When a wedding can be seen on the horizon, it means it’s time for a bachelor or a bachelorette party. It’s a common tradition in the modern world and quite an old one. Spartans are believed to be the pioneers of such parties, as they started celebrating the groom’s last moments as an unmarried man back in the 5th century B.C.E. Their version included a dinner accompanied by toasts in the soon-to-be-wed’s honor.

But the typical program has gone way off course since then. Even though some people might still choose a nice dinner surrounded by friends, it is pretty common to make a wild night out of it now. The latter usually means alcohol, partying, and—in lots of cases—trouble. Quite a few of such instances were recounted by the 'Ask Reddit' community members (here, for example). We have listed some of the most shocking ones, ranging from adultery to terrible accidents, and beyond. Scroll down for the jaw-dropping stories.

    Aerial view of construction workers on site, illustrating teamwork and activity unrelated to bachelor and bachelorette party secrets. Wasn’t there but a mate was Best Man for his best friend at this Bucks Party. After much drinking there was a race around the block where the Groom to be, and a few others, took a short cut through a couple of backyards. Apparently as they jumped one of the fences several of them plummeted into a pool under construction and tragically the Groom was fatally impaled on the exposed re-bar and died there. This was something that changed everything for every one whom knew him and all his mates. After this terrible event anyone whom had Bucks Party’s after this event were decidedly more low key and uneventful. My mate still gets really upset when it’s ever mentioned. Context. This tragedy happened in the very early 90’s when construction sites weren’t so regulated hence the ‘no safety cap’ on the rebar. Thankfully that has changed. The guys were returning from a local pub crawl and had decided it would be a fun way to end the night with a foot race home, knowing these blokes, any spewing would’ve been an instant disqualification. Also anyone whom took the time to read the post, and it seems quite a few did, I’m hoping that we’re all reminded just how the promise and potential of a life can change in an instant. One seemingly harmless action or ill considered thought can/will affect you and others in ways we could never imagine. So thank you for reading, thank you for the comments and please stay safe.
