The fiance approved of the idea to have mini countrymen be our wedding transportation. We talked to our dealer, who talked to corporate, but they won't be able to provide cars for the wedding. So now i am asking the community to help.

We are getting married May 7th and would need 5 Countryman's to drive us from our parents house to the church then from the church to the reception. (10 minute drives each Oakland/Franklin Lakes/Wayne).

We would need the cars to pick us up at 11 from our homes then drive us the the reception at 1pm

We would be compensating you for your time.

What do you say mini community? Make my wedding idea a reality? Don't make us have to rent a limo.

You can respond here or email me directly Flyinace2000 [at] willsisti [dot] net

 

I think this is an awesome idea - if I lived 3,000 miles closer, my wife & I would bring both our MINIs for you!

 

If I lived nearby we would be there for sure! Hope it turns out for you and best wishes on the upcoming nuptials!

What an awesome, awesome idea! You wouldn't happen to be looking for a photographer too?

Not only am I a countryman owner but I'm also a wedding photographer! Even if you don't need a photographer I'd be really interested in participating!

Feel free to send me a message.

 

One car down! 4 to go!

 

Still looking for volunteers!

 

If i had one yet and lived closer i would help you out. Good luck

 

This is looking like a non starter. Maybe just a mini country man for me and the bride and a limo for the bridal party...

 

Keep looking Ace you still have two months. Bump the thread up often.I am positive you will get your planned CM vehicles. Remember CM is still too new and people are waiting for theirs to be delivered. I personally think it's a great idea of MINI wedding. If your group have any kids why not to ask regular MINIs to get them to the church/reception? Put two or three MINIs with children and enthusiasts at the end of your caravan. I would do it for free for you

 

is there a northern NJ MINI owners club that could get involved?

 

Yeah, there is a club, but it is not overly active. I have posted to their forum (www.nemini.org and hvmini.com/org?).

Might go ahead book the limo for now as a plan b, then cancel it and loose my deposit if i get enough minis

 

I don't want to commit as my car might not have arrived yet (ordered this past w/e), plus I may have softball that day. But I may be available I'll let you know when I find out (which is will probably be way last minute, and helps you in no way, lol)

 

Would you consider just an S? Mine's got some heavy graphics on it that could pass for a wedding-esque Mini.

SLICK looking car.

The issue w/ the MCS is that i could really only fit one of the girls or 2 guys...

Maybe it could work.... I would just need more MC/s to accommodate everyone.

PM me, I am 5 min from Franklin Lakes and my Countryman is due to leave Bremerhaven Tomorrow. I'll be your charriot.

 

Thanks! That makes 2 and one maybe! 2 or 3 to go! Also, clubmans also welcome!

 

Bump.

 

I can probably help you out - my light white CM just arrived at the port this morning, so I'm hoping to get it this weekend!

I'm in West Orange, NJ. PM me with the details.

 

Up to a possible 3!!!! 2 More folks :-D

 

Your fiancee IS going to allow you to post the photos here of all of this, right?

I would love to see them!

Also, tell her I said that I think she's being a great sport about all of this. She sounds like a real keeper.

 

You can add our countryman to the wedding party.

 

I can't wait to see these pics!
Annette

 

Awesome! Thanks.

The tally is 3 yes and 2 maybe.

Almost there!
