Video: Running of the Hairy Legged Brides
At 7 a.m. on Saturday morning, a group of men ran around downtown Gardiner clad in wedding dresses, all for a good cause: raising funds for Camp Sunshine in Casco, which is for kids with life threatening diseases. What kind of men donned the gown? J.B. Lawrence brings us this report for the KJ.
During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the pastor with an unusual offer:
“Look, I’ll give you $100 if you’ll change the wedding vows. When you get to the part where I’m supposed to promise to ‘love, honor and obey’ and ‘be faithful to her forever,’ I’d appreciate it if you’d just leave that out.”
He passed the minister a $100 bill and walked away satisfied.
On the day of the wedding, when it came time for the groom’s vows, the pastor looked the young man in the eye and said: “Will you promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life, and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife that you will not ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?”
The groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny voice, “Yes,” then leaned toward the pastor and hissed: “I thought we had a deal.”
The pastor put a $100 bill into the groom’s hand and whispered: “She made me a better offer.”
Do you want more ??
There was bedlam in Buckhead this morning as hundreds of future brides were on a mission to find that perfect wedding dress. The brides arrived early at Filene’s Basement as the retailer conducted their annual Running of the Brides.
Running a wedding car business can be, although stressful, interesting and exciting. You are among beautiful cars, you often meet new people and you have the feeling that you help them have a perfect wedding day.
You have to always think how to fulfil and extend your clients’ wishes, while remaining competitive and increasing your income. There are some tips that you can follow.
Firstly, you should have your auto park kept in best possible conditions. Enlarge the number of the cars according to the clients wishes. Most of them want limousines or old cars for their wedding day. But a lot of other cars are required for the guests. Be flexible and accept to decorate the cars according to their wishes (flowers, traditional white or colored ribbons).
Secondly, make sure that you have hired the best personnel. A fully trained chauffeur is not only a must, but can add a plus to your firm’s image. They have to be professional, persuasive, but friendly.
Then it would be better to have different offer packages (for example transports from the bride’s house to the church, from here to the restaurant and from there to the chosen hotel or the airport / railway station).
It will be also a plus for your business if you assure the exclusivity of the car on the wedding day (everybody will be more relaxed and it will be plenty of time for photographs).
The wedding transport plays an important part of the celebration. You and your firm have the possibility to help making the wedding day a day to remember!
