People Are Sharing The Wild Things That Happened At Bachelor And Bachelorette Parties That Should've Caused The Wedding To Be Canceled
Recently, we asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us about the wildest thing they witnessed on a bachelor or bachelorette trip. Here are some of their responses: Note: Not all stories are from the BuzzFeed Community. Some are from this Reddit thread. 1."Buddy of mine (I wasn't there) had his bachelor party in Vegas and had sex with a stripper. Then he had sex with another stripper the next night. One of the guys who went on the trip with him WAS HIS FIANCÉS BROTHER!!! So when they got back home, the brother said, 'I hope you had fun, but I have to tell my sister what you did.'" "It was a whole thing, but the dude ended up not saying anything, so the brother told his sister (the fiancé) what happened. She married him anyway, and he ended up repeatedly cheating on her. Eventually, they got divorced." —u/ChampionshipStock870 2."It was a bachelor party in Las Vegas. Nobody knew that the groom had a problem with gambling. The first night we're there, we were all in the casino having drinks and playing cards. The groom got up to 'get a drink' and never came back to the group. After hours of searching for him, we finally found him sitting on the bathroom floor of his hotel room crying his eyes out. He lost over $10,000 in just a few hours playing blackjack. We were there for three more days, and he pretty much didn't even leave his hotel room and was terrified to go home and tell his fiancé he gambled away most of their savings." —u/mox44ah 3."The bride, her maid of honor, and three bridesmaids all went for a four-day girls' trip to Vegas. One of the three bridesmaids let it slip that the bride, the maid of honor, and one of the bridesmaids all had sex with guys they met there. The wedding was called off, and the maid of honor's marriage ended." —u/dogguy444 4."It was a bachelorette party a week before the wedding. A couple of other friends and I said it was a bad idea. We knew the bride and knew nothing good could come from a Vegas trip. But she really wanted it. Red flag right there. Sure enough, a video was sent to her fiancé of her making out with some random couple at the club we were at. And apparently that's not all that happened. She said that the couple recorded their threesome." "It sucks, too, because her fiancé was a really sweet guy. She wasn't even drunk either. Not that it would make it better, honestly. But she made all these decisions sober. She told us to fuck off when we tried to get her away from the couple." —u/Living_Bath4500 5."As a bartender and server in Savannah, Georgia, I saw a soon-to-be-groom flip off his fiancée and proceed to make out with the maid of honor at my table, while I was standing there. I didn't know what to do, so I stood there awkwardly as fighting ensued." —tedf4f45654b2 6."My ex insisted on a bachelorette in Vegas before our wedding. I get a panicked call from her sister in the middle of the night that they lost her (my ex) because she drank too much and became belligerent. She went off with two of her bridesmaids, who also were not answering their phones, and the short version is that those two friends hooked up with random strangers from Vegas that night. My ex claimed she had nothing to do with it, which I believed at the time, but came to realize I was fooling myself. Well, those two friends were both in long-term committed relationships that ended when their Vegas antics were revealed." "The rest of the bridal party wouldn't speak to my ex for years after this fiasco because of the fallout. My ex somehow held me responsible for the outcome because I rallied the troops — her sisters and the remaining non-drunk or non-cheating bridal party members — to find them, and called all the nearby hotels and venues I thought they might be at. When I finally found them, they were in the wrong hotel having a stand-off with security, which I successfully de-escalated from 3,000 miles away." —u/ET4117 7."One of my closest friends at the time slept with a stranger from the club when we were out partying two nights before her wedding. It was shocking and upsetting, and since she was my friend, I tried not to be judgmental. But damn, who does that?" —lizk41ced1621 8."This was at a friend's bachelorette! It was a small group of about five girls, including the bride. It was in a city about three hours from where we all live. She invited a male 'friend' to a club we were going to because 'he lived nearby and she hadn't seen him in a while.' At the club, they were in a corner all night, and definitely looked like more than friends. It was incredibly awkward for the rest of us, and he tagged along the rest of the night while she was wearing a white bachelorette dress and her engagement ring." "The next morning, she confessed that she'd always had a crush on this 'friend,' and wasn't sexually attracted to her fiancé. The rest of the trip, she kept asking us what she should do, since she didn't physically cheat on her fiancé. Despite almost all of us telling her to break up with her fiancé, she decided it would be too much to break off a wedding since everything was already paid for. I couldn't stand by her as a friend after witnessing that. I went to her wedding, and now don't talk to