What the heck, your Mum is right, but it's your day - do it!

For what it's worth, my wife & I had planned to have a bike ride with our cyclist friends on the day before our wedding. Of course it rained all that day, so we did had a shorter 67k ride on the tandem on the morning of our wedding instead.
Great Fun!

My experience is that Mums all want the daughters to be married in sartorial elegance. They all seem to want to continue the fairy tale that is life and beyond of matrimonial bliss. And good on them!

But it's your wedding and if your beau is on the same page go for it. Make sure you're lycra is washed..... Will you be at the reception in your kit? I reckon it's great.

The last time I got married (yeah - twice) we pushed the envelope a bit - we got "the Gods Squad" to marry us and had a cycle themed wedding - the guests were astonished and amazed.

I have met a couple from USA who are touring around the world on their bikes. The got married in Las Vegas; The cycled up to the drive through chaple on their own bikes, completed all the formalities, then left on the tandem.

Or there's an Indian styled one around the corner from me you may be able to borrow. The orig owner imported it for precisely this purpose, his own wedding.

Personally - I don't see the need for lycra. Semi-traditional dress, which is cycle friendly. That's classy.

I like the idea of leaving on a tandem. It's cute, quirky, and a little bit insane, which is what I'm going for.

Same reason I'm seriously leaning towards the Lycra, you know. If you're going to go there, you may as well to all the way.

I do have a distinct, riding-with-normal-clothes-when-possible bias... so yeah. Sorry.

Tandem - very nice symbolism. (Esp if its YOURS!) :D

Primal Wear's women's cycling jersey that looks like a bridal gown -- complete with butt hat.
Does this count?

last time I did that ( yep also twice!).. it was on a beach at sunset

sunset, before that on a yacht ( same bride, we just needed to get the relo's from OS a year later to the day)...well on a beach, Indian style, barefoot in a Sherwani wedding suit and all, even the PJ pants...... we didnt need transport, we all met at the beach, and then after the ceremony, walked with the crowd to the reception at a beachfront rest'nt... they carried our cool lanterns and even a didge playing ( as yanks like that stuff)...
bottom line...do what you want... its your day, if you both want that .... cool, the relos can just fit in!... well that was our view... they loved it BTW...
