the group text chaos

options floated:

april 25-26 weekend (2 weeks before wedding).

may 2-3 weekend (1 week before wedding - A. vetoed immediately).

A’s input:

“not the week before. i need you functional for rehearsal dinner.”

“also you’re not going to vegas.”

me: “wasn’t planning vegas.”

A.: “good. because no.”

what they’re planning
#

current leading option:

san diego local (no travel).

friday night: bar crawl gaslamp.

saturday afternoon: topgolf.

saturday night: brewery tour.

attendees: 8 guys

A’s rules:

comparing to A’s bachelorette
#

her friends planning:

april 11-12 weekend (4 weeks before).

san diego wine country.

spa day saturday.

her cost: ~$600

attendees: 6 women

my rules:

none. she’s an adult.

A.: “you trust me?”

me: “yeah. you’re not going to do anything stupid.”

A.: “and if i did?”

me: “i’d be pissed but we’d work through it.”

A.: “i’m not going to.”

me: “i know.”

this is why it works.

therapy session (mar 4)
#

dr. r: “bachelor party planning. how’s that going?”

me: “friends organizing. A. set some rules. seems fair.”

dr. r: “what rules?”

me: “no strippers, no vegas, back by midnight.”

dr. r: “and you’re okay with that?”

me: “yeah. wasn’t planning strippers anyway. married guys in the group, nobody wants that drama.”

dr. r: “mature perspective.”

me: “also she said if i came home smelling like perfume she’d cut my dick off.”

dr. r: (slight smile) “motivating.”

me: “very.”

dr. r: “and the sex life during wedding countdown stress?”

me: “places list: 37. added my car in venue parking lot sunday (scouting reception setup).”

dr. r: “creative stress relief.”

me: “she bent over the back seat. i took her from behind right there. anybody could’ve walked by.”

dr. r: (shifting in seat) “the risk element.”

me: “huge turn-on for both of us. she came hard, i blew my load, we were both shaking after.”

A. (later when i told her): “dr. r definitely went home and fucked her husband after that session.”

me: “100%.”
