Hey all,
So I have my Bachelor trip coming up and super excited about it. As of right now it's 5 of my really close friends, and we haven't all gotten together in forever, so it's gonna be awesome. However, our parties are pretty traditional. My fiancee included my sister in her party and I included her brothers and my brother in mine. I think it will be great - we kind of did it out of tradition and we're both happy to how out parties are set up. The thing is - am I being unreasonable for just wanting my friends to come on the trip? Her brothers wouldn't be able to make it and there won't be any issue. We're all really cool still. My brother is almost 10 years younger than me, and we've never been particularly close. We actually didn't talk for a year recently due to family drama. We're back on speaking terms and I made him a groomsman, and I'm happy about it. I think years down the line I'll be happy my brother was a part of the wedding day. BUT, I really just want to go with my friends on the Bachelor trip. I feel like I'll be able to really be myself and just have a good time, as we're all in our early 30s - it'll probably be the last time we all get together with just guys. He's in his early 20s. Would it be out of line to just have a friends trip and then have a Bachelor party where we go out with our brothers and friends for a night when the wedding gets closer?