her, but to my knowledge, she is still married to the original fiancé she wasn't attracted to." —ilovemymonstera 9."We went to Vegas for a friend's bachelorette party. All the girls I went with cheated on their partners they were with at the time. Bridesmaid #1 was pissed I wasn't partaking in these activities with them. When they came back, the boyfriend of Bridesmaid #1 found out she was still texting/dating the guy she had cheated on him with, and he freaked out. Bridesmaid #1 didn't want to be the only one whose relationship fell apart, so she threw Bride and Bridesmaid #2 under the bus and told everyone that they had cheated as well. The entire friend group imploded, and none of us talk to each other anymore. Bridesmaid #1 married the guy she cheated with, Bride married her partner (he never found out), and Bridesmaid #2 broke up with her boyfriend (he never found out, either). I hate Vegas." —u/mala72 10."My friend's fiancé went to a bachelor party. After he came back, she deleted all of his pictures on Instagram and broke up with him. He had videos on his phone with a $1,500 sex worker. She asked why he even recorded it, and he said because it cost $1,500. Bruh." —u/Prestigious_View_401 11."A relationship that had been sidelined by infidelity (on his part) ended up back together. As good decisions go, they decided to push past the insecurities by getting married. He planned his own bachelor party, and we were just along for the ride. Her one rule: no naked girls. The second stop of the evening (after the all-you-can-eat buffet) was, of course, a gentleman's club. We all chipped in and got him a private dance or two, hoping to soon be on our way. Instead, he went off with two girls and was gone for almost an hour, racking up hundreds of dollars in charges." "We went to collect him and move on, and he said, 'You guys got this covered, right?!' No, bud. We'd already spent what we brought. Bouncers appeared from nowhere and 'politely' prevented us from leaving until he settled up. I had to help him drunkenly activate the PIN on his card to visit the ATM. Guess who was monitoring his spending activity? He flew home to an empty apartment." —u/JohnGalt314 12."At one bachelorette party I went to years ago, it was the bride-to-be's goal by the end of the night to have as many men hit on her/buy her drinks/etc, as possible. It turned out that every single guy was really sweet and mature and self-respecting, and realized, 'Hey, this girl is dressed in all-white with a bachelorette sash. I'll just congratulate her and not hit on her like a scumbag.' And all the people who bought her drinks/shots were other women or the bartenders! Well, my friend didn't like this, and as the night progressed, she got more and more forward and pushy. She was essentially begging men to hit on her, which only in turn made them scurry away. Not really a life-or-death secret, but I guarantee if she knew her husband-to-be acted the same way at his bachelor party, she'd be furious, and if her husband ever found out, he would be pretty sad." —cheesebones 13."A friend of mine was engaged to a narcissist, and everyone warned her not to marry him, but it was one of those 'marriage will fix our problems' situations. The night of the bachelorette, we all got very wasted, obviously, and she drunkenly confessed to me that she'd had an emotional affair with two different men on Instagram. Both men lived in different parts of the country, and she had no intention of meeting either of them, but she spoke to them almost daily. She said she needed the emotional validation from these two men because she did not get any from her fiancé. When I tried to discuss this with her the next day, when sober, she shrugged it off as not a big deal. She got married the week after, and they're still married, but to my knowledge, she hasn't ended her emotional affairs either." —Anonymous, 26, South Africa 14."The bachelor and bachelorette parties were the night before the wedding; two separate locations. The groom disappeared from his. He was found in the morning, passed out in some bushes. His friends were so drunk, they didn't notice he fell over when they went to an ATM. " —Anonymous, 55, Los Angeles 15."OK, I confess, it happened to me and 19 of my best friends at my bachelor party in a packed strip club when there came a swarm of women busting past the security guards, screaming names that were very well-known to me. Suddenly, my right ear was in a vice grip by the wife of a good friend who was also yelling for her to let go of his left ear. All the ladies were grabbing their boyfriends or husbands by their hair or an ear, and then they pulled all 19 of us out of the strip club." "I went back to that bar two days later to pay off any tab left behind. The manager said the dancers paid for it because, in their words, it was the funniest thing they had ever experienced in a strip club. 49 years later, in my only marriage, I bet that was some funny stuff to watch." —magicalcentipede207 finally, "I was the designated driver on a bar crawl bachelorette. The group got separated, and it took a while to locate the very drunk bride. We found her necking on the hood of a cop car with a handsome stranger. The wedding went on as planned, but the handsome 'stranger' picked up the newlywed bride at the airport after her honeymoon.

