VW Camper Van chosen over a wedding limo for one couple’s 70’s inspired big day
VW Camper Van provides the wedding car hire for one Scottish couple
Forget your usual wedding day with white chauffeur driven limos and meringue dresses, there’s nothing traditional about this couple’s wedding. Bride-to-be Annette from Greenock, Scotland, was so taken with the smash hit film of last year Mama Mia that she decided to have a 70’s Abba theme for her big day.
Luckily for Annette her future husband George McQuaid was game for the idea and snapped up a lime green suit from the internet straight away. The bride ditched the conventional ivory gown and instead opted for a thigh-skimming hippy-chick mini dress complete with white knee high boots for the full Abba effect.
The wedding guests were also keen to get in on the action and all turned up in their 70’s inspired attire. The bride’s mother said everyone embraced the idea, admitting that she thought it was because “we all have a bit of madness in us.”
Instead of the usual Rolls Royce complete with ribbons and flowers, this couple rolled up to their wedding ceremony in a traditional 70’s vehicle; the iconic VW Camper Van. The wedding party certainly drew some attention when they pulled up outside Greenock Town Hall with many workers from nearby offices coming out to have a better look at the novelty wedding gang.
Most importantly a great time was had by all as the blushing bride said “Everyone got right into it, from my son, Ross, who’s 11, to my Gran Lena, who is 77.”

Brilliant, well seeing she is from Greenock. Went and visited Greenock just last week, was pleasantly surprised at how much there was to do. Stayed at the express inn Greenock. Went shopping in The Oak Mall is a mall with 80 shops. Clothes shops, book shops, travel agencies….. You will find them in the Oakmall. It’s really great to walk around. When we were in town the tall ship Prince William was moored up. Officially called a brig the ship was only built in 2001 at a cost of £5.5 million. Pretty impressed and would go back any day. Would not mind an invatation to your wedding sounsd a rite laugh.
