My wife turned up in a jag, which no one ever saw and would have been a waste of money if we'd paid for it. It looked good in the pictures.
We left in one of my cars, which I'd hope would have ticked the "hmmmm nice choice sir" box, though frankly as I'd just married a stripper I didn't much care either way.
O/T but when you sign the register have a look for the small print. If they haven't added it they are they still mis-selling marriage without the "BTW you've just lost half your house" legal issues being mentioned. If only you could claim money back after being mis-sold something.
Never mind, all water under the bridge now.
I mean "money", not "water".
Also I mean "stolen" instead of "under" and "by a w
e in state sponsored financial rape which somehow they don't have to tell you about when they charge you for the service" instead of "the bridge".
Have a nice day though, it's always good to have a book of quality photos of a nice car and a happy couple which you can turn in to a Voodoo shrine of revenge, hatred and bitterness while she ponces off round the world spending half a house worth of money.
Getting slightly further off topic - if there are any lawyers out there who fancy some pro bono work on the mis-selling of marriages (even if it's just to get the registrar's fee back) then I'm happy for you to get as much publicity as you want off the back of my case.
Or any shrinks want the case? I could use a shrink.

We had a bit of a journey between venues, so told all the guests to go to the evening venue and we'd ship them all around. Mrs R also stopped at the evening venue the night before so needed to get her to the 'day do' (obviously).
We considered loads of things from Range Rovers to Lambos, but ended up with just one vehicle that did the whole job lot for us. As we got married on the moors in a quaint little venue it was the perfect vehicle.
Used a 1948 Bristol Coach http://www.yesteryearcars.co.uk/www.yesteryearcars...
Guests loved it too. If you have to ship loads of them I'd be doing this. Think it was only about £450 too

I managed to get our wedding car for free! My father in law was running a small business and he had a small fleet of company cars, most from the same garage. I got him to ask him if could manage to sort out some sort of freebie/demo for the wedding car which he managed. The garage where more than happy as they saw it as good publicity! Anyway you could try that? It was an Audi S4 convertable by the way.

I'd go for something quick but limo like - maybe a Jag XJR, Merc S63/E63 - something like that...
Used my XJR for my brother and her dads S class for the bride to the venue, and then the XJR for the ride home the next day. It was kind of nice that they where our own cars.Mate is planning on getting married soon, we are planning to use the XJ6 for the bride/bridesmaids and the groom will be roaring up in the Stag. They are both white so should work quite well.
Did see a black diesel 1 series cabrio parked outside a church once, all bedecked with ribbons etc. I thought that was an odd choice but each to their own!

While they were still students (and therefore skint) some friends of mine used 3 classic minis in red, white and blue as their wedding cars. The front passenger seat in each was removed to give more legroom in the back. I thought it was pretty cool at the time, certainly 100x better than a Beauford faux vintage effort...
In 2007 when we got married I had a fleet of silver cars. S80s for me, the best man and my folks my Mother in law and Sister in Law. A Silver A8 for the future Mrs Wildcat45 and a silver Mercedes mini bus for the rellies who would have been offended if they'd not had transport.
We walked to the venue from the church...A short stroll across a park incorporatng photos.
And for our honeymoon. A Jewish Racing Gold MGF bought for the occasion.
