The Bachelor Party

Our bachelor/bachelorette party was an interesting one. The purpose of an argentine bachelor party is essentially to humiliate the bride/groom to be as much as possible. They tend to throw eggs and flour on them, make them dress up in odd outfits, and then parade them around the street. Sometimes it can even go to the extreme of ripping their clothes off and parading them around naked, covered in egg and whatever else they decided to throw at the poor guy. There have even been cases where they decided to tie the person up, against a tree or pole, and leave them there. People have even died on the night before their wedding because of it!

Luckily our party wasn't nearly as humiliating or dangerous. Rose and I took it upon ourselves to dress up so that our friends would have no reason to dress us up or undress us. I dressed up as Captain Hook and Rose was Tinkerbell. It was kind of an odd couple now that I think about it, (Tink and Hook hate each other!) but I liked the Hook costume a lot more than the Peter Pan one (I don't look good in tights). After getting dressed up two of Rose's friend, Jimena and Maria Rosa met us at her house. From there we went together to a small bar in downtown Monte Grande. There we awaited the arrival of the rest of the group.

Once everyone was there we set out. We walked around downtown Monte Grande for a bit, supposedly to get the humiliation portion of the evening over with. It wasn't too eventful though. We then decided to go to a club where we danced the night away. I'm not much of a dancer myself, but I still had lots of fun. We danced until the wee hours of the morning. When it came time to leave we found that Maria Rosa was unable to walk under her own power. It turns out she had sneaked off from the group and ordered a tequila at some point during the night. I guess she wasn't used to such strong drinks, and supposedly it was the first time she had ever officially been "drunk". So with the inebriated Maria Rosa in tow, we head back to Rose's parents' house. And thus ended our "wild" lives as singles. I wouldn't give up the married life and go back to being single for anything though.
