Any Groom Who Self-Drive on AD <IMG SRC="http://www.singaporebrides.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif

[bridesept08]

Hihi.. just wanna check how many grooms are willing to self-drive on AD. Will it be more tiring? Any advantages to self-drive? Had rented a beetle, so hubby self-drive but wondering where do the photographer &amp; videographer sit? At XD's car? Pls advise. Thanks!

 

[porsche]

they will take xiongdi's car so that can take u and bride on the road...

can be tiring but prob more fun and nicer on pics..haha

 

[bridesept08]

hihi... told my friends that my hubby is driving the car, their reaction all r the same...'huh? i nvr seen any grooms driving wor', 'wow.. he will be very tired'..blah blah blah.. all negative comments... haiz...
Btw, when my hubby come &amp; fetch me rite, does he 1) stop the car &amp; let the boy open the door &amp; let his XD drive to carpark or
2) drive head straight into carpark lot?
I heard that if hubby is driving rite, he must go into the lot with the car head in first wor.. any1 heard of this before?
I really need the advise for those already hv their customary with self-driving car..

Can any brides who had the beetle car as their wedding car advise what hairstyles u having? cox we intend to let down the car top, so i dun wanna be a madwoman when coming dwn from the car...

pls pls advise.. thanks in advance...

hi groombride, my HB drove the wedding car himself too.. yes, it's much tiring, but it's more intimate i feel.. after my brother open the door for him, one of his XD will drive the car to park at the loading &amp; unloading bay.. they didn't park at the carpark..

i also heard abt the car head thingy.. we also do that too, cos my MIL instructed us to do so.. just follow lor.. i also dunno why..

although ours is not open-top car, my friend had one for her wedding, her HB drove himself too.. my advise is to inform ur MUA about it.. she will know how to handle ur hair.. put more hair spray..

 

[bridesept08]

Hi R&amp;J, thanks a lot for ure re-assurance.. hmm, think i will do just tat.. both our parents pantang also..hehe... So is ure photographer &amp; videographer sitting at ur car behind? cox i dun like the idea of hving them sitting at the back of the car, but most of my friends argued that they must sit behind so that they can take pics wor..-_- pls advise also... thanks thanks..

 

[rjwedding]

no, my PG &amp; VG sit at XD's car.. they can take pics when u about to leave or reaching one place.. isn't it easier?? also how to take pics when ur HB is driving?? if they sit behind, every pics will be urs n ur HB's heads, hahaha..

 

[menthola]

I be driving the car myself...

ya frenz say huh?? siao bo???

but i feel okies to drive &amp; i like to drive lor

 

[bridesept08]

R&amp;J >>> kakaka, tats what i argued with my friends lor, i say if both videographer &amp; photographer sit behind then what pics they taking? backview of our hair huh? ^-^ &amp; they say they NEVER EVER say any of their friends doing like that de wor... so i tell them nvm, i will be the 1st... pek chek to talk to them also.. haiz..
Kiang >>> yup yup.. they even tell me, wow u all want to save on AP $ also not like that mah, ask sum1 to drive instead &amp; then u all can relax at the back.. but i already confirm &amp; double confirm with my hubby liao, he say he ok to drive despite i tell him that he will be very tired on that day...

Forgive all my 'sua ko' friends..&amp; they even tell me that they NVR seen any self-drive grooms de &amp; my jaws drop open wide wide... kakakaka

 

[rjwedding]

think now is quite common for groom to drive themselves.. i've seen a few self-drive groom recently.. it's ur own wedding, so u should be the one makig the decision, need not really listen to ur frens.. just as long u are happy can already lor..

 

[summer_ice]

my HTB and I are also planning to self-drive..

my frens' reactions were also like 'huh, where got pple drive their own wedding car de'

but i dun care lo, i tink it's more meaningful that my HTB drives our own car..

and i learnt sthg new, must head into the lot wor.. must tell my HTB

 

[jaslyn288]

hey gals.. me too.. plan to self-drive.. a special kind of feeling leh.. lol
although it's seems like getting common nowsaday, but most impt, CUT COST!! =D

 

[bridesept08]

3 cheers for the grooms who self-drive... hip hip hurray...

 

[piglet17]

hehe...most likely my HTB will be driving too. Guess it really feels more intimate and special. =)

 

[happinessbliss]

My hubby will be driving too, cos he dun like the idea of someone driving his car...hahaha

 

[kitty_ng]

My hubby oso drove his wedding car...but no space for the PG and VG, so they have to take the xiongdi's car. Not much stress actually, in fact quite fun &amp; exciting

Along the highway, they jus captured all the moments. Very special i feel but quite risky for the VG &amp; PG..

 

[momo_sandra]

YES 5!!
I tot we are the odd wans... cos my hubby also wan to drive his own car. At the beginning I was like the others also... but think twice, I think tat is special and I think I will feel more comfortable and relax.

But I have a headache. My hubby's car got those stickers on it and he wants to drive his car but I think it is not so nice cos it will be very messy after puttig the car deco ... sigh

Any suggestion?

 

[tatsumi_asato]

My FH also said he wants to drive. But we will be renting a car...

 

[summer_ice]

my dad is against the idea of my HTB driving on our AD.. he say dowan anything bad to happen on our big day, just get a xiongdi to drive la, wad is so difficult. so sad..

but i still want HTB to drive leh, will have to try lotsa ways to persuade my dad to let us proceed...

 

[xmasnowy]

hi.. i gettin married nxt friday.. my hubby driving his own car oso...

