With your bruise so bright, won’t you be my groom tonight?
William Watson was left with nearly 50 contusions just days before his wedding after joining in some reindeer games.
The Brit was surprised with a brutal yet festive game during his bachelor party earlier this month as he was pelted with frozen paintballs while running around the snow in a skimpy Rudolph mankini.
“It was terrifying, pretty scary,” Watson told Kennedy News.
Watson was taken to a paintball range where 20 of his closest male friends and family told him to strip down, leaving him with only a protective helmet, boots and the skimpy Rudolph garment to wear.
“They just put me in the mankini and told me to run,” the 31-year-old remembered.
Even his dad partook in the frozen fun, which involved the men taking turns firing at him as he ran around in the snow almost entirely naked. Watson dodged as many pellets as he could but still got nailed nearly 50 times in the 36 seconds he scampered about.
“I don’t think the temperature got over 0 Celsius all day. It was so cold,” Watson recounted. “Half of the paintballs didn’t even explode.”
The men then went on to warm up with some booze at a local pub.
The groom-to-be was scheduled to wed his fiancée Charlotte Goode, 32, just a few days later, but the painful reminders of the stag party were still there.
“I got hit about 40 to 50 times. I am covered in bruises,” he said.
He may not have shouted in glee, but that trip will go down in history.
