During a trip to the supermarket I saw the cashier raise her eyebrow at the amount of Champagne I was buying so I explained what I did for a living. She began excitedly telling me that her sister was getting married soon and she would need a car, of course the next question was
‘How much do you charge?’
When I told her £249, she made a noise like chicken being strangled. I gathered that my services would not be required.
‘Wedding cars are a waste of money’ She exclaimed.
For a moment I wanted to justify my prices but then I reconsidered. If the bride to be was anything like her sister then that kind of custom I could do without. Besides, there are much more affordable ways to travel.
Cashiers sister here’s some suggestions for you…
Why not get your Dad to drive you. While he’s finding a space to park because all the guests have taken them, you can stand there looking pretty until he’s good and ready to give you away.
Why not take public transport? What could be more romantic than standing at the bus stop and then hopping on to the 680. It stops right outside the registry office too and there’s plenty of space for your dress. Just ignore the spotty teenagers brawling on the back seat and the crazy woman who wants to tell you her life story; it’s all part of the fun.
Taxis are another great option, they’re always thoughtfully driven by courteous drivers and always punctual, I have never known a taxi to be late or not arrive, well maybe once or twice but it’s okay because they can always send another if the one you booked doesn’t show. Don’t you just love that fresh smell of chicken tikka and aftershave with a little bit of sick.
It’s true; Wedding Cars are a waste of money, along with diamond bracelets, 5 star hotels, vintage wine, romantic meals for two and the terrific wedding dress that you’ll only wear once.
Here’s to wasting money!
