The Twins (A foreword from Becky)
Hello there, I'm Rebecca Regent (Becky) and I’m a little bit shy as I’ve just been built in late 2008, I’m an outstanding limousine in two tone gold, which makes me a perfect match to go with my baby brother, Bertie Bramwith. We are all from the 1920's era, and both Bertie and myself have the added option of the laundellette folding back quarter which is absolutely fabulous for photographs. Accommodating up to 6 adults, I am the perfect choice for those bigger bridal parties or as a very impressive bridal car. My brother Bertie also comes in matching two tone gold, and when people see us together they can hardly believe their eyes as we are stunning as a pair!
What we will try to do on the Day (weather permitting)...
Arriving at your house
On your Wedding Day we endeavour to get Becky and Bertie, our two stunning cars to your pick up address in plenty of time. When you know the Cars are outside even though you may not be leaving for another 15 –30 minutes, its one thing less to worry about. At Select Occasion, we allow enough time, so if there is an unexpected delay along the way the wedding party or drivers have not got to panic.
Going to the Church or Venue
When the wedding party are ready to depart and are we on our way to the church, Bertie, the bridesmaids car goes in front of Becky, as both Becky and Bertie look stunning in convoy. As we pass places where you may know people, the cars can blow the horns periodically, you may be surprised how many strangers and passers by will also pip their horns or wave you on your way, and wish you good luck as you pass by.
Arriving at the Church or Venue
As we get near to the church, Becky slows down or pulls up and Bertie, the bridesmaid’s car goes ahead to give the photographer plenty of time to take photos of your bridesmaids, and get the car unloaded. Bertie then moves forward a little to make room for Becky, the bridal car.
The driver now at the church can tell the driver in the bridal car what is happening and when to make his approach, and that all is clear for Becky bridal car to arrive in style.
If it’s a nice day, your driver will put the laundalette roof down so that you arrive with spectacular photo opportunities from all directions.
Becky, the bridal car will now arrive at the church or venue slowly, and gracefully, don’t forget to wave like Royalty because its your day, its your moment, and we want you to enjoy it.
Your drivers will work to the photographers directions, and assist in obtaining stunning photographs.
Now, its time to go into the church and get married.
While you are in the Ceremony
While you are at the marriage ceremony we will get Becky and Bertie cleaned and turned around ready for the journey to the reception. We will position Becky, the bridal car in front of Bertie, the bridesmaids car as this time it the bride and groom goes in front.
We can fit a board on the back that says Just Married, (optional). When you return to the cars from the venue or church, we will have the champagne ready for opening.
How we deal with the Champagne
We will open your bottle of champagne i.e., perform a “Cork Popping!” We will get it ready on the running board of the car and endeavour to position the car so that the photo of this spectacle has the church in the background, although sometimes it’s not possible.
We then try to get all your family and friends around the car and get them to give you a nice three cheers, Hip Hip…
Most of your guests from both bride and grooms families will have never met before so it’s nice to get them to cheer together for you. We will give the bottle a small shake, and then usually the cork will take off…POP…and there will be a small plume of froth for the photo. The champagne part doesn’t work so well if it’s raining, as most of your guests will have fled to their cars, so in our changeable weather conditions it can become your choice on the day.
The Champagne Cork with a Silver coin
We endeavour to open the bottle of champagne with an original silver sixpence coin, as this is a symbol of health, wealth and happiness. We will then put the coin into a little wooden container for you to take home as a keepsake.
If we know of a favourite bridesmaid or a young flower girl or pageboy that is near the front of the crowd, we will ask them to give it to you, and that’s a favourite shot for your photographer, we ask them to say “Good Luck”, or “I hope your Dreams Come True”, and we can usually start a spontaneous round of applause.
Travelling to the Reception
After you have done some more serious posing at the gardens, beach or your special venue for your photography, we take you in style to your reception. Both Becky and Bertie look impressive in convoy.
Becky will drive off with the bride and groom, letting the bridesmaid’s wave you off, giving you further photo opportunities. Becky, who normally likes to transport the bride and groom will slow down letting Bertie, who will be transporting the wedding party, catch up and both cars will drive in convoy.
At the reception your videographer and photographer will usually want a few more minutes before moving on to the next stage of the proceedings and that’s were we finish our part of your wedding. Although we may have gone, we will definitely not be forgotten by both your guests and by yourselves. Becky and Bertie are very photogenic and will look stunning in your photographs!
