Bridal Car - Silver Arrow Bridal Car, Inc

During the initial stages of the wedding, the bride has been constantly going on and on about wanting to ride in a beautiful vintage car (like most do). As the groom and as a guy, this of course raised a bunch of red flags-- one being, most of the vintage cars available in the Metro are hellaciously pricey and two, there's always the fear of the car breaking down during the actual wedding day (which would be very, VERY embarrassing on all fronts).

Of course, these are things that women rarely think of. They just want to ride in a vintage car to their wedding and look pretty. Case closed. That's not being sexist or anything, but you don't exactly expect the missus to be thinking about gas mileages, the quality of the air conditioning (Nissan's better than Toyota's for example) and so on.

The most popular would be Don Robert's Bridal Cars. But since we were late with our decision for the cars and that our wedding was to be held on December 1 (which is the start of the whole "marrying season" and not June), they were already out of the models that we initially wanted. So with about four to five weeks away from the wedding, this broom went on a crash, Internet search for a bridal car.

PENDONG! Peace :)
Here's a little tidbit about me and the missus, we always do the "Pendong peace"gag where upon the sight of an old Volkswagen Beetle, whoever sees it first delivers a brain-scrambling "batok" to the hapless and unsuspecting victim (which is usually me, the groom).

Being 6"0 tall, there was just no way I could squeeze myself inside the Beetle. So instead of riding in it with the missus, we decided that it would serve as her Bridal Car going to the venue. We rented the Beetle for 3 hours, but were informed by our Mr. Everything wedding coordinator Jhune Salud that they (Silver Arrow) were already at the hotel as early as 12 p.m. (with the departure for the venue not until 4:30 p.m.-- wow! Speaks volumes of their professionalism and commitment).


Also, it should be noted that I never really met with any of Silver Arrow's team. It was all through text, bank transfers and one phone call to seal the deal. :)
