Brides

There are numerous transport options for a bride and groom on their big day. They can live the dream by going the horse and carriage mode, the original taxi cab... Or they can simply take off their shoes and walk across the road to a beach ceremony, as my son and his wife did in May. That's the beauty of Palm Cove, Far North Queensland.

Years ago on a Saturday afternoon I collected a bride in full regalia with her father and a bridesmaid. She was late, of course, but with the meter ticking who cares. They were headed to a park on the cliffs at South Bondi for a windswept ceremony thanks to blustery summer breeze.

Late last night I carried a bride, sans husband, home from the wedding reception in Centennial Park. My booking was for guests with a young baby. After some mucking around I got them loaded and strapped in only to spot the bride and groom wandering off into the dark, looking for a cab. We took the bride.

She sat up front, happy and tired and chatted with her friends. The bloke was absolutely stoked when I found his lost cuff link, a family heirloom, in the grass outside the restaurant. This plus setting up the baby seat for them landed me a twenty buck tip. Sweet.

And it was pretty strange having a brand new bride sitting next to me, shimmering in a strapless white gown and updating her Facebook page. That was a missed photo opportunity.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on this topic. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him. So I should thank you for the free lunch I got.

Horse carriage is a very romantic way to get to the ceremony and to leave it.. I will choose for my wedding day for sure.
