     do i need a limo  

My Ceremony and reception are at the same location, so I dont need transportation from the ceremony to the reception, however I do need to get the Groom and Groomsmen, myself, the Bridesmaids and my parents to the ceremony. I dont really want to spend a lot of money for a 20 min ride, and I only have 2 bridesmaids and 2 groomsmen, does anyone have any ideas on how to get everyone there, or how to work a limo so its the cheapest? So far all the limo companies are suggesting a 3 hr rental and they will take the guys to the hall, then come back and take the girls and parents (this will take about an hour so it seems silly to pay for 3)... I am open to all ideas, something unique and fun would be great... or do you think I should just bite the bullet and shell it out for a limo? Is it worth it?

Dear Bridezilla,

You will find that all limo transport companies will require a 3 hour minimum. I suggest that you drive to the ceremony site or catch a ride with someone and carry your dress along and get dressed on site.

What about when you leave? Are you doing any departure drama such as bubbles, sparkles, etc.? If so it is very nice to have a car waiting for you.

Hello. Yes, most companies will require minimum 3 hours unless your wedding is on a weekday (probably unlikely)

Furthermore, if your wedding is in the spring, you will have even more difficulty due to PROMS elevate the minimums to 4 to 6 hours.

The alternative would to hire "Executive Sedans" -- companies are more flexible on these vehicles because they are typically used for airport work (during the week).

Good luck and congratulations.
