Misguided bachelor party advice of the year

From The Knot: Complete Guide to Weddings in the Real World:
The groom should: ... Ask the party host to let your honey in on his plans. Being in the know will put her mind at ease. Who knows? Maybe she can even contribute something to the bash -- a raunchy audiotape saying what she's going to do to you come wedding night, perhaps?
That's right, ladies. The Knot is suggesting not only that you talk dirty but you do so on a permanent recording which you then hand over to someone - possibly even his brother - to play at a bachelor party ... Well holy god.

if that's a "wedding in the real world" then i'm quite happy to ignore reality. this seems like a trick someone would play on you--not an actual suggestion. wow.

What is up with normally reasonable sources of advice for brides? First Brides Magazine tells women to use emotional blackmail to get daddy to shell out sufficient bucks for the do of your dreams, then The Knot advises women to BE the dirty movie at the bachelor's party!

The authors of those two pieces of bridal advice desperately need a poke in the snoot. I'm a grown woman, not a spoiled toddler. I'm a fully realized sexual being, but not a sex worker. I can talk rationally about money, and I refuse to make myself a dirty joke among my beloved's best friends.

Okay, this is shamelessly self-promotional, but my new book BACHELOR PARTY CONFIDENTIAL certainly offers more realistic advice and--for better and for worse--is full of real stories from real bachelor parties (including the "entertainment." Not sure? Check out an excerpt HERE...

Did anybody see shoot-it-yourself on dragans den?? With their old rubbish cameras that you need to change tape and battery every hour? I guess they do the job and their videos are pretty good. But why you check out their #1 revial - www.film-by-you.co.uk. No changing tapes as everything is recorded straight to the top of the range video cameras. Battery life – just under 6 hours!! 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Rated: ★★★★★ and their video editing is better than anything I’ve ever seen
