Range Rover wedding car donated for cash strapped bride’s big day

A bride from Leicestershire was bowled over by the generosity of her local Range Rover dealership in Melton, Mowbray, after the sales executive supplied a wedding car for the big day free of charge.

39-year-old bride Helen Doughty, has resigned herself to travelling to her local church to marry her partner of 12 years, Paul Robinson, in a taxi after the couple’s wedding budget was all used up on their reception and transport for their guests. The couple laid on a reception for their wedding guests at The Market Tavern and even supplied transportation for their guests to travel to their celebration, however the expense meant they had no money left for a wedding car.

The bride to be had a lovely surprise on her special day when the sales executive from Range Rover Melton, David Vaughan, arranged for a state of the art white Range Rover to collect Helen and her bridesmaid and transport her to the church free of charge.

The blushing bride described the immaculate wedding car, which had been decked out in ribbons and a personalised number plate especially for the big day, as “stunning” and as the “icing on the cake”.

Range Rover wedding cars are a popular choice with brides and grooms in the UK according to leading luxury transport provider, Limo Broker. The chauffeur driven limo hire operator’s stretch Range rover limo is always in high demand for special events, including weddings and hen and stag parties.

Couple get dream wedding car after newspaper appeal

March 9, 2011 By Carl Wheeler
Bristol_400_Car

A couple from the West Midlands have had their wedding transport prayers answered after putting an appeal in the Express and Star newspaper for a specific model of wedding car.

Groom-to-be Robert Baker fell in love with the iconic Bristol sports cars as a 10-year-old and has always dreamed of owning one. However the £50,000 + price tag was beyond his reach, and so the self-employed builder is yet to own his own Bristol, although he still clung onto the dream of travelling in one on his wedding day.

Ahead of his wedding to fiancée Carole Geary this spring, Mr Baker placed an ad in the newspaper to appeal to anyone with a Bristol car to see if they would consider lending their vehicle to the couple for their big day.

The appeal paid off, as Robert Hathaway, the proud owner of a 1968 Bristol 410 model, got in touch and offered his vintage ride to the couple for their wedding day transport.

As well as the classic 1968 Bristol car, Mr Hathaway also owns a 1955 Bristol 404 which he bought 40 years ago.

This story comes at a sad time for the iconic Bristol car manufacturers as it was revealed this month that the company has gone into administration. Bristol has been hand making cars in the UK since 1946 and has a reputation for producing high quality luxury cars.

Despite the unhappy news about the Bristol car makers, the happy couple from Wall Heath are looking forward to arriving at their big day this month in their own chauffeur driven Bristol wedding car.

Car hire firm to introduce solar power at US outlets

February 11, 2011 By Trudi Johnson

Car hire giant, Hertz, have unveiled plans to introduce solar power at 16 of its outlets across the US including key locations in California and New York.

The announcement to roll out solar power at a number of Hertz rental centres follows a successful pilot scheme at the car rental company’s Denver Airport outlet. Hertz estimate that the solar panels at their Denver centre alone will offset 650,000 pounds of CO2 emissions every year, so the off-setting potential for 16 outlets across America is huge.

The process of introducing solar panels at Hertz car hire outlets involves fitting Photovoltaic panels to the roofs of these centres, providing on average, 2.3 mw of energy. Hertz hopes to have the 16 outlets, complete with their new solar panels, up and running by the end of the year.

This is just another example of Hertz’s commitment to greener energy as the company has always already introduced a number of electric powered vehicles to its rental fleets, including the ultra green Nissan Leaf, and the Chevrolet Volt.

One of the heads of Hertz car hire in the US say the company “leads the industry in sustainable practices” and the introduction of solar panels is just another way in which the company is striving to offer environmentally friendly practices.

Bride in tears as wedding car gets parking fine

February 8, 2011 By Carl Wheeler

A bride from Dunstable was left in floods of tears on her wedding day after one of her wedding cars was slapped with a parking fine outside the local registry office.

The Black BMW wedding car had chauffeured a disabled family member to the ceremony and had a blue disabled badge parking permit on display at the time the ticket was issued, the bride claims.

39-year-old bride Rebecca Ridgway had even taken the time to check with the venue that it was acceptable to park the said wedding car outside, and was assured it was fine, as long as the blue disabled badge was clearly on display. But despite this, the wedding car was hit by a parking ticket as the bridal party waited outside the venue ahead of the ceremony.

As well as issuing the wedding car with a parking fine, bride-to-be Rebecca also alleges that the female traffic warden was “rude” and also “abusive” which the 39-year-old has detailed in her letter of complaint to the parking regulators and also the council.

The unpleasant incident marred what should have been the happiest day of this bride’s life as she described how her first words to groom Andrew Wilson were, “we’ve got a parking ticket” as she arrived at the ceremony for their wedding blessing.

