This tragic tale begins back in May of '09, on the night my little sister Kristin's wedding. Late in the evening of their wedding day, the smart, young groom had properly planned for transportation to escort them to their home. As the newly minted couple was readying to leave for their first night as man and wife, an unfortunate thing occured: the arrival of a Limo Bus (GASP!) rather than the sumptuous stretch limo requested...
Unhappily, this sent the new young bride into what can be best described as "hysterics." Despite the happy, happy day, the bride was inconsolable about the arrival of the "Limo Bus" (It was like the vehicle that brings you from the airport parking lot to the airport. Klassy.). Me thinks it was just "a long day" for the bride.
Flash forward six months....the smart groom secured a COMPLIMENTARY limousine as a result of the wedding night car-tastrophe...and was romantic and thoughtful enought to surprise his wife with a stretch HUMMER limousine, all of her sisters in it, and a great dinner at
Mancy's in Toledo, Ohio.
The bride was ecstatic. And surprised.
We had food...
...and drink....
...and pointy heels...
...and big, big smiles...
Too bad the sweet stretch Hummer never even left the parking lot.
BATTERY TROUBLE. It wouldn't even start!
Foiled again. (WAH - WAH - WAAAAAAH)
But, this time, the limo company sent a back up stretch limo (not a Hummer, but lovely nonetheless...) and we all made it to Mancy's anyway. (I guess this is a tale of three limos, now that I think about it!) And no one cried at all. In fact, quite the opposite!
Mancy's was one of the best meals of my whole life!! Thanks, Mr. Miller, for including us in all the fun. We are the luckiest.
Cheers!
Mark and Kelly! And Baby #3 on the way!
Birthday girl with birthday cosmo!
Really, this was one of the most special nights ever...hanging out with my sisters and their cool husbands, my cool husband...in a limo! AWESOME
