A wedding is an almost unique event in people's lives, and for many, arriving at the ceremony or reception in a special car is essential.
For almost everyone, planning a wedding is one of the most stressful tasks of their life, especially for those who put so much expectation on the party, as on the meaning of starting to live with someone else and projecting the future. Perhaps that is why the wedding trip is so important, to de-stress.

The just married poster and a car. The journey begins and stress is behind us, but some do it in very strange vehicles
However, some people start that process earlier. On the wedding day, on the way to church, or at the end, on the way to the party. They do it with a short trip by car, which takes out some of the tension generated by the big event.

And that car cannot be just any car. It has to be something special, and according to taste and pocket, it can be anything from a large limousine to a Volkswagen Kombi. But there are truly striking cases that are worth telling.

American Dream, the longest limousine in the world, built in the 90s
# 1 The longest Limousine in the world

It was built in the 90's, it was based on a platform from a Cadillac Eldorado, but only that. The car was shaped like the nose and the windshield and the front windows, but nothing else. It is the car registered by the World Guinness Record as the longest in the world, with its 30 meters, 24 wheels, and two V8 engines. Inside it had all kinds of luxuries like a suite with a water bed and several living rooms, but it also had a pool in the tail, which when covered could function as a helipad.

 

For many years it was rented for weddings, always in the vicinity of New York, and if it had to be transported, it could be divided into two sections to be loaded onto two beach trucks to transport it. It was a true eccentricity with an approximate rental cost of about $ 10,000 a day. In 2012 it was discontinued. It was abandoned on land in New Jersey, and in 2014 it was bought by a restoration house, with the promise of returning it to its original shape, but only to be displayed.

# 2 Volkswagen Kombi 1960

This English company offers a trip to the ceremony in one or two classic Volkswagen vans from the 60s. The units are identical and can be used to go the bride and groom separately to the ceremony in the church, or together to the reception afterwards, while the second unit is used in that case for the family.

The idea of the service is to create a vintage atmosphere for the wedding, with a driver dressed according to the time and a service of drinks and sweets on board, to liven up the trip and the eventual wait to enter the scene of the celebration.

VeryVip Cars is the name of a company in Madrid specialized in renting exclusive cars from a brand called Hurtan Automobiles.

Eccentricity touches certain unexpected limits. In Brackley, England, a company called TankLimo.com has built a witty business from war tanks discarded by the army. They can be rented for all kinds of experiences, and it will probably be an unforgettable and very interesting experience.

# 9. Learmousine

Finally, something that few would have imagined, and as extravagant as it was, did not work. It is a company from Óregon, USA, that built this Limousine from a fuselage of a disused Lear Jet aircraft.

The wings were removed, but the tail was left, and it was equipped with underbody defenses to be able to have the homologation to circulate on the streets with total normality. Inside, the setting is more like a nightclub than a limousine, but for a while, seeing as it wasn't for sale, it was rented out for some weddings. Between the price and the low interest, it was left off the market and is now a collector's item stored in a hangar.
