We've picked out a car for Holland!

John and I had quite a discussion about how we were going to arrive at the wedding. Apparently, in the Dutch tradition - the groom picks up the bride when he give her her bouquet. It seems to make sense that we'd arrive together, since we're both coming from the same house...

My initial suggestion was a horse-drawn carriage. I love horses. However, it was exorbitantly expensive and we'd both have to wake up an hour earlier if we wanted to get to the venue on time.... :) On the opposite end, it would have been a classic beetle. That's me.

His initial suggestion was one of those grand classic vehicles, like an old Rolls Royce, or a Jaguar Mark V. He's more classic that way...

Like everything we've ever chosen for the wedding... we had to be able to see the both of us in it. After poring though countless bruidsauto / trouwauto websites... we finally came across a car where we could see the both of personalities. 

It's a replica of an old porsche speedster. Not as ostentatious as a new porsche, and not as loud as a traditional classic car. The smooth rounded curves remind me of Herbie (a volkswagen beetle), yet elongated to more refined proportions. It's nice and blends discreetly into the background...

It will be perfect for the spring, we just hope it doesn't rain :)

Thanks John for finding our car!
