Finding Limo

by SHERYLL CROSS

For a fairytale wedding, a limo adds enchantment to the event. A classic car stretch limo is the widely held choice for it has more than enough room not only for the bride but also for her extravagant bridal gown. Though it would still depend on the preference of the couple whether they get a wedding limo or not. If the couple is really passionate about convertibles, motorcycles, or race cars, or bicycles and would like showing in or exiting their nuptials on said forms of transportation---by all means do so. Whatever suits your fancy, it is your wedding day. (Though personally, I think this is the right time to splurge, so why not enjoy a limo ride?)

But remember not to go overboard. Hiring super stretch limo knowing that the way to the ceremony would be narrow is disastrous. If nature permits, the journey to the ceremony must be through calm, quiet surroundings allowing the bride to reflect and to relax. Also, try to estimate the distance between the ceremony and the reception. Note that most limousine services charge per hour. If it would be impractical to get a limo for a 10-minute drive to the reception, then don��t.

After the reception, most couple would go straight to the location where they��ll be spending their honeymoon. Some spend it in a different city, or country or even continent. Unlike the hourly rate stated above, airport limo with fixed route does not charge on an hourly basis. An example would be the NYC airport limousine service from Kennedy airport to NYC. The rate starts at about $60---said amount would depend on the vehicle��s model and capacity---not the hour of NYC limo usage.

Whatever you decide to do, it will be perfect for you and your wedding. Do not sweat things so much. You will still love your wedding if something goes wrong and when you look back, they won��t even have mattered.

Now let us touch the subject of prom night---arguably the most anticipated event for teens everywhere. Gorgeous dress---check, attractive date---check, boisterous gal pals---check and safe prom limo service---ummm��still canvassing? (Yes, this is needed.) Limo is not just for head-turning arrival but also for a safety departure. An article released by NLA (National Limousine Association) president says that a trained professional chauffer is clearly the best choice. I agree. Raging teen hormones prom excitement booze �C parents = hazard. Even if you omit the booze and prom excitement from the equation, same would still prove risky. Prom limo service is not cheap. True. But one can always split the tab among friends. Or canvass, you can find anything for a cheaper price if you shop around. Though don��t be too stingy. There are limo services that provide old, rusting vehicles and ill-mannered, badly dressed chauffeurs. I call them Cheap O�� Limo. They are everywhere, so beware.

Again, I will close this part with the same advice. Things do not always go according to plan (being under the weather, having flat tire, no corsage). If you hit a little speed bump, don��t let it ruin the whole night. Move on. This is the time to enjoy the moment with your friends.
