For weeks, Joey DiJulio received emails detailing plans for a Philadelphia-based bachelor party. The email thread promised a laid-back weekend featuring several bars, maybe a casino, and of course, plenty of March Madness viewing. The only problem for DiJulio, who lives in Washington, was that he had never been to Philadelphia — or met the groom or any of the groom's friends.
It turns out DiJulio's last name is similar to that of a friend of groom Jeff Minetti. But when DiJulio, 31, got in touch with the group to explain the mix-up, they invited him out for the weekend, anyway.
"This is the city of brotherly love," Minetti told The Associated Press. "Any and all are welcome."
DiJulio told his story online and quickly raised enough money to cover the trip; any more cash he brings in, he says he'll put toward his new friend Minetti's honeymoon.
It's Bachelor Party meets Wedding Crashers.
Hilarity and hi-jinks ensue.
