WarhorseIn what car did you drive away from your wedding?
We went to Las Vegas to get married, so we drove away from the Chappell of the Bells in our rented 1992 Lincoln Town Car.

Sunset_VaWow, some old cars mentioned in this thread!
1980 Ford Fiesta S, one of those econoboxes back then. I traded my Triumph Spitfire for it, as I got tired of always working on the Triumph, and my marraige included a step child.
Evidently, all rhe econoboxes of the 80's were disposable, as none are on the road today.
Side note: Our wedding costs totaled $600, but no lavish reception with booze and catered food.

grecoWe went to Toronto for a week. Took my wife's Triumph TR-7. It snowed, slushed, and stayed cold the whole time. We're still together 37 years later, but the TR-7 is gone. (Thank God).

BamaJeepsterA golf cart!
We did a 3 hour cruise on the Tennessee River - the wedding, sit down catered dinner and reception/dancing all done on the boat on the river. A golf cart met us at the dock and whisked us away to the hotel. We left the next morning for our honeymoon.

henryazMy wife and I got married at the courthouse in Rockville MD, then drove up Rockville Pike in my '56 Chevy wagon to the Ambrosia Restaurant for a nice Greek dinner. The Chevy was my daily driver at the time.

Jimbo54A 1 month old '79' Chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 pickup. A great truck that I traded in for a '91' Dodge Cummins 4x4. Also a great truck.
I hauled off a great wife in that truck and she still is.

btanchorsRolls Royce Silver Cloud (I think), late 50's or early 60's vintage. It was rented, but still pretty nice. Had a chauffer (sp!) and everything. The wife and I were pretty well toasted by the time we got to the reception.

chellim1We also had a chauffeur. The vehicle was a stretch Lincoln Town Car. The year was 1988.
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
