Tryin' To Catch Me Ridin' Dirty

Another highly essential part of weddings along with proms,homecoming dances and (for some) Quinces and Sweet 16's : the limousine. To ride in style and to feel like a VIP for a day with the oohs and ahhs from your guests when you arrive and depart in your limo. The unfortunate reality is that with rising gas prices, some are opting out of stretch limousines or limousines all together and are opting for antique cars, sedans and some even choose the mini-bus or use their own car. Besides that and the budget factor, you also want to pick a company and chauffeur with a good,stable record. When choosing the transportation, you want to not only pick out the appropriate mode of transportation for yourself or anyone else accompanying but you for the occasion as well.


I highly doubt that Barbie would be caught dead riding in this limo for her wedding.

Antique luxury cars and limos are one of the latest wedding trends for couples to set themselves apart from the rest. By antique I mean something like a 1937 Rolls Royce Phantom III or a 1976 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow.

This is nowhere close to antique, but it's begging for an overhaul!

A little opulence is nice, but it is best to keep it clean, classy and elegant for weddings. No garish colors, rims or tires. Leave that for the rock stars and the high school age functions.

Good for a monster truck show, but not for a wedding.

Some couples opt for the classic traditional route by riding in one of their own cars together and decorating it, or the more romantic route: the horse drawn carriage

Forget horse and carriage, it's more like horse and scrap heap.

Moral of the story: If you want to pick out a good ride for your wedding, consider the safety and the reputation and something that won't draw attention in a bad way.
