It’s hard to believe, but next year will be my 10th anniversary, meaning it’s true what they say about time and its avian habits. On my big day, my mode of transport was my ’65 Skylark–I never even thought of hiring a limo or party bus. What did you drive on the happiest day of your life?
Our wedding and honeymoon car was my 1972 MGB Roadster.
I’ve still got the car, and our 20th anniversary is this September…
A 1984 S-10 Blazer 4WD. Gold with white center panels. Drove it over 100k and had to rebuild with an RV-2 cam and porting. I put a 80K more miles on that thing
After 21 years, 4 months, 11 days and 35 minutes of marriage, we divorced.
I drove away in my VR6 and burned rubber in first and second.
THAT was the happiest day of my life.
My wife and I rode from the church to the reception in a Bentley Arnage.
When my bride and I got married June 1, 1992, we had two kids: My broughamy ’78 Monarch and her ’91 Mazda-made Escort wagon. Neither was good for the long haul.
When my wife and I were married 32 years ago, she owned a ’72 Monte Carlo that wasn’t mechanically dependable, and my ’66 Impala convertible had a leaky roof, so we went with my white Mazda B1800, which became known as the “ice cream truck”.
My 95 850 t5. One of the few times that car was truly spotless. We had a cabin up in the mountains(hills really) that the brochure said was smooth driving. The car was lowered on HD bilsteins with ipd springs. Needless to say the muffler did make it to the cabin.
My ’97 Accord. Had a leaking head gasket at the time…had to put coolant in just to get out of the parking lot.
My wife and I got married at the town hall…
We eloped to Annapolis, MD (no waiting period in Maryland, dontcha know). Our ride from the hotel to the courthouse was a three-wheeled bicycle cab. Our “driver” felt compelled to show us the sites on the way, which made us a bit nervous as the courthouse was due to close for the day.
We walked back.
Still together going on 26 years.
My bright yellow 79 Camaro in 1979. The car is long gone, but the bride is still the same.
Married October 2013.
2013 Fleetwood Discovery 44′ motorhome, better than any limo with bathroom, directTV, and full size fridge stocked with beer, and assorted vegetables and meat/cheese.
They shuttled us to the hotel after the reception, where I drove home my 2009 Impala 2LT the next day.
2013 Ford Fiesta sedan as a rental on our honeymoon in Puerto Rico.
Our wedding car was my 9 year old ’63 Impala 230 six with 3 on the tree. I went to the airport to pick up my best man/brother the night before and some one stole my 8 track player by jambing open the vent window. Six months later we bought the ’63 LeSabre that we still have. About a year later my brother got married and I drove his ’56 Buick Super.
We were married in 2012 and my husband surprise me when he brings a Chrysler 300c stretch limousines. That was a amazing and unforgettable moment. Limo hire company “Lucky 8 Limousines” made it more classic by giving it such royal touch Red carpet, ribbons, refreshments, flower shower and more.
1957 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud.
My to-be inlaws offered to rent us a limo, but I have a visceral aversion to stretch limos… in my personal opinion, they are the embodiment of gauche. I wanted something a) classic, and b) something I’d never ridden in before. The Rolls ticked both of those boxes.
Here’s the one thing I can say about a 55-plus year old Rolls: that car had, without exception, the best air conditioning of any vehicle I have ever been in. It was a hot June day in Portland, and all afternoon it was on the verge of raining (though thankfully it didn’t!) It was HUMID. We were pretty sticky and miserable by the time we left our reception, but the driver cranked the AC; there were these huge vents behind the rear headrests that BLASTED cold air on us with the force of a jet engine. It was glorious, and definitely helped us relax after a hot, hectic day.
One more thing: if you want to get a lot of thumbs up and smiles from people on the street, definitely go for a classic Rolls!
Consider me officially jealous. That was exactly what I wanted, a series I or II Silver Cloud. A company in the city I used to live ran a white Silver Cloud as a wedding car and I thought I’d hire that out if I got married in town. As it happened, my lovely wife had her heart set on a beach wedding in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and we went with that–beautiful setting, great memories and a lot of fun–but no one who rented out anything other than the usual Lincoln Town Car limos in the area. It was that or a taxicab. Oh well…
