This, he thinks, has to be a decent bachelorette party.
Maybe not for the average bride, maybe other people out there want strippers and sashes that read BRIDE-TO-BE and phallic decorations, but Peggy had made it very clear to John that she wanted none of that.
So he'd rented out a bar. An entire bar. The guest list isn't particularly extensive, they don't need the entire bar, but he'd seen no reason not to do it anyway. It means they have the entire place to themselves, they can control the music, and the bartender has only them to serve. And John has paid a flat fee for the bartender and the serving staff, plus given them a significant tip, so they're attending the party perfectly.
The bar is nice, with comfortable chairs and several pool tables, as well as a well stocked jukebox that he thinks has just about anything someone might think to play. Maybe not Dutch, she probably knows songs none of them have ever heard before, but there's probably plenty on the jukebox she'll still enjoy.
There are appetizers, lots of them, covering just about any option a person could want. The same goes for alcohol.
All in all, for someone not all that inclined toward attending parties, he thinks he's done a fairly good job capturing something Peggy will enjoy. And that's the point of tonight, giving her a party to celebrate her future and everything that's to come with people she enjoys spending time with.

Maybe that was a thing somewhere else but she can't see Peggy especially marrying someone she disliked.
"Let's hope it lasts. When I say that, I have no doubt they're love with last but it'd be nice if this city let them alone."

He nods, though, when Dutch talks about the city. Because it's the thing they really have no control over, no matter what they do. They can't stop this place from taking them, from giving them memories they'd never had before, maybe never wanted.
"I hope so, too," he says.

"Hope and pray, if that's your thing," she adds. "It's not mine but I know some people like it."
