Get your sisters fiance drunk so you can show your sister how bad he is? Given that there is apparently plenty of evidence of this persons bad behavior, i doubt this will work and I doubt the OPs sister will appreciate this. | |

He will probably celebrate with a few close friends after the event. | |

Recently my 28-year-old son was invited to a bachelor's party. Before painting the town red, so to speak, their mobiles and cell phones were collected and placed in a secure safe, not sure, or with the driver of the coach (they were a large group). So another reason why waiting until the stag party wouldn't work | |

| Sep 20, 2017 at 5:30 | comment | added | English Student | I appreciate your honesty and can only reference our colleague @anongoodnurse's famous question at English.SE to say 'you are a better man than I' -- "The first angle I would try would be a postponment." This is exactly what I advised my own (not cousin) sister when she had similarly been ready to marry an unknown person 3 months after meeting -- he was deep in debt & his desperation for a quick wedding rang my sister's alarm bells, so she backed out and never regretted it! Thank you @ apaul34208, you lead by example here. | |
