Bill Murray Tells Bachelor Party How to Know Who You Should Marry

A young American’s bachelor party got the unexpected gift of sage advice from a last-minute guest: deadpan comic actor Bill Murray.

Murray, who lives in Charleston, South Carolina, was dining with friends in the city over the weekend when a member of a separate group at the restaurant spontaneously invited the award-winning actor to say something to the soon-to-be groom.

After first declining, a local newspaper reported, Murray — star of films such as “Caddyshack” and “Lost in Translation” — obliged with some smiles for the groom, whom he did not know.

After some laughs from the crowd of about 20 young men from Boston, Murray, a twice-married father of six, was asked how men can know they are with the right partner.
