I drive a Ft Myers Limo here in southwest Florida. And to claim that driving for a wedding is interesting is a major understatement. I have seen it all. From the one or two weddings that started on time to the weddings that started hours late. Like I claimed, I have seen it all and now I will impart to you some of the exciting times I have experienced so you can also enjoy.
As I said, I have only driven for 2 weddings that were on time. One was a pleasant beach wedding in Naples and the other a strict Catholic service. The beach wedding was possibly only on time because the marriage party had to get an authorization from the town and it only allocated a specific amount of time for the ceremony. Get in and get out, or you lose your opportunity. I noticed the Catholic ceremony ran pretty much on time mainly because whenever things started to lag the organizers and priests appeared to become rather annoyed at the holdups.
Now it is the other weddings that create amusement for me and make the monotony well-spent. I get paid no matter how long I am waiting, it is yet another job?but the following hilarity is priceless.
We?ll take for example the bridal party that was running an hour and a half behind schedule just a few months ago. Mind you they only rented the limousine for 3 hours. Well, the initial half of the rental was gone with me just bored at the pickup point waiting on them to come out. Eventually they were prepared and now they needed to get hitched, take everyone to the beach for photographs and then return for the reception. No problem, in an ideal world. Except the time needed to do all of this running around was at least a 3 hour window. Not the hour or so they had remaining.
I was scheduled for another run later that night, and I just could not accommodate their late start. I flat out told them that no matter where we were when time was up, I had to drop them off. I didn?t have the time to wait. I ended up turning down a few hundred extra dollars that was offered to make things go smoothly for them. I did not like to do it, but I had no alternative. Other bookings were already made.
By the time I got them dropped off and was able to clear out the limousine, wipe the down the glasses and drive to my next run I had a complete 5 minutes to spare. As a favour to all limousine drivers, please plan in advance. Next time you hire a limousine remember there are other folks who need to live the good life as well , don?t bogart the ride.
