Who drives who to the ceremony and reception?

I have never heard of a tradition like that. I would politely decline and enjoy the alone time with your new husband on the ride over to the reception.

I've never heard of that. It sounds like your parents want to spend some time with you or maybe are having a hard time letting go. I'd ride with your hubby.

Do they want to drive you alone or you and your groom?

It's a DW but FH and I are renting a car for the 4 days we are in town. I'm the baby so yes they are having a very hard time letting go. My wedding is a real turning point for them. My MOH's bday is the same day as my wedding too and they keep on asking if I want to come back to celebrate that after the reception and I'm compromising by celebrating it with her after the rehearsal dinner.

@Tina- no just me. I've told them gently No though.

I rode with DH from the church to the reception. Before that, I drove my bridesmaids to hair and makeup and then to the church, we got dressed there, then one of the bridesmaids drive us from the church to pictures and back.

@Belle we are doing something similar except we are getting ready at my parents' house. Our church wanted us to get ready in the children's nursery- tacky imo.

I would think you would ride with your husband to the reception. Our ceremony and reception are at the same place so we don't have that issue. I'm driving me and my dad to the ceremony in my mustang since we both love mustangs. We're just gonna pull up to the aisle (outdoors) then walk on down the aisle.

I would think you could drive with your husband. I'm sure they don't mean negatively by it. I'd just thank them for the offer, and that you'd love to go with them to the ceremony but after that you would like to ride with your husband. I can't imagine a reason for splitting you up after the ceremony is over.

I could see if they wanted to drive you AND your brand spanking new hubby! But just you? nah... You will want to be with your man! Cute and funny of your parents

My parents drove me to the ceremony- rode with my husband to the reception.

Yeah no thanks.
