The Flynn-Friedman Wedding Countdown!

Are you peeing with excitement? Do you just have to pee? We're here to help guide you through our wedding weekend in Chicago.

Everyone loves weddings.

Ours will be similar to other weddings that you've attended.

This is our venue - it's called River Roast because it's right on the Chicago River and, I dunno, they probably hold celebrity roasts there. Don't let that blue sky fool you - it's gonna be chilly come November.

There will be free booze!

Details of where and when you can get this booze will be sent with your main invitation. Let's just say that if you get in on Friday night, you'll be rewarded for your effort.

We'll feed you, too!

Details about happy meals will be sent with your main invitation. Let's just say that if you stay Sunday morning, we'll make it worth your while.

There will be music!

And tons of dancing...

...no seriously, like - a lot of dancing.

And there will be watching-other-people-dance circles!

Katie's brother Tom needs new moves, probably.

And he and Sean will NOT be wearing white, SO HELP ME GOD.

Katie will be the center of attention!

And Mike will be, kind of, too.

Katie and her dad will have a few teary moments.

I cry just looking at these eyebrows so it's a low bar.

You're required to be extra nice to the Maids of Honor.

These are Mike's sisters Liz and Rebecca. They won't be wearing helmets on the day of, probably.

And take time to get to know these handsome Best Men.

These are Katie's brothers Tom and Dan. You're going to have to act like their toast was really funny.

Are you excited to come now?

Cool! So how should you get there?

You'll probably fly in.

Take your F-18 (or other plane) to Chicago O'Hare or Chicago Midway.

Conveniently, you can take a train from either airport to downtown.

The CTA Blue Line provides service directly to and from O’Hare Airport.

The CTA Orange Line provides service directly to and from Midway Airport.

You can buy a CTA Transit Card or a 1-day, 3-day or 7-day unlimited ride pass using cash (machines do not give change) or credit/debit cards at both airport train stations. You can also buy your fares in advance if you order online.

You could also take a taxi if you're feeling fancy.

You should even have some time to sightsee.

Mike's favorite pizza is Lou Malnati's and his favorite hot dogs are all hot dogs, anywhere.

The Flynn Family's favorite breakfast place is Manny's Deli and Katie and her mom love Garrett's Popcorn.

The internet also has plenty of suggestions if those don't do it for you.

Dress up a little...

...or a lot.

Meanwhile, we have to gently break the news that these guys can't bring their intended dates...

OK...you two can come. Just dress it up a tad. At least put some socks on.

JK, Adam can come. But that white uniform CANNOT or I WILL JUST LOSE IT.

We can't wait to see you November 15th!
