XJ-S as wedding car?

Any thoughts as to the practicalities of using an xj-s. Obviously the bride isn't going to get into (or out of) the back seat with ease or grace, although very small bridesmaids might. Would it be incorrect for the bride to sit up front?
btw, this isn't for a commercial venture just a friend who is getting married soon.

Hi Pop,
I guess it depends on how much of a Jag fan the bride is :D.
There's no elegant way for the ladies to get in or out of the XJ-S at the best of times. In full bridal kit, I expect it to be even less dignified, still everyone should get a good view of the traditional bridal garter :wink:
Having said that, I have known XJ-Ss to be used at weddings. The XJ-S does look good with a few wedding ribbons attached. Your white one should really look the part.
I guess the alternative is to find one of the Lynx estate versions, they really were four seaters.

I don't think anyone is bothered about the bride riding in the front these days. I saw a report in my local paper last year of the bride arriving in a DAF truck tractor unit. She liked trucks apparently :)

If the bride's happy, go for it.
Regards,
Glenn.

Hi Pop,

I took a groom (a friend of mine), to his wedding in my XJ-S, but this doesn't help you much does it. I got it all ribboned up.
