... as someone in (soon to be) MrsT family works for Aston Martin. They regularly get to borrow them as company cars, lucky git!

Anywho they very kindly offered to get a Rapide for us, to use as our wedding car 

So we went for a look at one locally, as pictures showed back seats looked interesting and not sure it would be practical. Nice chaps at Aston dealer let us have a good look over it, it's nice but it's not practical for a wedding car, my head rubs the roof lining and even I have problems getting in the back seats.  Shame really 

Also, even though I was in the 3.2, I had the distinct impression that I had the crappest car in the car park

As you say lovely motors,but not really practical wedding transport

You are looking for luxury limo, not a sports car.  In fact, the Elite would polish up nicely

I had a blast in a Vantage last year, what a hoot, right up until the point a scared myself witless (it was "rather damp", and the thing started going sideways at high speed), after which I toottled round enjoying just driving it.

How about a fluorescent lime green VXR8 as your wedding car, be the first,and probably the last ....going down a storm on prom nights tho'

You will go a long way looking for a better looking and more practical wedding car than your Omega.
Last Autumn I collected daughter Catherine's 2.6 at the High Wycombe meet to MOT it. On the way home I called on stinking rich old school friend Mike Smith at Cookham Dean. I found a big house, big garage, and outside it were parked  a Range Rover, a Porsche, and an Aston Martin. I parked my Omega alongside them, see pics. Judge for yourselves which is the best looker, and would make the best wedding car.

Omega makes a lot of sense,thinking  nice shiny dark blue Elite, bonnet ribbons,flowers on the rear parcel shelf,can see it now job's a good 'un

Sounds like a business opportunity for you Ken. Your fleet offers discreet(the blue one), through bright(the red one) all the way to Essex(the noisy slime green one)

And congratulations on your imminent nuptials, Mr. Tunnie. May your wife make you happier than my wife has made - if possible.
I am surprised any member with 33000 posts is young enough to contemplate marriage, but I see from your profile you are.

He will always be the useless student .

I bet Uncle Rupert writes that on his appraisal every year

Don't do it, Tunnie

Have some class man, Mrs Tunnie won't want to be whisked away in a bloody Omega.  It's their special day and the car will feature in the photo's. They'll show people their wedding photos and people will think they got married in the nineties. 

Hmmm, shame our convertible's gone, I could have offered a freebie chauffeur job for him and his good lady.
