In Sparta, during the heights of Greek civilization, the soldiers were the ones who first held a stag party. The groom would throw a party with friends the night before his wedding. He would bid his friends farewell and promise his loyalty to them.”
Many wedding websites have this information, but hearing what happened at an actual stag do is more interesting.
Jason has been married with a daughter for seven years. When asked about his stag do, he smiles mischievously.
“I had my stag do in February 1994. It started around 8 pm, after work hours, of course. What do I think of stag nights in general? I view it as a rite of passage. The “herd” gathers to show their acceptance of their intended mate and let the “stag” know they accept him. “It is a tradition which every man must follow if only for the satisfaction of knowing that he’s experienced every life situation possible.”
The media hasn’t changed the public’s perception of a stag do. They have even shown scenes where a woman paid to perform a stag would jump out of the cake to please the groom-to-be. The born woman would then lead the groom into a private room where she would assess his sexual performance and report back to his friends.
Has Jason ever been subjected to any of the following
“Well, I’d say we went out to have fun, and we did. It wasn’t for me to end up with a prostitute. As a joke, one of my friends was with her. We watched him try to get the woman in the room while drunk. What was the result? Only those present at the event can reveal this secret.”
Jason continues to tell his story, explaining why and what a stag is.
“It’s a cliché to have a Stag Party, but it is also a tradition, just like when a woman has her bridal shower. The main difference is that the male must be responsible for his friends. My friends did not put any pressure on me to prove anything. “I guess the wildness of the stag would depend almost always on the company you keep.”
What advice would he give to grooms and friends of grooms who are planning a stag do
Never have your stag do with people you don’t trust. Do not do anything you will regret in the future, and don’t feel you must go to great lengths to please your friends. It comes down to how you wish to celebrate your final days as a man. The best answer would be “To each his own.” ”
What do you think of the statement that a stag night would allow a groom to vent his wedding nerves on his friends and possibly have a change of heart?
“That’s a foolish idea.” Marriage isn’t something you can decide on the spur-of-the-moment and then ignore the next. The stag is a celebration of the man’s next step in life. He will dedicate his time to caring for another person, his wife. The stag party is a way to gain perspective on the events that will be happening in his life and to become more serious. “It may be a machismo phenomenon, but stag nights have existed for centuries. If a man changes his mind about marriage based on one night, he’s not ready to marry in the first place.”
Did you keep pictures of your stag
“You’ve got to be kidding!” There were no pictures, of course. Stag parties are one event that doesn’t deserve any photos. “It should be forgotten and only come up in stories when the next stag party comes around.”
