[Poll] "Climb up on my faithful steed..."

Now that we've officially picked a date and settled on a location we've started to divert our attention to other matters. This includes wedding party attire, some wedding day surprises, and the all important bachelor party (and I guess bachelorette party, too, but whatever). I'm sure all these will be mentioned in future blogs at some point so this post will focus on another item we've been considering: wedding party transportation. Since unicorns no longer exist, we are trying to think of other ways to make Eileen's wedding unique.

One of the options Eileen suggested was asking one of the groomsmen - Rich - if we could borrow his Porsche. I vetoed the idea. While I like the thought of possibly saving money on transportation, I don't want to do it at the expense of friends and family. And I also don't want all the groomsmen sitting on my lap to fit in the car.

In order to fit more people, the traditional wedding mode of transportation is the limousine. But this is San Francisco and since Eileen is we're tree-hugging hippie wannabes, we wondered, "What would Al Gore do?" Yup, stretch Prius. We are currently looking to see if this is available in our area.

One vehicle that I'm pretty sure is available is everyone's favorite human transporter, the Segway. We considered this for a bit but a number of issues prevent this from being a viable option. First, the distance from the church to the hotel is rather far and we'd have to take back roads all the way. Second, we'd have to wear helmets and wouldn't want to ruin Eileen's hair. And finally, we'd look pretty stupid. Imagine a wedding party of 14 people traveling single file down the El Camino Real. On second thought, maybe we'd look pretty awesome.

So those are the options we're exploring. What do you think we should roll in on?
