Closing Down Bourbon

By Doug Dugless

If you can digest words with your eyes, check this out. It's a "Reality Book" about a destination wedding in New Orleans, or more accurately, a bunch of the groom's crazy friends who meet there for it. It's like book about all your friends and the stupid stuff they do when no one else is looking. And strangely, it's a book for guys about a wedding. It might sound weird - but it's awesome. If your side doesn't hurt by the end of it, you can't read, you have no sense of humor and you cannot relate to the human experience on any level.This is a true story of sometimes brilliant, mostly respectable, always goofy, thirty-something guys whose friendship is as strong as family. The mutual love of a good time makes for a Hangover-style weekend when one of the friends, Robbie, has a destination wedding in New Orleans. The police officer gets in a fight, the bride loses her voice, the groom's sister gets engaged (without knowing it), the best man stays an extra night to be with the wedding planner and another friend's wedding a month earlier has an unexpected effect on the entire weekend. And that's just a start...The wedding is in the midst of one of the worst recessions in U.S. history. Robbie and his fianc?, Megan, have no connection to the city besides a love of Harry Connick, Jr. who told them, as audience members at a concert, that the best way to help the post-Katrina recovery was to travel to New Orleans and spend money. This was the impetus to coax friends and family from far and wide to head to The Big Easy for their wedding. Their loyal group of friends reunite, intent on having fun with a vengeance! But the simple goal of having a great time is challenged, with new friends and outsiders not always understanding the bonds between the groom and his men.With all the brain candy of reality TV, this takes non-fiction to a new level. You will love and potentially loathe these real people who navigate awesome and awkward situations in search of a laugh, a drink and eventually, a good night's sleep.
