Continued male one-upmanship leads to first ever ‘stag year’
The growing trend amongst men for ever more elaborate and spectacular stag do celebrations has finally led to what is believed to be the first ever stag year.
When Kevin Lucas from Northampton decided to get married his mind immediately went to the stag do. Determined that it was going to be better than any he had been on previously, he left his wife-to-be in charge of the wedding arrangements and got straight to work on planning something memorable.
‘A few of my mates got married the year before and the stag dos were all pretty impressive. One was kind of activity based and we got to shoot each other in the face with paint pellets, try to run each other off a Go-Kart track, then go out and get hammered and end up in a strip club.’ said Kevin, who denies he’s over-competitive.
