got her to the church on time..
As father of the bride I was privileged to drive my daughter to her wedding...by request. She didn't want a limo and wanted a Porsche, so here we are arriving at the church. She's a bit stuffed in there and gear shifting was a challenge but worth every minute. Got lots of smiles and thumbs up at every stop light along the way and we laughed the whole way there.
What a great day!

Cool.
My wife and I drove the 911 from the church to the reception hall on our wedding day. A big, fluffy dress does NOT fit well in a 911 front seat.

thanks guys, it was definitely up there as drives go. Maybe even with driving her mother to the hospital to give birth to her and her sister.

Congrats. The missus and I had a ceremony back in Nov, but we did use a limo. Our daughter is doing her thing in March, but the Boxster's services won't be needed for that either. Congrats!

The car, the walk down the isle, the toast, all the speeches, the dance...just what a night. It's great to be a dad isn't it!

As I get older simple things like this are the best things that happen. Congratulations on giving yourself and your daughter an indelible memory of something good.
