Lions Lads Have Two Reasons to Party

Two rugby stars, Johnny Sexton and Paul O’Connell, had some of their team mates with them for their special occasions. Both of them gave the other lads a good reason to party too as Johnny got married and Paul had his low-key stag do in Lahinch.

What can one do for a stag do in Lahinch? Aside from partying and drinking, stag groups can golf away all day as this seaside resort is home to the Lahinch Golf Club which is a world famous golf club. More recently, the town also turned into a popular resort for surfing.

They had to give each other a pass as both occasions took place in one weekend. That also meant that the rest of the team had to go to either celebration.

Paul O’Connell’s Stag Party

Fans probably know that Paul and his bride-to-be, Emily O’Leary, have been together since they were twenty. In April 2010, they had a baby boy, Paddy O’Connell. In June 2012, the couple got engaged. Now, a year after, they plan to get married at the south of France later this month.

His fans would also know that Paul has been a supporter of Everton, Liverpool’s rival. For his stag do, he dressed up in a Liverpool 80s kit with a red jersey, shades, and a mullet. One of his groomsmen, Darragh O’Sullivan wrote “Liverpool’s latest signing” beside his pic. Those who know him probably had a laugh. Those who don’t know him will not really get the joke.

Johnny Sexton’s Wedding

Johnny Sexton married Laura Priestly last Friday afternoon. Laura is Johnny’s childhood sweetheart. They tied the knot at the Holy Trinity Church in Adare, County Limerick. After the celebration, they flew for that one-week honeymoon in Las Vegas. With a hectic schedule, the couple probably did not have enough time to have a stag or hen party.

The whole affair was quite romantic after Johnny revealed that two generations of his family got married in that place and that Adare was always close to his heart. After the ceremony, the wedding party was held at the Minstrel’s Gallery.

Paul and Johnny are team mates for both Ireland and Lions team. However, they already knew that they had to pass up each other’s special occasion as their schedule does not really give either of them a lot of free time. Both are busy as the Lions tour will be ending. Then, the domestic rugby season will be starting.

Stag Nights and the Trouble Adult Establishments Face

A lot of people know that stag nights nowadays tend to be a wild night out with the boys with a “no holds barred” theme going. As that implies, stag groups tend to go to adults establishments and other entertainment centers just to get their fix.

In a way, people celebrate stag parties the same way because that’s how they see it in Hollywood movies. In real life, those adult entertainment establishments get in trouble quite often. Though there are cities tagged as Sin Cities where everything else is legal. In other places, those things just aren’t legal. Even noise can be reason for complaint.

Key West’s Adult Entertainment Club

The Adult Entertainment Club in Key West, located in the United States, a popular stag night stop for a lot of stags, created quite a controversy. For the longest time, Key West held the reputation of a place that tolerates parties where “anything goes.” For that reason, this particular area has been a popular location for a lot of stag and hen parties.

As for that particular establishment, the Adult Entertainment Club also known as the Scrub Club, is actually just one out of many similar clubs in the area which frequented by men. Men visit this club for a lot of reasons. It has seen a lot of stag and divorce parties throughout the year.

Not a lot of people might know that within 756 days, this club has received a total of 301 calls complaining about that club. The main complaint would be the fact that the club bills credit and debit cards without the card holder’s permission. This means thousands of dollars mostly for services not rendered.

European Counterparts

Though nightclubs in Europe are not as notorious as this one, such things can still happen whenever men are too drunk to even remember anything. In one Sin City, Amsterdam, some visitors would even say that if you remember what you did that night, you did not truly experience Amsterdam’s nightlife.

Getting totally wasted during a stag party is not even something out of the ordinary. A lot of men even make such an occasion as their excuse to live the life of a bachelor once again. So, even in Europe, men must be aware of such establishments. They may have a good time then, but once their bill comes, they might be as happy.

It has been said that this happens quite often in Riga. With that in mind, it helps to be wary when one celebrates their last night of freedom in other locations as well.

Actually, stags can always find other stag night activities to enjoy during their last night of freedom. How about a more relaxing stag weekend fishing in Carrick on Shannon? Not all stags really wish for that wild night on the town.

As a matter of fact, nowadays, more stags enjoy other activities like go karting, paintballing, quading, clay shooting, or other such activities that do not really involve women. Having a good time does not always require alcohol and women. Stags just have to get the chance to do the things that they really want to have a good time.
