    I don't get the tacky stripper parties.

    On various blogs dealing with weddings, I often see all this female angst about wanting to be the "cool fiancee" who doesn't mind her betrothed going out to watch other naked women gyrating lewdly right before they get married. I just don't get this. Why would you want to marry someone who hadn't gotten all that out of his system long ago?

    My fiance had a bachelor's night out, sort of, but it involved all the men in the wedding party (three recent college grads and two 13-year-old boys) going out for pizza, video games, and a late night viewing of Star Trek IV.

    (And no, he hasn't gotten any of that out of his system.)
