Going to Vegas for a Bachelor party is a new thing that millennials started? Really? Getting tired of this song about millennials this and millennials that. Quit being a copycat of all the other old grumps.
Cold as ice!

Have a niece that age that just got married, after postponing it 3 times, Dec. 22 in northern Minnesota, cold... but she wanted everyone to come to the engagement party, bachelorette party, the pre wedding party, the after wedding party,.... half of which was all over the country., Oh, she's having an after, after wedding party this spring. Told my wife...just say no,..not just no , but H#LL no! Another princess who's only interested in the wedding photos of HER,, the groom was cropped out of the ones she liked the most , and the parties.
Even her own brother said he felt sorry for the groom

That's insane but I believe it. Been to 2 weddings were just the gazebo rental is $5000 Our wedding we spent less than $2000 total and that includes the rings and hotel room. The ring I bought was around $1000 (paid on layway) 3 diamond white gold. She spent maybe $300 on her dress and my tungsten ring w/1 diamond. That was over 10 years ago.

Millennial here, I've been to 31 weddings in the past 5 years. Here is my 2 cents:
I'm 28 with 2 kids and have been married for 3 years now. I have had many, many friends get married in the past 5 years and have done a wide variety of bachelor parties. Some of them are weekend trips such as driving to Nashville or renting houseboats. However, just as often I have went golfing at the local course, canoeing, fishing and pheasant hunting. Small day or weekend trips that cost less than $200 all together is the norm NOT the big expensive trips.
I have been invited on trips to Las Vegas and Miami and I did not go. Its just not really my thing, but in my experience the people planning these trips understood that not everyone would be able to go. They invited people to go, not expected them to go. To me that is the big difference. And if there are young people with free time and disposable income, I fail to see the problem with going on a trip with willing friends.
As far as the actual weddings themselves, I have been to everything from weddings held in our barn to expensive country clubs. So far there is no correlation to marriage success. I understand that 5 years is a small period of time, but of the 31 I have been to only 1 has ended in divorce. Heck, even my hunting buddy that married a vegan girl are going strong.
Millennials get a bad reputation for being selfish and entitled, however in my experience that is the exception instead of the norm, at least in my group of friends. Are there annoying and self centered ones? Yup. But there are also a pile of terrible 40 somethings, and 60 somethings. My 82 year old grandmother even deals with constant bickering among her friends.
Take it for what its worth, just my experience.

Back when he was in school a few years ago my nephew rented a Batman costume and staged a "scene" at his school, all to ask a girl to the prom.
Just to upstage the most recent ridiculous invitation to......a dance.
What is wrong with these people?
