Summary
If anyone had told Jared Padalecki that his bachelor party would start out with big red balls and end on a road trip with Keanu Reeves, he would have thought they were insane, but that’s exactly what happened, more or less, in a nutshell. Serves him right for getting freakin’-frostbitten-they-were-so-cold feet on the eve of his wedding rehearsal. He was supposed to be marrying Gen; Genevieve Cortese, that is. His fiancée. But all he could do was obsess about Jen; Jensen Ackles, that is. Best friend. Co-star. Dude. Something-that-couldn’t-possibly-be-love of his life. Except Jensen was happy, and Jensen was marrying Danneel in a few months, and Jensen wasn’t a fool like Jared was, picking now of all times to fixate on the past, to relive all those memories of them making out, in glorious detail, even if they had been drunk at the time. Or times, rather. There had been a lot of times. It just freaking figured that at some point during the three days before the wedding, between the big red balls and the Keanu Reeves Road Trip, that Jared lost Jensen. Like literally. Now suddenly the clock was ticking, he had a best friend to find, a wedding to get to and get through, and a goddamn mystery to solve in the midst of all the madness. Saying ‘I do’ should never be this complicated. Or this easy. Wedded bliss? He so did not sign up for this!

Author’s Notes & Acknowledgements
I feel like I should apologize for the silliness contained within this fic, but after a little soul-searching, I find myself completely unrepentant. This fic was inspired by The Hangover. I didn’t see the movie until just a couple of months ago, and boy, did I love it! Of course my brain changed it up into a J2 fic as I was watching it, and I hoped Bradley Cooper would end up with Justin Bartha (who plays the groom), but that may be because my brain always seems to end up in slashy places since I started watching Supernatural. Anyway, I was playing with this idea for a long time and so when the
spn_cinema challenge came along, I jumped at the chance to finally write it. I hope you like what I did with it! FYI, this is told from Jared's POV to make up for the fact that my BB is told exclusively from Jensen's.
A note about the soundtrack. I don't actually do soundtracks for my shorter fics, but I couldn't resist here, what with Vegas having iconic ties to Elvis and the old world feel of it all made me include some of the classics you see above. I've included the YouTube links for each song, because I'm too technically challenged to create fancy playlists. I had a blast picking the music, and when you get to the part with True Blue (and you'll know it when you get to it), take a minute and check out the video (link above). It'll bring the fic to life, and hopefully the ridiculous mental images it and the fic incite will put a smile on your face.
Comments = Love!

Finally,

I also have to thank her for reminding me to include Katy Perry's Waking up in Vegas and Elvis' A Little Less Conversation in the soundtrack.
