Tacky Getaway car?

Megan, on June 19, 2017 at 4:28 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 11

My finance is 43. In his younger days his other friends married and he... joined in the fun making the getaway car look tacky. I don't mean silly, I mean like condoms and.... such. I am totally against this. But he can't bring himself to tell them to tone it down bc he said he will feel bad bc he didd it to them in the past. Anyone having similar issue or know of a decent way to handle this. I don't want my 4 yo daughter to see all of that, nor my friends children and little cousins. And honestly I don't want to see it either.

    Omg lol I would just tell them straight up it's not appropriate because there's going to be kids. Good luck with that

    How old were they when they did this? I would like to think they would have matured enough to move on from that kind of behavior!

    I think you need to have a talk with FH .... that is not appropriate and he should say something ahead of time if you won't be comfortable. It is your wedding day, and that is a bit much. It sounds like a bachelor party stunt.

    Eww no, especially not with kids there. If they want to write "just married" in chalk paint or something, whatever, but it definitely needs to be appropriate if your daughter is going to be there

    Tell them straight out absolutely not & it would be totally inappropriate for the children to see. They are grown men & should be more mature than to do that stuff, especially with children present. If they keep it clean, like just married or cans, that's fine otherwise no way. Your FH needs to be straightforward and firm with them. If he's not, then I would be. Theyre 40 something years old. It's your wedding day & you don't need that embarrassment. Good luck!!

    Haha yeah, tell them it's a no go. Or leave in an uber and don't give them the option. If you are leaving in a town car or limo, be clear with the agency that people may be planning this and to watch out. You could also tell your husband that you will be liable for all damage to the car, which is probably true. This may be enough reason for him to talk to his friends.

    Maybe skip the getaway car if so concerned about it, i think the getaway car all dressed up is a thing of the past. Havent seen it in a very very long time.

    I think maybe you could tell them that kids will be present & you don't want them seeing that. I think a good way to handle it would be to say that you just don't want to see the inappropriate stuff but, if they still want to do the silly stuff, that's ok not, condoms, etc.. Maybe you should look into other options. Getting rides there & getting picked up by a limo? Just a suggestion. ETA - words

    My DH did the same to his buddies cars when they were younger and his pals got married. I told him if anyone did it I would take a separate car back. People literally die from car wrecks because of the obstruction of vision the "decorations" cause. I am revolted by the whole thing. It was a huge selling point in getting a badass classic car to take us from the venue. Smiley winking
