I busted up a Bachelorette party! It's official: I'm an old fart!

[Laugh O. Grams]

And to think...over the hill and out of the loop of what's cool at 36!! Let me explain...
We were at 8 Traxx at Pleasure Island Saturday night and I noticed a Bachelorette Party going full blast at around midnight. The bride, the maid of honor and about 6 friends had the typical thing going strong: the edible life savers t-shirt on the bride, the phallic toys, etc. and every last one of them were trashed. Now I'm certainly no prude...I've been the Best Man at 2 weddings and let me tell you, we tore up some serious strip joints on both occasions. The difference being, no matter how much he had to drink, I would never allow the groom to do something to potentially end the marriage before it started or put him in a dangerous situation.

We kinda kept our eye on the party from time to time, just to laugh at how crazy they were being, until I noticed some odd and potentially criminal behavior. The rest of the party stumbled off, leaving the maid of honor alone with the early 20-ish year old bride and two big beefy, I'd say, 60-ish men who wouldn't leave her alone. Now she wouldn't have known any better, as she could hardly stand on her own, and was completely out of it, but these guys were grinding on the bride like there was no tommorrow, were talking turns groping her under her clothes and both dudes were making out with her!! I was getting completely freaked out because of all the people around, noone was doing anything to stop it! I thought that everything was OK, when the maid of honor noticed what was going on and walked over, and then...she grabbed the bride and deep tongue kissed her for 10 seconds and turned her back over to the strangers!! I couldn't believe what I was watching, so I told my wife to hold my drink so that I could go down and stop it. I walked across the dance floor, pushed the 2 drunken meat heads away from the bride, dared them both to try something, grabbed her by the arm, and half carried her over to the maid of honor. I told her to get her F-ing head in the game and do her GD job of protecting her "friend" or I was going to security to turn them all in. The maid of honor looked stunned, gathered her party together and left the club. I also pointed them all out to security anyway so that I would at least have that piece of mind.

I tell you what, I haven't been that POed in a long time!!

thank you.

I don't know if it makes you old or not....but I think you did a very good thing! I would gladly invite you to any of my parties! The bride should be thanking you. I hope they went home after that.

 

[gris gris]

Sounds like a party the bride will remember (or maybe not?) forever! Good for you for helping them out. All best men should be like you - not allowing the groom (or in the case the bride) to do something that they'd regret forever.

Imagine if this bride or her bridal party are on these boards?? LOL We'll have to watch out for a post about an old fart breaking up their drunken party

 

[AprilShowers]

You did a good thing. If more people acted like you, that situation probably wouldn't have happened in the first place.
What kind of creeps grope a bride to be at her bachelorette party? YUK.

As a mother of two daughters, I'd like to say Thank You.

 

[AshAlytwins]

God forbid that would happen to one of my daughters some day, but if it did I hope someone like you is around.....you did the right thing!!!!!

 

[figment52]

I can't say I would have done exactly the same but YOU DID GOOD!!! (I would have gone to security and had them deal with it).

I have NEVER understood why people have to drink so much they lose control of themselves. The worst part is neither girl will ever know that you rescued/saved them. I hope they got home ok.

 

[jsbjeb]

Good For You! They should be thanking you!!!!!

 

[kaabost]

For the sake of her future husband, I hope the wedding falls through!

We'll never know, but I'd be willing to bet that marriage won't last very long.

I never have and never will understand the whole bachelor/bachelorette party mentality. I would understand if it was really about celebrating your last night as a single person, but the whole getting drunk and losing all self-respect doesn't sound like a celebration to me.

 

[tarmand]

You did a good thing. Now, here I go getting all judgemental.......

The fact that the bachlorette was so drunk and not in control speaks volumes of her maturity level to me. I got married at 21 and never dreamed of having a drunken festival to celebrate my marriage. I have always found it disgusting when I see a group of females acting vulgar on bachlorette parties. Why do you need to drink through a straw shaped like male genitals to celebrate your upcoming nuptials?

 

[Peter Pirate]

Are you...Er, ah...Mr. Incredible?

Way to go LOG!!! I'd like to think I'd do the same but I don't think I could...First of all I'm almost always totally oblivious and secondly I'm way to nonconfrontational...Maybe I need to change that.

 

[THE HAT]

as a member of the female race......thank you......my dh would have done the same thing. if you had not stepped in you never would have been able to sleep that night. it is nice to know that there are still some gentlemen left in this world....and even better a member of the DIS!!!

 

[Sheree Bobbins]

This is a disturbing post to me. What those men did was criminal. It's terrible when people drink to excess and are no longer responsible. This instance was extreme. Why do drunken people think they can rely on their drunken friends to keep them safe???

Thank God you were willing to protect a virtual stranger!

 

[Cantw8]

Awesome post. I wish more men were like you, you should be very proud of yourself ....what did your wife think about it?

You know what they say about great minds..........................

It seems we posted at the same time with the exact same thoughts.

 

[sajetto]

You did a good thing. However, the bride was being an idiot for getting that trashed in the first place. Sounds like her marriage is off to a good start

 

[Laugh O. Grams]

I tell you...it felt good doing it! When I walked back to my wife, she was like "You go, Superman!"

The reason I said I felt like an old fart is because I just wondered if this type of behavior is what passes for a fun bachelorette party these days?!?!

Not for this bachelorette. That sort of behavior disgusts me. I'm marrying my DF because its what I want to do and I love him more than anyone else on earth. I don't feel the need to "celebrate" the last night of my life as a single woman and I sure as heck don't ever want another man touching me for any reason. If I did want to do that then that would tell me that I had no buisness getting married

I sure hope not...

BTW, I'm very impressed too. There aren't a lot of men left like you (my DH would have felt the same way you did though).
