One in 10 weddings cancelled after stag and hen dos

 

A scene from one of the most well known stag party films of all time, The Hangover (Part II), much of which was set in Bangkok

 

For Brits, London is the No 1 destination for the ‘last night of freedom’

 

Divorce rates may be on the decline, but could it be this is due in part to the fact that nearly one in 10 couples never actually get as far as the altar/registry office as a result of the shenanigans that go on a stag or hen do?

 

In a survey, a third of Brits admitted to cheating on the dos. Many, it seems, think that such behaviour is part and parcel of holding such an event. Expected, almost!

 

The UK’s wedding plans are being ripped up as 9% of weddings are being cancelled because of extreme behaviour on stag and hen dos with 33%of the country admitting to cheating on their partner while on one.

 

The survey, undertaken by myracing.com, delves into the nation’s behaviour and preferences, such as top locations, activities and the darker elements that go on during the traditional pre-wedding send-offs. 

 

Research into what takes place on stag and hen dos reveals that Brits are getting into all sorts of tricky situations that are resulting in people going to hospital, returning home with more than they intended and wedding plans being halted.

 

Nearly a quarter of men (22%) have cheated on their partner while on a stag with one in 10 blokes admitting to cheating on their own bachelor party, in comparison 11% of women have cheated while on a hen do.

 

Nearly one in five men think it’s more acceptable to be unfaithful on a stag do than at any other time with only 9% of women thinking the same way and 18%of Brits expect to behave worse on home soil when on a stag do.

 

The bad behaviour being dished out in party cities across the world range from pranks and unfortunate incidents to illegal activities. 

 

Nearly a quarter of stag and hens (23%) have been kicked out of a bar or club and this is the most common occurrence, followed by drug taking with 19% admitting to it, with 17% losing their phone and the same number losing wallets or purses.

 

The fifth most common act is spending savings with 15%doing this, followed by being told not to take photos (14%), waking up in another town (12%), being chucked out of their accommodation (12%), tied to a lamp-post (11%) and being asked to give up their phone (10%).

Better to say you have to go on a business trip up north somewhere then slip off to Pattaya to get your naughtiness on.

Soi 7/1 was part of the film set when the bar burnt and riot ensued.

The article refers to Brits living in Britain...

London was the preferred destination, not Pattaya.

 

I am sure for Brits in Thailand (and their spouses to be ...or not) the figure would be a lot different.

 

I am sure a Stag do's in Soi 6 and the bride to be skipping her hen do for a trick or too would top the list...

 

Possibly the groom bumping into the bride to be in a Soi 6 bar... ????

What happened to trust in relationships?

That would lead to the question: how much would she charge him for a short time ????

Probably unhappy with the service at a so called 'club' ?

What a story. Wonder if it is that bad in North America, or worse?    Better to have no marriage than Hubby or wifey to cheat after and bring home a surprise disease.  What a world..

Nothing to do with the stag or hen do, IMO. Just the dawn of reality setting in as one or the other realises that they were going to make a terrible mistake, and wises up.

Hopefully more will realise that they are making a mistake and the % called off will rise.

Is marriage even a viable concept in our modern world?
