I drank too much immediately prior to the wedding to feel like it would be a good idea to drive after. Not so much that I was drunk but enough that it would have been a bad idea. Plus we had the ceremony and reception in the same place so there really wasn't anywhere to go. But I wouldn't have gone that route.

We thought of doing this but in the end, we went with a limo. The time together + the champagne made it a good choice.

We left our reception in a Pedicab. Low budget, but it was a lot of fun. :)

Our two locations (confirmed church and unconfirmed but shortlisted venue) are about a half hour apart, so there would be value for us in such an arrangement. I don't see myself drinking...everyone probably says that.

Haha - no, those stayed at home in the closet. Adding to the joke, someone even threw a 75th anniversary napkin in to the mix!

My wife was a very good sport! :)

Can't show up the bride. And most of the nicer boots I've seen have been with the blue skirt.

No it would be plastic everything as well as a soda machine as the bar.
Styrofoam also is a permissible answer.

It was over 90 degrees when I got married three years ago. I was drinking quite a few beers before the marriage as it was outdoors and being in a tux was hot!

I wasn't cognizant of football until the Simms era. :D:-:


For our wedding we had a party bus. We had a lot of trekking to do so it worked out well enough. For the drive from the church to reception we had a fancy white car (old tyme Bentley, I think) which is a story in an of itself. :-:

We are aiming for late spring, and we will both have the advantage of vehicle cooling systems because the church we picked is very old-school (built 1836, IIRC) and it is a single room with no partitions. Forget a bridal prep room; not even a bridal prep closet. I brought up the lack of a prep room for both sides (mindset of event planning never shuts off) when we first saw the church and I was overruled.

I was a best man in a wedding in a historic, non-air conditioned building during a Maryland summer. Kilt and wool jacket.

And did you use a measuring cup to measure the sweat your later wringed from yourself?