The couple had married in a ceremony abroad a few months earlier, but the wedding blessing in Dunstable was supposed to be their celebration with their family and friends.

In their defence, the council say that vehicles parked in the area where the ticket was issued must display as parking permit as well as a blue disable badge. The matter is being investigated.

Wedding limo carjacked in the US

November 8, 2010 By Dez Rowley
chrysler-stretch-wedding-limo

Five terrified bridesmaid were forced to flee from their chauffeur driven limo over the weekend after a thief broke into the vehicle, attacking the driver, while the party were parked outside a church in Massachusetts.

It’s believed the thief was fleeing a nearby property which he’d broken into and was being pursued. In order to make his getaway he forced his way into the luxury wedding limo, smashing the passenger window with a hammer.

It was at this point that the five adult bridesmaids made a run for it as the robber and the chauffeur wrestled inside the limousine. The thief eventually got the better of the battling limo driver, and made away in the wedding car.

Despite the ordeal, the shaken bridesmaids managed to conceal their terror, and made their way down the aisle behind the bride as though nothing had happened. The bride and groom, Jillian Sherlock and Nikhil Pereira, exchanged their vows in blissful ignorance as no one let on about the carjacking drama for fear of putting a dampener on proceedings.

During the service the police arrived along with a replacement limousine for the bridesmaids. The police took witness statements from all of the bridal party after the wedding in an attempt to build up a picture of the opportunist thief.

The wedding limo was later found abandoned, however the wedding carjacker is still at large.

Wedding car procession made up of diggers

November 2, 2010 By Trudi Johnson

One budget savvy groom from China had the brain wave of swapping an elegant procession of luxury wedding cars, for a fleet of decorated diggers to help save money on transport for his big day.

The groom, Zhang Zongqiang, works for a heavy machinery company so getting his hands on a procession of JCB diggers wasn’t a problem. The 35-year-old hoped the idea would save him and his wife-to-be money, and also ensure their wedding stood out from the crowd.

However the blushing bride, Ye Yuzi, wasn’t so convinced. With her heart set on a classy and sophisticated wedding car, Zhang’s digger idea was a million miles away from her dream wedding day transport.

Despite her reservations, her soon-to-be husband talked her round by promising their wedding would be especially memorable with the inclusion of the digger wedding procession.

The groom’s plan to create a show-stopping spectacle certainly worked, as the streets came to a standstill as the wedding procession of decorated diggers passed through. People stopped what they were doing to catch a glimpse of the happy couple as they passed by standing hand in hand in the bucket of the digger at the head of the procession.

Bride ye admitted she was “freezing” during her ride in the digger before adding, “it was all worth it.”

The newlyweds even handed out sweets to police officers along the wedding procession route to make amends for causing traffic build up with their unusual wedding day transportation.

Tractor serves as wedding car for couple’s cave wedding

October 6, 2010 By Trudi Johnson
church-cave

With a tractor for a wedding car and a bride in welling ton boots, there was nothing traditional about the wedding of Andy Taylor and Jaclyn Harbot who tied the knot in a cave in the Scottish Hebrides this week.

The couple, who got engaged in New York’s Central Park a year ago, came across the isolated cave on the Island of Rona while on holiday last year and were so overwhelmed by the location, they vowed to get married at the spot.

The venue for the big day was Cave Church, near the Isle of Skye, which is situated halfway down a steep cliff and only reachable by foot via a precarious muddy path. The remains of when the spot served as a church are still evident with pews, now replaced with boulders, lining the Cave Church area.

Given the unique wedding location many traditions went out of the window. The chauffeur driven Rolls Royce wedding car was dispensed with and replaced with a tractor and a boat, while the bride’s meringue dress was exchanged for something more practical which wouldn’t drag in the mud.

Only a handful of close family members attended the big day due to the unusual choice of venue. The wedding reception was held on the island’s only permanent residence.

Vintage wedding car ditches the church

September 21, 2010 By Trudi Johnson
1928-Packard-vintage-car

A vintage 1928 Packard wedding car failed to make it to the church on time this weekend after the car ended up sideways in a ditch while on its way to collect the bride and groom.

The classic car was part of a procession of two wedding cars on their way to collect a wedding party in Highbridge, Somerset. However the chauffeur got into difficulty after a cyclist swerved in front of the two cars as they were approaching a sharp bend in the road. The first car braked to avoid the bike, but the driver of the second car accidentally hit the accelerator instead of the brake, and so skidded onto the grass verge and into the ditch.

The wedding car sustained front end damage to the exterior bodywork, and the interior was also partially damaged as a result of ditch water leaking into the car after it crashed into the trench off the side of the road.

The elderly chauffeur of the 1928 Packard wedding car sustained minor head injuries as a result of the accident.

Luckily for the wedding party, another classic wedding car attending a nearby wedding was able to cover the job and so the couple made it to the church on time despite the upset.
