I've been to a handful, but only for family (mine and my girlfriend's). I disagree with you, Rowan. On the stag night, you're not married yet. You're committed to marry, but not actually married. It's meant to be a "last hurrah". The guy getting married will never get another chance to do things like that. Harmless, really.

So basically what you are saying is that unless you are married, theres no commitment? I have to disagree with you there. If you have an intimate relationship with someone, even yet, someone who you are getting prepared to marry, why would you discrace your partner like that? 'last hurrah' sounds like an excuse for cheating, my friend. If you truly cared about your girl, you would respect her enough not to have tits in your face, straight out. But not all relationships are the same, I suppose. I guess I find tradition stale and pointless.
