Ask the local dealer if they can lend you one for a couple of hours. I am sure they have a demo......and maybe even a convertible 
. Just call the general manager of the dealership and ask........I bet you the answer would be "yes". They would put you on a "borrowed car agreement". Look at all the attention a car with dealer plates and a bride would get
. Let us know what happens.

Brilliant idea!
Brilliant idea! How about arranging a little media coverage with a video or photo of the car celebrating the event and as a promo for the vehicle? At the very least, a photo would look nice in the sales room at the dealership.

Well, the wedding went off without a hitch, and thanks to matthewz who helped out my friends. Per the happy bride, the ride went very comfortably!

Why's the guest of honor in the back?
Here's the MINI of honor, blushing bride, and new groom. Of note, he's about my height (6'1"), so he did his best human penknife imitation, folding himself into the rear seats.
Photographer wanted them both framed in the sunroof, but it pretty much impossible, given their height and the MINI's dimensions..
No real opportunity that Saturday, we were on a tight timetable, but I'll probably get 'em a test ride gratis in the MINI once they're back from their honeymoon..:-)
cheers,
matthew z.

Fabulous! Great photo of the wedding couple.
I'm sure they will remember the "fun" they had.
Also very very nice photos in your flickr.com gallery!!!
Marvelous!

Like them both enough to give them a chance to drive the MINI when we're all a bit less pressed for time. Besides, if I'd known the bride and groom better, a MINI participating wouldn't be quite the surprise Alyssa had intended, now would it?
Cheers,
Matthew Z.
