Love it!!!!!!!! That's so cool!!!!!!
And how many millions of dollars to buy all the post-it notes?
lol thats cool :thumbsup2:
lol, not sure, but cant be too bad when you compare it to all the shaving cream, saran wrap, watermelons, balloons, and everything else usually bought for the other way... at least the post its are reusable... to some extent! or at least-a lot more so than a run-over-watermelon-rind :)

Wait! Wait! Wait! ................................................. Watermelon?
why yeah... LOL. If you put a half a watermelon rind under their tires... they cant go anywhere... they will just spin out if its done right... Or so i hear anyways... :)
Well, what do ya know? That's a new one on me! :laughhard:
hey sis we may have to try that at the next GP wedding :laughhard:
make sure you put it on the tires that are the driving tires! It dont do much good to put it on the front tires when its a rear wheel drive! lol! just a hint... from umm, someone. !

Quotemake sure you put it on the tires that are the driving tires! It dont do much good to put it on the front tires when its a rear wheel drive! lol! just a hint... from umm, someone.
The rear wheel drive cars are as extinct as dinosaurs. I would rather have rear-wheel drive but can't find many unless I get a classic.
hmm. wonder if you can special order a rear wheel drive?
I didnt realize they were extinct already. BOL- show's you that the cars I have been driving are not all new huh? lol!
You said it, I didn't so don't hit me. *Sis ducks* LOL
Um, Not sure if you can find one or which company may make them. Four-wheel drives are around.
I don't like front wheel drive for many reasons. One, you can't turn as sharply with it, and I was in a spin out once, where I had very little control over the car because everything was up front.
I hit black ice and the car started spinning. It was a hatchback wagon that was pretty full of luggage. We were taking a short trip to Minneapolis at the time.
With a rear wheel drive, you have some more control. But with front wheel drive the rear of the car was fishtailing and started the spin and I had very little control. So we ended up in the median. Someone pushed us out the other side and we went on our way. But I felt totally helpless with the rear of the car going every which way and not being able to do anything.

Just keep in mind, 1.) you have no clue which car will be used, 2.) both cars will be there, and 3.) if a car is going to be left in the parking lot with "stuff" on it, you'll need to get the pastor's permission to do that, and I have connections with the pastor and really strong connections with the senior pastor. So there. :P:
Isn't there a verse about "thou shalt not touch mine anointed ones vehicle"? :biglaugh:

I think somebody's just not paying any attention to what I'm trying to say here. Make that somebodies. :roll:
I think I know 3 kids that need to be grounded. :up2:
Ok, think about it. You go to all that trouble to "decorate" a car, then the only people that see it are people in the parking lot because the car doesn't leave the parking lot for a couple of days and we get voluteers to go clean up before we need to take it out on the road. So you've put all that effort into it for nothing. right? :grin: Seriously, I don't think anyone would get any enjoyment out of it whatsoever. Think of all the other fun things you could be doing.... all the people you could be meeting, but you might miss meeting someone because you are trying to mess up a car. See? Doesn't make sense, does it? right? :grin:
just cause you have a limited time for meeting people dont mean the rest of them are going to leave when you do! they could have a "party" and get to know everyone else... and you would never know! BOL! and besides... pictures are worth it! just cause they wouldnt see it on the road... they would see it on GP! so there! hehe!
I give up. :roll:
Bro. Dad, do you have a preference in colors of post-it notes? :grin:

And really, truly, I think that decorating a car is a waste of time and effort. A simple "Just Married" in shoe polish on the back window is enough for my taste. If I were to ever do that, thats all I would do.

I will sign it, not sure about Tricia or Justin....and Im going to talk to Jason...I want him to ride up there with me, and maybe we could do something to help him fly back.

Not if you had all of GPland working on it. :bigcheese:
But you wouldn't want to do the windows. If you do, then they would have a built-in excuse not to use that car.
Also: How long will post-its hold up on the road anyway, ya think?
Be sure to get some of the smaller ones for the back window so you can spell more words than "Walt."
Maybe spell out something like "twitterpated" or something.
:hypocrite:
I wouldn't drive the car anyway if it was me, because my luck is generally bad enough that just as I started driving off with my bride, the post its would blow away and I'd get pulled over for littering. :biglaugh:

