Making an Exit

July 26th, 2010 @ 12:53 pm by Mrs. Sand Dollar

Mr. SD and I want to exit with a bang. Since we’re on a super-crazy-mega-budget (I believe I’ve mentioned it before, in pretty much every post!), we have one of two options. First, let me set the scene. Indian-Summer night, twinkle lights, tin cans and mason jar candles, barbecue, and pie. Lots of drunk country folk. Which is the better choice?

First up we have Mettie, or my Honda Metropolitan. Cute, classic, and oh-so-chic! Would look darling with cans, ribbons, and a just married sign. Mr. SD says it’s too girlie. But I think it could be a really fun option!

Across the ring is Suzi, aka Mr. SD’s Suzuki Samurai. A total muddin’ toy, she’s compact and could still be made wedding-worthy with some cans and a sign. Plus, we could always blare some farewell music, and pack frosty beverages in a cooler in the back. It’s definitely the backwoods option.

So what do you think?

Should we go classic or country?

I like the idea of riding off, playing music, and beverages in the back. We’re riding off on a tandem bike (thanks Dad for finding it!) and I’m so scared for my dress. I know you have a second dress, but still, I’d be worried about your dress.

The Suzuki fits the scene about a billion times better.

Love ‘em both! Could you possibly get a side-car for Mettie? Cause that would be freaking hysterical.

As long as you guys aren’t drunk (please please please), the scooter. So cute. LOL, if you are drunk don’t get behind the wheel of the Suzuki either.

@heather25: Haha, thanks Heather! We won’t be drunk, I promise. I’ve threatened Mr. SD within an inch of his life that he’s not allowed to be trashed on his wedding night. I’m still gunning for the scooter, but I’m pretty sure he’ll be pushing pretty strong for Suzi!

I love the scooter (want to get one for myself) but think that Suzi is more fitting for the setting. Driving away with music and a trunk full of drinks sounds great!

I can’t resist a scooter exit! Cutest thing ever and probably tons of fun.

I vote for Suzi all the way. Much more comfortable for 2 to ride, especially in the dark after a long day, and really fits your “scene” better in my opinion.

I really really love the scooter idea, but I agree Suzi is probably more appropriate for the scene. Also, my parents used to own one of those and it was super fun.

Maybe you can make your entrance on the scooter instead? :) (Not down the aisle, of course, I’m thinking driving up to the aisle… but, of course, the dress might get dirty before the ceremony even starts, so maybe not)