"I Thought That Was A Normal Thing People Did": People Are Revealing Their Family's Weirdest Traditions, And Some Of Them Are Very Bizarre
When I was a kid, I'd never realized just how weird my family was until I started spending more time at my friends' houses (though some of them had pretty weird families too... Maybe families are just inherently weird???) Recently, people on Reddit shared the "normal" thing their family did that they later realized was pretty weird, and the responses had me laughing and nodding my head. Here are some of the top comments: 1."I thought every family had a puke bowl. Which is not solely designated just for puke." —sunshine_tequila "You're telling me not every family had one? My family certainly did. It was a yellowish-orangey bowl. I'll never forget it." —sketchybritt 2."I grew up with an autistic brother who makes a lot of humming noises to express emotion, and the whole family eventually ended up doing it too (to a lesser extent). Didn't realize it was weird until someone pointed out we never shut up even though we're not actually saying anything." —takurina "I love this. I have a nonverbal family member, and we communicate a lot with hums and weird noises. It's like our own little language ♥️." —Ayyyooothrowitaway 3."I thought every kid only saw their mom half the week. My mom works three 12-hour shifts Sunday-Tuesday, so I hardly saw her those days. It wasn't until I started having a later bedtime that I got to see her when she got off on those days. I remember talking to a friend, and she was talking about doing something with her mom that night, and I went, 'Wow, you get to see your mom on a Monday?'" —AKamDuckie "Same. My mom was a nurse!" —OkAcanthaceae9549 4."When we went on road trips and crossed a border, say from Nebraska to Kansas, someone in the front seat would put their hand in the front of the dashboard and say, 'First one in Kansas,' and someone in the backseat would put their hand in the back window and say, 'Last one in Nebraska.'" —emwcee 5."I realized fairly early on that I was the odd one out for washing my hands like a medical professional (my mom is a nurse) and that washing my hands and forearms is usually not necessary. I felt really called out five years ago when a friend with benefits who is a doctor gave me a really weird look and then asked me, 'Why the fuck are you washing your hands like you're getting ready for surgery?' after we got done having sexy times. Made me realize I could probably tone it down." —JustJake1985 6."My mother, for some reason, refused to put little trash bins in the two bathrooms that we had. You'd have to carry your used Q-tips or cotton balls to the garbage can in the kitchen." —Soft_Effect_6263 "My mom, too. I didn't think anything of it until my friends and I were old enough to have periods! Carrying used products to the kitchen wasn't fun." —Cat_lady4ever 7."My family has a version of 'Jingle Bell Rock' that we sing during Christmas. I didn't know it wasn't the original lyrics until grade 5 in music class, where we had to split into groups and sing a Christmas carol in front of the class. Someone in my group suggested this song and asked if we all knew the lyrics, and we all said yes. When it was our turn, we all started out singing the same thing..." "Then suddenly I was singing something different than the others. I was so confused. Went home and told my dad, and he's like 'Oh, yeah, your sister came up with those lyrics when she was younger, 'cuz she didn't know the correct ones.'" —Wickked1 8."My father was a driver's ed instructor. Imagine my surprise when I realized that not every car has two sets of pedals on each side." —redsire9997 9."We always cut frozen pizzas with scissors. We still do." —No-Captain88 "Do you cook them first? Or just cut them while frozen?" —Pheighthe "Cook first. My grandma had 'food scissors,' which were different from the regular scissors for mail and stuff." —plumcots 10."In my family, we don't ever say 'I love you,' we'll say 'hey barf-breath' or something. If we don't insult you, that means we don't love you." —1DietCokedUpChick 11."Calling a bowel movement a 'job.' 'I have to go do a job.' Never heard anyone else ever say that. I often wondered if I should punch a time clock and unionize. Does that come with benefits?" —Off2xtremes 12."Tie the hairbrush to the bathroom faucet. My mom had five daughters and was tired of not being able to fix her hair in the morning because the brush had wandered off under the couch or a bush or something." —BroadLocksmith4932 "We tied the TV remote to the coffee table for the same reason." —WoodenTemperature430 13."My mom washed the groceries before putting them in the cupboard. Not just the produce, but boxes of cereal and canned goods and everything else. I'm not sure I thought it was something everyone did, but I didn't realize how odd it was until I was older. I didn't see anything like it until COVID hit and people thought it was living on surfaces." —Cleopatra435 14."When we were kids, my mom made us vacuum the dog every Saturday. She was a black lab who didn't shed that much. I thought everyone vacuumed their dogs." —freezing91 15."Every person in my family ate a different meal at dinner time. My mom is a vegetarian, my dad is not, and I don't eat beef or pork. So when I was a kid, I'd usually end up eating some combo of what my parents had. Or my mom would make me something totally different. I'd eat while my mom and dad were in the kitchen making their own, different dinners. Then they'd eat dinner together, but not the same food. Even now, as an adult, if I'm with them, they each are eating something different for dinner, and usually I'm eating some combo. I thought this was so normal." —Able-Pay333 16."We used to put ketchup on popcorn. I genuinely thought that was a normal thing people did at movie nights. First sleepover at a friend's place, I asked for ketchup and everyone looked at me like I was a criminal." —Familiar-Print7098 17."Having a sock basket. I don't know why, but we put all of the clean socks into a basket for everyone to choose from. I didn't think anything of it until I stayed at other people's homes, and they just kept their socks in the sock drawer. I need to ask my mom why the hell we did that." —tinyyawns finally, "I was in college before I realized there were Nazis in The Sound of Music. My mom turned off the TV when Maria married Captain VonTrapp. We went to bed. I was in college, and someone brought up the Nazis. I laughed because of the ultimate disconnect. But then I had to rent the VHS. Imagine my shock, after I load the second VHS, after the wedding?! Wtf. I lost my mind." —Backtaalk Can you relate?
