I have the best bridesmaids ever!!

So I got this ransom note (Page 1, Page 2) a couple weeks ago. It's gotta be for my bachelortte party, right? So I show it to my fiance and mom and they're both like, you should pack a bag and keep it in your trunk. So I do. Yesterday, I went up to my mom's house to work on a wedding project. All of a sudden, my friend Jen (my matron of honor) walks into the house, hands me this crazy t-shirt, tells me to get changed and off we go. I grab my bag out of the trunk and my mom drives us somewhere - turns out to be the train station. We get on and head to downtown Chicago! Woo-hoo! :D So, I guess Jen and I get in a little early, so we head over to State Street and do some shopping at Old Navy (got the cutest PJs for the honeymoon) and then across the street to Marshall Field's while we wait for...something. I have no idea what's going on. We end up going back downstairs to the first floor of Field's and over to their Nail Bar! Jen & I get there first and we're getting manicures! Yay!! Cindy (the one who sent the ransom note and planned the whole thing) then shows up and I know we're waiting for a fourth person. I figure it's probably her sister. But no! It's my friend Angel who is supposed to be in MINNESOTA and called me that morning saying she was going into work and needed to know the day of the rehearsal dinner so she could put in for it off. I was SO suprised! It was so great. :D

So, the four of us get manicures and then head over to the hotel, which turns out to be the Hyatt. Very nice, very unique. Not the usual hotel rooms. But before Jen and I went up to the room, we got some dinner from the pizza place in the hotel. Cindy and Angel went up to the room to do...something..... Anyway, we get up to the room and they're decorating it by putting up pics of all my "boys" everywhere! There was Michael (of course), David Hewlett, David Duchovny, Jason Behr, Gale Harold, Freddie Prinze Jr, Hugh Laurie, Rob Thomas, Train and Nick Lachey! It was sooooooo awesome. So we eat and then open these goody bags my mom had given Jen. I pull out all this stuff that says "Prom 2006" on it. Now, I never went to my high school prom, and it's been the one thing I've always wished I'd done. So, I get all excited, cos it turns out we're going to The Awesome 80s Prom!! It's this interactive bar/show thing on Weed Street that's the prom for the 1989 Class of Wanaget High (get it?). hehe. BUT it gets even better. I get told to cover my eyes and when I open them, Cindy has this awesomely bad 80s peach prom dress! It was fabulous!! So I had to wear that and CIndy and Angel dressed up, too. Complete with blue eye shadow! Before we left, Cindy's sister, her friend Andrea and her sister's friend Sharon showed up to go out with us. Those girls are crazy! I love them. :D So, I also had a lovely bachelorette tiara and Miss Bachelorette sash.
The show was amazing! It's not really a show. Just a bar, with the actor's in character as all the fabulous 80s movie characters - I danced with "Dickie." He was fabulous. It was the greatest time ever!! I cannot tell you!

Then we went back to the hotel where we broke into the Fabulous Chocolate Mousse Cake from the Cheesecake Factory. Best Cake Ever! Changed back into normal clothes and then we went out to a couple bars. It was good. Had some drinks, did some dancing. Didn't really get drunk, but that's OK cos I still have this cold. But it was seriously so much fun! I love my friends!!
