The Grand Exit

Couture Wedding: Amber + Matt

A while back, I mentioned that you should make a list of wedding aspects that are important to you. One item that is very low on our list is transportation. We're not particular about our getaway car. We agreed early on that we'll try to borrow my Grandma's Mustang (yeah, my Grandma drives a new Mustang GT; doesn't yours?). It's very pretty, a convertible, and-oh yeah- it's free.

In the past few years I've seen some pretty awesome Grand Exits- from limos, to a Jaguar, to horse drawn carriage. But the one that takes the cake has got to be Couture co-founder, Christi. She and her hubby left her wedding in a helicopter. Now, I have to mention that this not the only form of transportation Christi used on her big day. Nope. Christi stole a horse from a mounted policeman (okay, so she didn't technically steal it). And she and her bridesmaids were driven to the front of the aisle in a limo.

Now, a helicopter sounds very costly for a Grand Exit, so I asked Christi what made her choose this route. She explained that her wedding venue was so close to a local airport that the cost of renting the helicopter was comparable to that of renting a limo. How cool is that?!

What spectacular Grand Exits have you witnessed?
