Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, there was a running joke that the men of the wedding party would be heading to Vegas the day before the wedding, and they would return the day of. In the process, they would lose one member of their crew (amongst other hijinks), but ultimately make it back looking like hot messes for the wedding.
That’s right—they basically planned to live out the plot of The Hangover. Now…I wasn’t against the whole Vegas trip in theory. The problem was twofold: one, how can Mr. Otter get that much vacation (he can’t!) and two: we are helping pay for this wedding, so spending that much money on a trip was probably not the best idea. But OK, whatever, I went along with it (mostly).
Then one day, the groom made a grave error.
At a family cookout, he and Best Man Batman announced their plan to the entirety of my family along with his dad. And they all freaked out. Suddenly the long running Hangover plan was no longer a joke, but rather a “when are we going to plan this?” Against my objections, they started to make theoretical plans, even with Mr. Otter saying he didn’t have the vacation time.
Amongst other declarations:
Basically:

Best Man Batman would totally be Alan. Why? Well, to put it simply—I can just totally picture BM B walking around with a baby on his chest! 
Then we have the groom who makes jackass jokes. Yep, that’s my fiancé (along with all of his friends…but we love them for it!). And then finally GM Lil Dude who, like I already said, would totally marry a hooker. Goat and the rest of the gang aren’t pictured since (a) Goat would be lost and (b) there aren’t enough characters in the movie to compare the entire gang to.
My warning to you? If you see the following idiots in Vegas, watch out.

ilikeballet: Oh trust me, they have been warned. I think they make these jokes to raise my blood pressure… and it works every time. Haha.
Oh I hate jokes liket that. I finally got it throught to my FI that one of his family’s jokes was about to make me dump him he got the hint that it wasn’t funny anymore and told them to lay off.
I really hope they are kidding. I’ll keep my eyes open for any random news briefs.
Highness: Oh, they have been warned. It was like a slow motion movie the day he said it in front of my family – I was like “noooooooo” in the background but it was too late. Sigh.
It’s always the things that get under your skin the most that people seem to remember 
Hopefully they’ll let up once they realize it’s never gonna happen!
I would KILL my FI if he did this!! A week before, sure, take a take or two with your buds. But the day before? Why toy with missing one of the most important, most expensive days of your life?
Mrs. Otter, Indianapolis, IN Age and Occupation: 22, Freelance Social Media Consultant Fiance's Age and Occupation: 23, CVS Shift Supervisor Engagement Date: November 11, 2011 Wedding Date: April 2013 Venue: Mustard Seed Gardens About Me: I'm a born and raised Hoosier girl, but a diehard Michigan Wolverines fan. I have a tendency to take too many photos and spend full days having TV marathons. Mr. Otter and I met in high school, started dating a couple years later, and moved in after a month of being official. He is easygoing and makes plans on a whim, while I'm color coordinating my planner and organizing everything in sight. He hates glitter, but it's my favorite thing. I have tattoos and he still won't get one, despite my attempts to convince him. We're planning a small, rustic, and (hopefully!) peony-filled wedding to get our married life started. (And yes, there will be glitter involved!)
