Join Date: Sep 2005 Posts: 237 | So, I'm getting married!
I'm engaged! 
The g/f... er.... fiancee, set the date as October 7th. She's been planning everything, and, of course, I'm in charge of the honeymoon & finding a house for us to live in once it's all over.
Serious question though: Any advice on keeping people away from my car? I defintiely want to take my car to the wedding so we can drive off in it, but I would kill myself if I walked out to find the Z28 covered in "Just Married!" paint/shoepolish (which I'm sure would somehow get splashed onto the paint) and who knows what other tacky post-wedding vehicle decorations.
Maybe I'll just use my car cover, as it has attachments for cables w/ padlocks on the bottom to secure it to the car, but it would be a pain to have to QEW/QD it before putting the cover on. Maybe I'll just park around the corner... 
Though, now that I think about it, it wouldn't cost all that much to hire an armed guard for a few hours  | |

I asked my best man(older brother) to take us away from the church in his car. He drove us to the location of our car and then we went on our honey moon. Was not interested in cleaning up a car on that particular day.

My sister got engaged right after Christmas as well. Have parents or a best friend drive you the the reception and back home! Or better rent a limo! | |

"Attention ladies and gentlemen, the wedding will begin shortly, but I would just like to say that if anyone touches my car, they're dead. No, I mean, dead. I'll find you, and I will kill you. Thank you for your cooperation."  | |

Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: LA - City of Angels Posts: 177 | congrats -- rent a limo for a couple of hours.
also, get a pre-nup agreement! (it's like car insurance -- you never plan on using it, but in case you get into an accident, you're covered).
I learned the hard way and I'm still paying for it!
