I think you're right. Mark and I (Mark being the first husband) staunchly refused any of those, and we got a LOT of hassles about it. Given that we were polyamorous lapsed neopagans at the time, you can imagine the sort of disbelieving responses we got from people at the time, but neither of us wanted a drunken debauch in front of total strangers the day before we vowed to try to make our lives together.
Imagine that.
I go to piano bars to sing a lot, and we get a lot of bachelorette parties there. (Don't even try to think about heterosexual privilege, het women, bars noted for their primarily gay male audiences, and wanton behavior -- it'll just make your head hurt.)
And yes, most of the time, geeks are willing to buck those trends, which is why I love them.
