The Pre-Marital Bash
Today’s modern day pre-marital parties or shall we say “affairs” with the strippers and all that harmless naughtiness might not be the healthiest way to enter into the sacred bond of marriage after all. Don’t want to be a fuddy duddy but the divorce rate has reached something like 49% in the US.
I was attending a party last week for one of my Aunts; she was remarrying after losing her husband ten years prior. Wow! What an eye opener. We all showed up to a beautiful display of soft and delicate decorations. At first we gave gag gifts and laughed it up; but in the end we spoke very seriously about love relationships and being responsible for another person’s basic well being. When it was over, I was left with a quiet, peaceful feeling inside and was glad for the chance to be reflective and dignified. Marriage deserves that. I have had my share of male strippers; it seems kind of silly now.
I was informed that years ago the Bachelor party was intended as a chance for the Groom to bear his soul to his closest friends and acquaintances in regards to what he hoped for and expected from marriage. His friends in turn would relate their experiences and often write down words of wisdom acquired throughout their lives. It was originally intended for purposes of devotion as opposed to a regrettable farewell to the single life, and a kind of, guest of honor Roast. Sounds like soundness to me. Maybe less tequila shooters and more coffee might be a good idea. Best wishes to all of you couples out there.Written by Delightful Biteful
