Default Going To Smokies...

Heading to Pigeon Forge tomorrow, going to get Married in the C5 at a drive thru. hehe.. Middle of he week, I dont know if anything ges n during the week, but I know there was a vette gtg last weekend down there..My gal is great, she loves the vette and riding in it..encourages me to mod stuff..life is good..

Update: Were back.its a done deal.altho the drve thru didnt work out. the grouchy lady at the place said she couldnt take our picture if we did a drive thru because she has a $12000 (um..ok) camera and it was drizling out side, I asked her to use mine and she said we cant do that..I just kind of stared at her in dis beleif..and we left, found a chapel that had a sign out front that said "Walk ins Welcome" the rest is history. Over all very good time, 6 hour drive down, rained almost all the way..and the whole time we were there..and all the way back..didnt make it to the tail..//not the dragons tail anyways..

My new bride.

raining raining raining(dirty)

The guy driving this A-4 tried to hit on my wife, but she said the vette is funner..lol..

cuz its not all there..

I got married in Gatlinburg at "Cupid's Chappel of Love" & had a corvette wedding. There where 28 corvettes in the parking lot & we had a blast. the only thing I was wooried about was these corvette people finding out where we spent our wedding night.........luckly they didn't .........

Good Luck.

Congrats! Glad she likes the Vette. From Gatlinburg drive south thru the Smokey Mtn. Park, should be good color now. South end of park is Cherokee so drop by Harrahs and feed the slots for a little additional fun.

Go drive the Dragon's Tail at Deals Gap.
The scenery this time of year is awsome. We drove it last October.

no one on this forum that's been married long enough has even tried to talk you out of getting married ?

oh well one more victim of love falls , at the drive thru this time
congrats , and have a great time
and whatever you do , don't feed her wedding cake . It is documented that it causes a sharp decrease in a woman's sex drive for as long as the marriage lasts

Nothing like some good pics where you it. (Just some good-natured kidding, here)

Congrats have fun there. I was there last week on vacation. JUST A WARNING: you will have every tree lover in the country there driving about 10 mph looking at the trees. I was driving a 34ft motorhome pulling a envoy going up and down them hills at 10 mph that sucked. Don't do anything you shouldn't do, and if you do name it after someone here on the forum.
