Four weddings and a free-for-all! Four dateless teenagers promised to be there for each other for better or worse. Now, more than 30 years later, that promise is put to the test in a series of high-strung, ill-fated and riotous weddings as this quirky quartet looks for love again and again. And again. "Always a Bridesmaid" is a rebel yell to laughter, love and the enduring power of friendship.

Active Older Adult Events

On September 19, you will head for the hills — or mountains to be exact — as you travel to Branson, stopping en route for an on-your-own lunch at Braum’s in Ozark, Missouri. Then you will drink and learn at St. James Winery, where you will enjoy snacks paired with their wines while learning about which wines go best with certain foods. (Soft drinks are available if you don’t drink wine).

Next, check into your hotel and freshen up before you head off to the Showboat Branson Belle for a show and dinner. September is a perfect time of year to be out on the lake and, as always, the food and show will be top shelf. Menu TBA.

After the boat ride, you’ll have time for a little shopping before returning making a short trip to see Legends in Concert. Tentative performers are Elvis, Blues Brothers, Elton John and Kenny Chesney. You will feel sure you are in the presence of the actual stars during this amazing show.

On the 20th, enjoy a hot breakfast at the hotel before checking out and driving over to the Top of the Rock. There will be golf carts for you and you will tour the beautiful grounds including a cave and waterfalls. This is always a group favorite! Lunch is included at Pickin’ Porch Deli, menu TBA. Before departing for home, you will get to see the gravity defying Grand Shanghai Circus. These dynamic artists will wow you with their dazzling performance. You will never see plates or a bicycle the same way again! On the way home you’ll have a surprise stop, where you can dine on your own and do a little shopping all in one spot.

Tour includes: staff escort roundtrip motorcoach, one night hotel with single-person room with luggage handling, three shows, and three meals-one breakfast, one lunch, and one dinner. Also includes two shopping stops. Driver’s gratuity is not included.

We will even make a surprise stop for a treat! You can have the opportunity to get off the bus to walk around and see the hearts. If you want to stay on the bus and just take in Kansas City, that is your choice too! Our motorcoach departs the Olathe Y 9 a.m. Thursday, June 15, and returns around 3 p.m. The tour includes round-trip motorcoach transportation, surprise treat and staff escort.

*Lunch will be on our own so pack a lunch or you can grab something to go from a restaurant around the heart sites. This way we have more time to explore Kansas City. You can bring a cooler with snacks and drinks. NO glass containers are allowed on the bus*
 
Price per person is $36 if paid by June 6; $42 thereafter. Driver's gratuity ($2-$3 suggested) is not included. No refunds possible after June 6.
