When my brother got engaged we naturally had a rather large and joyous celebration where we all enjoyed much revelry and indulgence. However, after the obligatory hangover I sat with my brother and started to actually plan the practical element of the ceremony. My brother was getting married in Sidcup and while we sat there we decided that his bride to be could settle the location and decoration while we would sort out the transport. After heading to the pub however the conversation raised some interesting ideas for wedding car hire.
One of the first considerations for wedding car hire is naturally the classical and elegant vintage car. There are wealth of companies around Sidcup that offered these types of services, with vehicles such as nineteen thirties Rolls Royce, Bentleys and Jaguars. Understandably we weighed the benefits of these vehicles, firstly they would give the right impression on arrival to the church and we were sure the bride to be would also be happy with choice. However after a little research we found there were far more services in the Sidcup area that offered more original choices.
One of these original choices was a VW Beetle or a Morris Minor. For those not duly bothered about size these are perfect offering a charm that is harder to find with larger cars. While they may not be luxurious they are appealing and quaint. For instance what could be cuter than turning up to the church in a Volkswagen Beetle decorated in the Herbie colours? The lovable style and design of this car is timeless and while it may not have the elegance of a Rolls Royce, it is just as much of a classic.
Size for some people however may be an issue, making larger cars a very real possibility. Within Sidcup there are now companies that are offering car hire services with American classics like the Cadillac and Buick. These gas guzzlers may not be suitable for the more environmentally conscious but for those who want a wedding with panache and style they can be a great idea; although bright pink may be a little over the top.
In recent years military vehicles have become popular with some couples. However you may have to travel further than Sidcup to find one, but it can be worth it. The Hummer is always a popular choice although in the last few years’ tanks and armoured personnel carriers have also become available for wedding hire purposes.
This however is when the conversation got a little bit ridiculous. After further research we found a company that specialised in car hire of vehicles from various television programmes and films. This is mine and my brother’s area of expertise so we spent a great deal of time discussing this point. We wondered if his bride to be would accept the choice of the A Team van, as far as we were concerned it was a logical choice, large enough to carry everyone in comfort to and from the church, sense however, held out. Even so we felt that a car like the DeLorean from Back to the Future could be the ideal choice, while it would not ensure time travel it would certainly fit in with the proposed themed wedding.
At this point however we were kidding ourselves, there was no way that we would be able to hire any of these more outlandish car choices. The bride to be, even if she has delegated the decision to the groom still holds ultimate sway and hence, if we were to choose anything it would have to be a classic and elegant car hire choice.
