Where did Stag Parties come from?

 I was talking to a friend about weddings and the question came up, why do guys have Stag parties. With that, I did a bit of digging around and this is what I found out.

This is the male equivalent of the Bridal Shower. Roman Empire soldiers would feast with the Groom the night before his wedding to say goodbye to his irresponsible days of bachelorhood, and to renew their vows of allegiance to their friendships.
