I mentioned that I am heading to the US for a bucks weekend (AKA – bachelor weekend, I can’t believe the number of people who have never heard the term ‘Bucks Weekend’). It is an old friend of Kip’s who I’ve met a bunch of times and snowboarded with when I’ve visited Kip in Colorado.
It is a gay marriage and the guys are renting a couple of huge house boats on Lake Powell. It looks gorgeous and the weather should be nice and hot in the Utah/Arizona desert. I’m flying into Denver and heading up to Kip’s and pretty much straight away we are on the road for a 9 hour plus drive across and down there where we’ll spend July 4th on the water.
I have never been to a gay wedding before, nor have I been to a gay bucks weekend. I really am not sure what to expect… will it be just days of debauchery or will it be sedate? You can bet that as soon as I find out I will be informing you guys about it.
Speedos will be packed and a solid supply of condoms and lube as well of course…..

Despite having lived in several English-speaking countries, I can’t say I’ve ever heard the “Bucks’ Weekend” phrase before…”Stag Party,” yes, but that can cover a variety of things, but often means a pre-wedding bachelor party…so, it just might be a regional thing of “rutting antlered male animal” ultimately. 😉
As for the guy pictured here: well, I wouldn’t buck him off the jet ski, that’s for sure! 😉
I’ve only been to one gay wedding (the couple is nice, and the reception was as well, but the ceremony itself–which is important considering my line of work!–was pretty ho-hum, even though it was done by a lesbian minister); I’ve never been to a bachelor party/bucks’ weekend/stag party/etc., and probably never will.
But, I’ll be in Vegas for part of this week and coming weekend, so that should be interesting! I am hoping I might get to speedo it up by the pool on one day, at least…we shall see.
