1. Elephant
2. Horse
3.Decorate a M3 convertible with flowers to an extent that the car is piled undernethe.

I also like the idea of repacing M3 with F-150 truck.

Remember Topgear is your friend when looking how to arrive in style

then you got this one

Okay if they does not work how about a moped, since scooter was popular in India

Or you can arrive in the back of this, do not laugh it is built to beat royal wedding queues "https://www.eta.co.uk/2011/04/17/mobility-scooter-caravan-built-to-beat-royal-wedding-queues/

will need to wait until July for that.

Elephant is not an option. I would rather supercharge my car for that money.

I am asking various classis car forums in Connecticut for someone with a vintage Porsche 356 or Jag E-type.

We are not Indian but I have many many friends who are and I have attended numerous Indian style weddings in the SF Bay Area. I have to say Indian weddings are some of the most festive and we actually have the most fun due to all the music and dance

With that said, I understand the tradition to use a form of transportation but a lot really depends on the theme and style of your wedding. Personally I think if all your friends know you as the "car" guy then there's nothing wrong to splurge for an exotic. But is this the image you want to show in front of your friends?

I think being creative and having it tie into something meaningful for both you and your future wife is the most important. It will have much more value when you look back 20 years from now vs. just getting a random car because it's tradition.

P.S. In our wedding, we ended up using our NSX because of the targa top and the white/red color scheme perfectly matched our layout. We took a few memorable trips in the car plus she knows I love the car so what an awesome wifey! I can post a picture of the car decorated if you like but good luck and congrats on the wedding!
