Being a driver for a Fort Myers limo company I see my share of off the wall wedding ceremonies. Every so often it looks the subsequent one is making an attempt to surpass the last. Here is just a taste of what I'm saying.
Not too far back I drove a wedding party where the bride got out of the limo with 2 beers and a pack of cigarettes in hand. I like to refer to this as the '2 beers and a pack of smokes ' wedding.

Even though this wedding, to say the least, was anything but normal, it had to be one of the most fun weddings EVER! Sure, it was a tiny unusual which became apparent when the most easygoing set of people I have seen in a while got into the limo with 2 coolers full of beer and liquor. When I drove up at the location for the wedding, I was parked in an open field in the dead of summer for 2 hours. It was SWELTERING. Not a cloud in the sky. The sun was beating down. The limousine was ungodly hot. I looked like I had been swimming. The doors were open on the limousine and everyone was sweating. The best part, nobody appeared to notice. It became a true party after the ceremony and all through the pictures. In true redneck form, the party didn't end until the beer ran out. At which point everybody loaded into the limo and we were off to the reception.
Speaking of receptions A different wedding I drove for around the same time, with a very different kind of customers, was straight out of the tabloids. I'd really like to pass this one along as a public service announcement, please be prepared for your approaching wedding. Making your limo driver drive you to the nearest massive national chain store (the one with the blue sign that's got a grocery on one side and a department store on the other) so that you can pick up your catering food order between the wedding and the wedding reception is just downright tacky. All of the folk in the parking lot aren't giggling and point

They are giggling because they know it's tacky too!
These are simply a couple of my many adventures from the active wedding season here in southwest Florida. So long as the weather is still ideal most of the year, I do not figure I am going to run out of stories soon.
