Boy banders, prom queens, '90s��hits and an In-N-Out Burger food truck -- AJ McLean���s wife, Rochelle, knows how to throw a party!

Having missed out on proms as a teen, due to traveling the world with the Backstreet Boys,��McLean got the surprise of his life when he turned up to The Mark in Los Angeles, California, for a star-studded prom party on Saturday.

���My beautiful wife, who���s been planning this for three years,��� he said while thanking friends and family during a speech. ���How I didn���t find out was honestly beyond me. I honestly thought I was going to The Magic Castle! This is so surreal.���

The fun bash was attended by McLean���s bandmates, Nick Carter and Brian Littrell, 98 Degrees��heartthrob Jeff Timmons and his gorgeous wife, Amanda, actress Carrie Keagan, O-Town's Erik Michael-Estrada��and *NSYNC���s Lance Bass and his husband, Michael Turchin.

Celebrating @aj_mclean���s 40th prom style! Love you brother.

After McLean got emotional during his speech, Littrell rushed in to honor his bandmate of nearly 25 years.

���Welcome to the club,��� said Littrell, who attended the party with his wife, Leighanne. ���This guy has the biggest heart of anyone I know. He has the biggest heart, he loves the most, he hurts the most, he is passionate the most.���

Carter then ran up, adorably wrapping his arm around the dad of two before gushing about their friendship. ���I���ve loved you since the moment I met you,��� Carter said. ���That���s really weird, right? Ever since you burnt my comic book when I was a teenager... It doesn't matter because, honestly, you���re one of my favorite people on this planet, I love you so much. You���re my brother and I wouldn���t miss this for the world.

The boys, who resume their Larger Than Life residency at Planet Hollywood's AXIS Theater on Jan 31.,��then led the crowd in singing, ���Happy Birthday.���

Partygoers enjoyed burgers, danced to '90s��hits like��Montell Jordan���s ���This Is How We Do It��� and pulled their best prom poses in��a photo booth, where cast members from Carter and wife Lauren���s Dead 7 film reunited for a fun pic.

Happy Birthday @aj_mclean #funtimes #dead7reunion

Words cannot even explain how much I love this woman. What you do for me daily is already a blessing. An amazing wife and my best friend. An amazing mother to two beautiful kids. But what you did for me last night will go down in history as the most memorable and unforgettable bday party I���ve ever had in my life. Knowing I never had a prom and than bringing me back in time to give me that experience was simply amazing. Gathering all my closest friends and family under one roof to celebrate with me was so sick. All the hard work that you put into this and the time showed down to the last detail ! I love you my prom queen! Your my favorite person in the world and you really out did yourself with this one. Here���s to many more and a lifetime with you baby. Thank you @rochelle_deanna for giving me the best prom ever. #bestpartyever #bestwifeyever #promkingandqueen #ilovetheshitoutofyou

And, naturally, McLean was crowned prom king before sharing a celebratory dance with his beautiful prom queen, Rochelle, to Soul for Real���s ���Candy Rain."

Celebrations continued for McLean on Monday as he marked nine years��with Rochelle, returning to the same spot where the��couple enjoyed their first date, accompanied by their adorable daughters, 5-year-old��Ava��and 9-month-old Lyric.

Who would of thought that almost 9 years ago i took my now wife on our first to Camacho���s the restaurant behind us and it was the best worst first date but here we are almost 9 years later married with the most gorgeous kids and family. I love my girls so had to share.
