So, one of the guys in my friend's bridal party has bailed on the bachelor party because "it's really not that big a deal." Isn't he like, obligated to show to it, considering he's a friend of the groom?
I like!
No thanks!

Personally, I'd kick him out of the wedding if the wedding wasn't a week and a half away, tuxes rented, programs printed, etc.

I might understand if he was some distant relation to the bride and was only a groomsman to make even numbers, but really dude?

I'm going to a bachelorette party and I'm not even in the bridal party. What a dick.

i think if you're part of the bridal party i think it's a must, it's showing support and usually you try to find some way to raise a little cash for the groom depending on what's going down

Is this guy single? Maybe his significant other's not down with the idea of the bachelor party being a "bad influence," and he's trying to pass it off nonchalantly?

It's because the bachelor party isn't in vegas. If it was in Vegas - I bet the guy would TOTALLY be down.

No, the party is Halo/Rock Band/strippers/poker in my apartment, then bars. He agreed to it three weeks ago, and is now trying to bail.
@art - I think he's taken, but we've been talking about this for about a month, and he seemed down until now, so I dunno.

When my friend Dave got married four years ago, his bride-to-be tried to get her brother included in the bachelor party. That idea got squashed quickly. We couldn't drive to Vegas fast enough.

See, all the groomsmen are friends of the groom. No bride's-side tomfoolery involved. Rumor is that this guy is just a dick like this. Another rumor is that he asked another friend at his tux fitting if other-friend wanted his place in the wedding. I'm guessing just he's a grade-AA douche.

I didn't suspect the bride's side in this, but reading that last post, Paully, I might amend my shenanigans theory ...

Yeah, I guess I've never been in a wedding party (I actually said no because I really AM an asshole) and I'm not really sure if I'd be mad if someone from my wedding party didn't show up at my bachelorette party. I guess I'm just not experienced in these matters.

So apparently not only is the guy not coming to the bachelor party, he's dropping out of the wedding altogether, 10 days before the ceremony.

What? That is super weird. And lame. I mean, especially with all the additional dropping out of the wedding junk.
yes
