    Our budget is tight and we need to cut out some things, a limo would be fine with me.

    I will  be at my parents' house the morning of the wedding and we'll be going from there.  After the ceremony ends the reception will be held about 15 minutes or so away.

    At first I thought one of those little towncars would be a good idea.  Then I saw a couple and they got bad reviews. Of course they're only two.  I've also been advised to rent a car but for various reasons that will not work out.

    I can accept if I have to take a regular cab or a person's car on the way to the church (though I'd rather have a nicer car for me), it's more: what do my FH and I do when we run out of the church and everyone is cheering?

    we could get a cab but i'm thinking: isn't that embarassing? some crappy cab? plus it would be awkward b/c everyone would be waiting for it. then again they might also be understanding since the place is only 15 minutes away from the church.

    one of the guests could give us a ride but i'm assuming we'll want to be alone after just getting married!

    Ideas???

    I would either rent a really cool car, like a convertible or you or your FIs favorite car OR I would get a town car or a rolls royce to drive you. May I ask why you will not be able to rent a car? If it's because you are not of the right age, you can just have your parents rent it for you and you or your FI will drive it.

    Is there a reason you guys can't drive yourselves to the reception?  I would agree, I wouldn't really want to climb into a cab after I run out of my wedding ceremony.

    i totally forgot we're staying at the church to take photos so we're not running out into a car in front of everyone anyway. we'll be there and everyone is going to the reception for the cocktail hour. 

    so i guess we can take some time alone for a few minutes while they set up and then come back. (it's a huge university campus where we're taking photos).

    when it's done we can go with someone in the bridal party, when the high has let down enough so we can be with other people (we'll have been with them anyway with the photos).

    One of my daughter's friend has a nice Mercedez, not new but still nice. He is driving all the girls back and forth from my home and church. After the cermony, we will drive our own car. Do you have any friends with nice car that will be willing to drive you or let you borrow it??

    Like the previous bees said, i would rent a nice car or borrow a friend/relatives car! That's the least expensive way to go!
