To Limo or Not To Limo to the Ceremony...tad long

So, I've started looking for limos thanks to all the great recs I received from you girls. Thank you...and in doing so a few instances arised...I planned to have all the girls picked up at the hotel and taken over to the ceremony and since we are getting our pics done in Philly afterwards, it looks like we'll need a limo for 5-6 hours,when it's all said and done.

My fiance brought up a good point and asked if we could not waste one of our hours during the ceremony or pay the driver to just sit there and asked if the girls should carpool to the ceremony and have the limo come when its over. That makes sense to me, it wasn't what I had planned but I am going to consider it...so, I wanted to ask you girls, what you thought...as well as hear about how you are getting to the ceremony

I don't know how I really feel... he makes a good point and it will save us money but I kinda was looking forward to heading over w/ all the girls together....just interested in what you all are doing?

It's up to you, but a point to consider is whether the limo company will even do that.  Most of them will not do split hours.  I recommend you call around and ask, to see if they will, before you make the decision on the question you asked.

Oh no, I wasn't thinking of splitting up the times...I guess I wasn't clear in my post, yeah, I don't know of any places that do that either... I was just curious really as to whom was taking a limo over to the ceremony or if people were driving themselves or carpoolin' then starting their limo time after the ceremony was over. But thanks for your input!

So if they carpool to the ceremony, then how will they get back to those vehicles after the reception is over? If you decide to go this route, you're probably going to have to help coordinate who rides with whom, and who will do the driving (are you comfortable asking your bp's significant others to help shuttle you all around before the ceremony?). I was in a wedding last summer, and my fi pretty much played chauffer for myself and another bridesmaid (as well as some flowers from the ceremoy to reception). He absolutely didn't mind, but I found it a little inconvenient.

Logistics aren't easy!