 

[kitty_ng]

Summer_ice, my parents oso initially against the idea but in the end, we managed to convinced them ... hee

Think wun regret if self drive.

 

[summer_ice]

how did you manage to convince yr parents?
my mum is ok with the idea, but my dad is not...

 

[kitty_ng]

I think they are jus worried cox my parents were initially worried that driving adds stress to us when we were already handling many things on that day. But i told em we wan it different! Morever, my hubby always drive so driving is like daily routine to him. The only stress we faced were trying to figure out the car that we used....cox it's not ours...hee

Hope you can eventually drive on your own

 

[alicia_yong]

Hi all, can anyone advise me where i can rent a conertible 2-seater car for my wedding? Thanks!

 

[sillyfool]

I planning to get a convertible for my future wedding.. but when i talk to mama.. sighz.. got rejected.. ;( no choice.. giving up on that convertible~~~ sighhhz

 

[irritant]

try weddingcars.com.sg...thinking of a SLK or Audi TT or Golf GTi...

i wan to self drive too!!! but WTB not too keen abt it...lots of comments abt being very tired also...but i rather have my own face in the pic rather than the driver's...

but if driving myself means renting car...cos i wan a sports car...if not will be sticking to BS' Merz...so boring...

 

[superfamous]

my FH is quite keen on self-driving a convertible too but i'm afraid me and my dress cannot fit inside kekkeke

plus, with convertible, when you reach the destination, hair will be so messy! =( what if the veil fly off? =P

 

[irritant]

drive slowly...hahahaha...keep within 50km/h should help?

 

[topaz]

also feel Merz too typical. my hubby-to-be also thinking to self drive...also thought of convertible.. but worried about the hair/dust...

 

[bridesept08]

hi jalene,

Rented a beetle for my last sept wedding.. everyday goes well. no worries on the hair/dust. My gown is also a 'pong pong' type &amp; my bridal assured me no problem. just to let your hair stylist know that you will be driving a convertible will do. they will spray more hair spray on you. Just imagine every1 waving at you dwn the expressway when you are driving a convertible.. reali no regrets!! its once in a life-time...

 

[superfamous]

groombride, thats good to hear. i'm intending to wear a pong pong gown &amp; my FH wanna get a convertible.

now to source for one.. where did you rent yours from?

 

[bridesept08]

hihi.. morning.. i got mine from beetlerental..

enjoy ure wedding, babe..

 

[snowbell09]

nowadays very common to have grooms driving the cars themselves, especially 2-seaters. and remember when driving, DO NOT REVERSE (hence the front-in when parking). they say that if reverse means you will regret the marriage.

 

[blackrock]

If parallel parking then how sia??.. ;D

 

[bridesept08]

Justin, you can ask your bro to park for you when you reach the destination.. this is what my hubby did also.. no worries.

 

[misskermit]

self - drive more memorable lah, if ask friend to drive hor, like make them ah mud like that

 

[amanda1982]

hi, i will like to know more abt self drive on AD. i also will be getting my HTB to drive his own car. seeing the above message about car head in first, i will like know that if the groom is driving and stop by the carpark and let my brother open the door for him to come out first. then pass over to XD to park the car is ok for XD to reverse the car into a carpark lot?

 

[betty81]

amanda,shdnt be an issue asking the xiongdi to park the car lah... but someone must open the door for the htb lah...

me planning to do tat as well in a borrowed mini cooper

 

[amanda1982]

oh ok... ya will be getting my brother to open door for HTB first then pass over to XD to park car. Thanks..

 

[rachelho]

My HTB plan to do that because we are renting SLR

 

[kchinghong]

my hubby was driving a beetle during our wedding. i think it does appear nicer on the video as it is less clutter w/o another person. it also enable the PG and VG to capture the couple and the car together in bigger size and not just focus on the back of the car.
i think open hood cars are wonderful for capturing the pics of the bride and groom in full view too =)

[zhuge_liang]

Ya... Do agreed converter car all nice... But touch wood, "Don't rain"....

 

[superfamous]

my hubby also self-drove for AD. he got a XD to drive from his place to mine and took over when we left my place

 

[ixoral]

my hubby self drove as well..from his place to mine, my place to his, and then to hotel. Ours was a convertible too. More fun! Parking part can just ask XD to do it... all u have to do is to get out of the car nicely

 

[prettypapillon]

Hi can I ask if the bridal car must be opened by a boy when the groom reaches the bride's place? What is the significance of this? Any groom opens the car door himself?

 

[doodlier]

hi all,
my hubby drove himself too. It kind of feels nice to escape from all the rest of the people for a while. heh =) so it was a good few minutes drive and have a short while together in between the tea ceremonies.

 

[thommy]

I'm planning to self-drive too for my big day in March, car is a cute cute convertible...only prob is, dunno whether my wife's gown can fit into the front passenger seat or not hahahahaha...

word of advice for those with convertibles: try not to wind down the top when u fetch ur wife from her house and for the first half of the day, wind down only when the important events are over so that u dun look like a madwoman with hair running all over the place hahahahahha...

PG + VG can sit in any of ur XDs following cars, no issues

 

[superfamous]

Thomas, what car did you get? my gown so big still can fit into the sports car, should be no problem ba..

 

[thommy]

yo jo, u are here also ah? hahahahaha

borrowing my mum's cute cute kei car, its a Copen

 

[superfamous]

since its your mums car can borrow it when you go for ur fittings and test

 

[thommy]

ya, we intend to do that hahahahahaha...if cannot fit gotta think of alternatives le =)
