Wedding – pre-events – Bachelor(ette) parties

May 24 was a huge day.  However, first the build-up.

Ryan was the first to get into town for the wedding.  He came in the Sunday before, so Zach and I got to hang out with him for a few days before things got crazy.  Needless to say much ESPN insued.

Midweek, the rest of the guys came in along with my sister.  We had a bit of time to hang out, but the main events midweek were the bachelor and bachelorette parties.  My party started a bit earlier than anticipated because the champions league final was on at 1:30.  The Man U – Chelsea match was the first all English Euro final in like 50 years and was a one game recap of the league battle between the two teams.  Though Chelsea probably played better, my Red Devils prevailed in penalty kicks and got their second trophy of the campaign.

After that, we all got dressed and the girls split from the guys.  Event one on our agenda was dinner at Spaghetti Warehouse.  Zach had somehow reserved the banquet room, though we didn’t have nearly enough people to meet the minimum.  Still it was nice to have our own room to sit around and tell old stories.  After a relatively quick dinner, we moved on to stop two, the Bricktown Brewery.  There we drank like half a keg along bit of liquor, while playing poker.  When they closed at a shockingly early 11pm, we went to my favorite bar, Maker’s Cigar Lounge.  I finished off my complete drunkenness and smoked a cigar.  On the whole, it was a fantastic night and I met everyone’s expectation for sloppiness.

The more surprising part of the night was how messed up the girls got Lisa.  Through a similar dinner and bars pattern, Kate got together like 12 girls to send Lisa off in style.  Apparently Marty also had a few drinks and let loose the family secrets.  Lisa then spent the end of the night trying to call me and being foiled by everyone under the sea.  When I finally got home at 3am – after a late night drunken IHOP run – we stumbled into each others arms and went very happily to sleep.
