Default Something not normally present at a wedding

Have a close look and you may spot something familiar which you'd not normally expect to see at a wedding ceremony.
I should point out the bride is my lovely daughter Katie, and the wedding was yesterday November 7th 2009.




This pic was taken with my iPhone which is why it is a bit fuzzy.

If you'd like to see more wedding pics have a look here. The title says rehearsal which is where it started but I've added the wedding pics too.

Besides the grill, would it be a happy groom??

Default But why????

It's from a Chev, right? Usually they use Ford ones for this sort of thing.

Just wondering, what was she saying that required such protection?

Perhaps so too. I was completely unaware of the reason Katie wanted to borrow it - I thought she wanted to use one for a BBQ grill so I was both touched and surprised to see it there as part of the ceremony. Of course had I known I would have gone the usual route and used a Ford grille.

Congrats to the bride and groom Keith. Does it make you feel older when your daughter gets married?

Thanks very much guys!

And yes, I hadn't seen it like that - does this make the Chev more heavenly than the Ford?



Big question indeed.

Good eyes, Bob! I couldn't pick it!

Default Congradulations

Hi Keith

Strange how these CMPs just seem to be part of the family, when we were gathering up photos for a photo montage for our son’s wedding last summer we discovered that their more pictures of the kids in and around the trucks over the years than almost any other category.

Very nice of your daughter to recognize that part of your family as well, our best wishes and congratulations to the young couple.

Cheers Phil

Default Ford V8

What a fantastic time was had at the Webb-Nott wedding, I had the tough job of driving the bridesmaids too the wedding in a 1934 tudor ford that I borrowed of a good mate Doug. We did offer Katie the CGT & FGT but she wasn't so keen. The Girls were delivered in real cars and ever with the temp into the mid 30's it was a lot of fun.
Hey Keith, one down two to go.

Default Interesting that 34 Ford

What I noticed about the 34 Ford other than being beautiful was the left hand drive. Was this a US import?

As a teenager (1960s) my brother and a couple of our friends restored three of these as daily drivers.

The photos of the wedding were great.

Cheers Phil

The '34 was an import from Michigan I believe. The unique thing about it is it is in it's original 75 year old paint apart from a few touchups on the guards.

Glad you like the pics Phil
