About a week or two ago I received an invitation in the mail from one of my super-close college guy friends who is getting married in Wisconsin the weekend of the 4th of July. I'd known about the wedding since December. This is one wedding that I definitely wouldn't want to miss because he was definitely one of my best friends at school (especially during senior year).
However, I'm trying to figure out what I should do. See, while the wedding is in Wisconsin, it is literally like $200 cheaper to fly through Chicago. My ex-bf, Chris, had friends in Chicago so we'd planned to fly into Chicago on the 2nd, visit his friends, drive to WI on the 3rd for the wedding, continue sight-seeing in Chicago on the 4th & 5th and then return home late Monday night. The plan was perfect! Until, we broke up of course. Towards the end of the relationship, when the end was in sight, I intentionally avoided any "lets purchase plane tickets" chatter because I knew the relationship was over, and thought it would be incredibly awkward to go through with buying the ticket knowing that we weren't going to make it.
So, now I'm facing a huge dilemma. I've found a great flight that departs Houston on Friday evening, arriving in Chicago at around 10 pm. And then returning to Houston on Sunday, the 4th prior to the holiday festivities. To me, it makes more sense for me to fly in on Friday night, the night before the wedding, so as not to miss any of the wedding on Saturday, especially in case the flight is delayed or the rental car company has a hard time finding my reservation. But, I'm just not certain that I'm up for making a 2.5 hour drive alone through two "foreign" states at 11 pm on a Friday night. Or, if I'm even comfortable reserving a hotel in Chicago and making that same drive alone on Saturday morning.
Basically, I need/want/would love some company!
So, here's my plea: (1) Is anyone interested in going to Chicago with me?!? While I can't pay for your ticket, I'd definitely cover your lodging, food, transportation, etc. (2) If you cannot come, do you have a friend in Chicago that'd be up for being my wedding date?
Seriously?