the more toilet paper, means the longer the marriage will last.. :smirk2: lol jk
Why? There's more stuff to wipe away the crappy experiences?
LOL!
Maybe it was the way my Mom always reacted to things like that, but I think I would feel completely disrespected if someone did that to my car (the way Dina's was) on my wedding day. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if I'd be good at keeping my feelings about it inside, either! The post-it one wasn't too terrible, but to walk out to a trashed car that I had to struggle to get into while I was wearing the most expensive dress that I'd ever owned in my life... Ugh. That just makes me feel awful to think about it.
Of course, I generally don't involve myself in any practical jokes because of those feelings. I don't want the "favors" returned to me, and I pray that people take those types of things into consideration.
And I pray that I marry someone who hasn't been actively involved in creaming and TPing other people's cars at their weddings. lol
I think the car has been decorated at every wedding that I've ever been to, just some worse than others.
*nod* But "decorating" - IMHO - doesn't include obliterating the windshield so that you can't see, or obstructing the entrance to the door, or making it so that the car isn't drivable. *shrug* Just my opinion for what it's worth. Other opinions may vary.
True "decoration" should be pretty, as the word decoration implies, and a wedding getaway car should reflect the fact that the couple got married among friends who were happy for them on their special day, not bent on revenge for whatever pranks had been pulled on them in the past. When a lady walks out of a church feeling the most elegant she has ever felt in her life, it just seems that the car should at least SLIGHTLY match the way she feels.
Just my :twocents: about how I feel about MY wedding. Others obviously feel very differently. And like I said, I think some of it has to do with how I was raised.

That's how I felt when I read about Mexican restraunts having the nerve to smear whipping cream over someone's face. I KNOW I wouldn't hide it. I'd walk out.
The same about wedding cake. I don't know when the tradition turned so ugly, but it was the tradition for the bride to feed the groom a piece and the groom to do the same at the same time. This smashing cake in each other's face is just totally tasteless and could ruin the dress if enough of it was used. Some people have no class. :rofl:
Yeah... I really hate it when people smash cake in each other's faces. I feel like, "whoa, that marriage got off to a good start!"

:laughat: Never thought of it that way! :rofl:
My brother, his best man, and I guarded his car so well at his wedding that I think my SIL was a bit disappointed when she found out that it might not even get decorated at ALL. lol We hadn't planned anything for the car, so I was out at like midnight the night before the wedding getting soap and streamers and balloons because he finally just flat out asked her if she minded it being decorated. I think her response surprised him a bit, and the best man ended up doing some basic tasteful decorations and writing "just married" on it in soap.

I saw a wedding where that was really the case. Apparently they hadn't discussed it in advance, and the bride got angry when the groom was being playful and smashed it, and she walked out. The poor groom just looked stunned. Yes, it was an indicator of the tone of the (now-ended) marriage.
And I agree with the custom of feeding one another as a symbol of the fact that you will be serving one another, but the custom (as many customs that have to do with God and marriage in America) has been really turned on its ear in that it's become the "cake-smashing ceremony" instead of the opportunity to show your love for one another and the fact that you will lovingly serve one another simultaneously for the good of both of you.
*Hugs* Elona because she thinks that way too.
:beret:
/me hugs ruby because she thinks that way too.
Maybe I take life too seriously sometimes, but to me, a wedding/marriage is a sacred thing--a gift from God--and there's no need to make it crude and/or crass. I like seeing people happy and having fun at weddings, but most pranks I've seen played at weddings get carried WAY too far. *shrug* And the cake thing... yeah, the smashed cake thing has always made me cringe.
:beret:
Well, if thinking like you posted is "taking life too seriously" then I guess I take life way too seriously. lol
I've always wanted a church service for my wedding: a true time of asking for the blessing of the Almighty God upon my marriage, not a time of creating a string of funny moments or practical jokes to make everyone laugh (or feel sorry for that poor couple who has friends without boundaries). Yes, there will likely be humorous moments about my wedding, or things that will make people smile, as well as moments when things will go wrong that we can laugh about, BUT I really don't want other people planning elaborate practical jokes or little "surprises" on my wedding day. It would be like practicing a solo song for a big youth convention. If you're not asked to sing, then it's likely not appropriate.
If I don't incorporate certain traditions into my wedding, it's likely because I don't want it there because I've researched the origin and don't feel that it would glorify God, or because I feel that it would distract from people feeling the presence of the LORD in the wedding (yes, there are even things about the reception that I would like to remain focused on God instead of it just being a party atmosphere).
*steps down off my soapbox*
You may now continue with the regularly scheduled car decorating thread. I really don't have anything against decorating the car. lol I just think things like that can go WAY too far.
I really like that pink bug...
