To want to get the bus to my own wedding...

[beanieb]

My mum is a chilled out person mostly but when I said me and the OH were thinking of getting the bus to our wedding (just up the road) my mum said I shouldn't.

She's making the dress and says it will get creased, but we're going for lunch afterwards and I think if it is going to get creased it will anyway... unless I walk

add me on FB Gemma Turner.. easier that way i tried putting them on profile page but again saying they are too big.

loads of Gemma turners, are you in Wales... it brings them up first. Describe your profile pic

no west midlands.. have a pic of me in wedding dress with 2 bridesmaids

or i can search you?

good idea.. how do u do that?

just click on the '!' on the far right of the post you want deleted then report why you want it deleted, though mumsnet is so big I am hoping anyne who stalks me might not even spot it

lol cant find you.. this is harder that i thought!

if you email me with ur email then i can do it that way [email protected]

ah - bugger - on laptop and not configured (is that the right word) email.

do you have CAT?

Also had wine - not fully here, maybe tomorrow, will add this to my watched threads to jog my memory!

yeah i have CAT

I have CAt - am trying to figure out how to do it, can you CAT me?

what a palarver (sp)

I got the bus to the church, but my dad owns a bus company, and I drive buses so would have seemed silly for me to go in a car.

FWIW, we get lots of wedding bookings for our coaches, you could hire a vintage coach, pricey, but really cool.

gemdangracie thanks, those photos are ace! I love the big photo with your families

You are welcome! we got there in the end! what did yoou think of the buses we hired?

Saw a wedding party at a nearby hotel on Friday and the bride and guests all came off an old London bus. I thought it was a great idea. I know that both venues (wedding and reception)had dodgy parking so they decided it would be easier if there was only parking for one vehicle.

How cool, I would be well impressed if I saw you hop on a bus in your wedding dress, I think people on the bus would be shocked but happy to make space for you and probably help you get the best seat

We hired a Routemaster for our wedding, to go from the church to the reception. My parents were not at all keen, but our guests loved it, and it was a really fun trip. I went in my dad's car to the church - I don't think that bit matters too much.

I loved the bus!
