Where's the party tonight?

Who doesn't want some fun before entering wedlock? Traditional pre-wedding sangeet and mehndi celebrations notwithstanding, young Indian bridegrooms, inspired by movies like "Hangover" and "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara", are heading to international destinations with their gang of boys for that last fling.


Where's the party tonight?

The Wynn Encore casino and hotel in Macau.

Abhishek Jain, a Delhi-based businessman, took seven of his friends to an unusual destination like Tashkent (capital of Uzbekistan) prior to his wedding last year.

"I did not want to go to a usual destination like Bangkok for my bachelor's. I wanted to go to some unheard place. I asked seven of my friends to be part of the celebration. Eventually, the six-day trip turned out to be an amazing one. The city had everything we were looking for -- great pubs, even better night clubs and it was complete value for money," Jain told IANS.

The trip cost them Rs.35,000 per person, but who was complaining?

"Besides the colourful nightlife and the ballet shows, the nearby areas of Tashkent had all that you need on a vacation. We were taken to a beautiful lake known as Charvak. We did water sports there, paragliding, go-karting and a whole lot of other things," he added.

Sachin Awasthi, a 26-year-old IT professional, wants to let loose once before the D-day.

"Since it would perhaps be the last time to have crazy fun with my cousins and friends, I want to do something bizarre, something similar to what the guys did in the movie 'American Pie'. But that might not be possible in our country because of legal issues and other rules. Places like Bangkok and Macau allow us to do those, and that's quite a temptation," said Awasthi.
