    I am getting married soon.

    Almost two years ago in my Prius... I layed my eyes on my fiancee for the first time in person. It was love at first sight. Long story short, the big day is approaching. Since we met in a hybrid car, I wanted to pick her up on a "green horse" on our wedding day.....

    I am disappointed that I could not find any wedding limo that is hybrid. The wedding limo we got is the standard stretched white Lincoln towncar (greenest I can find). I have seen stretched H2 Hummer limos so why not hybrid stretched limos?

    The closest thing I can think of is the Prius Limo but he is not in USA. If you know of any stretched Prius (any hybrid preferrably white) in NY area, please let me know.

    Closest thing I can think of to a Hybrid Limo is the Lexus LS600h. I dont think they rent them though

    This is unusual but we have more than one pair of best man/bridesmaid because she couldn't pick just one bridesmaid.... Therefore, all of us are not going to fit if the limo is not stretched.

    OhMyGod it *is* real! Here's the buried link to a detailed description and construction photos. Amazing! But I wouldn't want to be in it in a collision.

    The closest will be the LS600h L.. It's the largest hybrid but still only a 5-passenger.

    In-line tandems are a commercial item, so you must mean a side-by-side tandem? That would be cute.

    I've been to a wedding where the bride and groom rode off on their tandem. My one and only responsibility - well, other than behaving myself - was to get the bike there in one piece.

    Thank you. I think I will go with two cars. My black Prius and the white stretched Towncar.

    The question is... which car should I be in?

    There is Highlander Hybrid with 3rd row seat.... or the Yukon hybrid :eek: not sure how many seat it has.

    Anyhow, I don't want to be in a SUV so those choices are out.

    Absolutely the Prius....you guys will enjoy the quiet moment together for one, and it'll make for a much more memorable photo/moment to reflect on in the years to come. You'll show grandkids that photo 30 years from now and it'll be something really special to talk about and reflect upon with them.

    I suggest you and your bride take your Prius and let the rest of the wedding party use a Limo or other transportation.

    What rule is there that everyone needs to ride in one car.

    I am proud you passed on the stretched Hummer. They are butT ugly.

    I want a full hybrid. I want to be able to pull into the reception in full electric mode with engine shut down.

    I am picky even if there isn't many choices. :D

    Evan and you have me convinced about taking my Prius. Wouldn't it be weird in a black car? I thought white is only used for weddings.
