Congratulations to you and your bride! Can't wait to see more pics.

This is just another example of why being part of the MINI family is so cool.

Last one on the end is mine if the plate didn't give that away!

Was a really nice day for the wedding, with only a very brief sprinkling of rain, enough for luck

Elizabeth and Will looked brilliant, loved Wills pink tennis shoes

Great to meet all the mini drivers - good folk one and all.

The miniusa reps were very professional but also fun. Got some insight into a couple of the countryman designs eg the size of the rear mini badge and the use of the flat fuel cover inplace of the recessed chrome cap from r56 that I prefer.

I should apologize to the mother and father of the bride again though... Almost causing a bit of calamity at one "round-about" *blush*. In my defense Im a Brit and that was not a "proper" roundabout, but some weird NJ variation! *grin*

All the best to the bride and groom!

Cheers
Dan

I agree! Since when are Stop signs posted in a roundabout?

Congratulations to both you and Liz! All the best!

this is awesome. I'm impressed that MINI USA showed up - but also not entirely surprised, having talked to a bunch of the folks at MINI Takes The States, they really do live and breathe the brand.

I'm glad they were able to make your day that much more special.

Talking Just One Mini for a quick ride

So, I just have to say your story is AWESOME!! I have a Mini and my fiance is getting one in a few months.

But, in the meantime, we live in Pittsburgh and are getting married in New Brunswick, NJ. I SO would love to ride in a Countryman from our Ceremony to our Reception. It's about 10 blocks at about 7:15 on Saturday night, November 5, 2011.

You wedding pictures were perfect! I do hope someone who joined your convoy would be interested in doing it one more time! Or maybe someone new would be interested.

This would make the day the most memorable of all. We even have a cake topper of two Minis dressed in formal wear!

I'm so glad I found you and your post!

Suzie
