An update on my last post about the cars. Since the cars will still be there for the photos, we decided that they were worth having. We have hired a 1956 Bentley S1 and a 1963 Jaguar S Type from Classic Bridal Cars.

For the afterparty, Tim and I will travel in the Bentley, and the bridal party will travel in a 16 seater Hummer!

I’ve been thinking a lot about cars today. With the ceremony and reception on the same site, most people won’t see the cars that we arrive in since they’ll be inside the chapel already.

So, instead, we’re going to focus on the “getaway” cars.

It won’t be just Tim and I going away. We’re inviting the whole bridal party to join us in the city.

Because the wedding is early in the day, we’ve decided to have an “afterparty“. It won’t be a party as such, but more of a quite evening in a Sydney pub with just our immediate family. It will give a chance for our families to mingle in a more relaxed atmosphere and prevent an anti-climax after the last dance at 5pm, which seems much too early for the day for end. It also gives us a chance to reflect on the wedding day with my family who I won’t see again for some time since we’re leaving for our honeymoon the following day and they’ll be going back to England.

And it means I get to wear my gorgeous dress for a few more hours. :)

We’ll be taking everyone there in 2 stretch limos; probably the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, pictured above.
