Chicago Celebrity Wedding Limos!

Celebrity weddings are cover stories for most magazines when it comes to having the most extravagant wedding. Just take a look at Kim Kardashian’s whooping 10 million wedding. Like most celebrities, Kim’s wedding was about the Vera Wang gown, $15,000 cake, the wedding limo, lavish gifts, the perfected guest list, and all the glamour to make the perfect big wedding. Alec Baldwin, an American actor who has appeared on countless film, stage and television, married Hilaria Thomas this past Saturday. However, Baldwin’s wedding was exceptionally different from the typical Kim Kardashian extravaganza. Before the ceremony, the couple was seen walking around New York City in plain jeans and a t-shirt. While rocking the casual wear, Alec and Hilaria were simply enjoying their day together as they prepared for the ceremony. After the ceremony, the events took a turn.

As paparazzi followed to take pictures of the groom, Baldwin snapped at the reporter threatening him to walk away, “You’re gonna walk away now. You’re not going to follow us.” The party of four stacked in a yellow taxi as Baldwin took the front seat. He hit his head on the roof of the cab, groaned and finally aggressively slammed the door. Alec was later seen attempting to catch a cab outside his apartment to go to the Lowell Hotel on the Upper East Side to spend his wedding night with Hilaria.

Baldwin did spend his day on the cheap, but was it worth it? Had he been celebrating his wedding in Chicago, Baldwin could have taken advantage of renting a Chicago wedding limo and would have had a stress-free day.

With many services to offer, the bride and groom are treated like royalty, without the cost of being one. The package includes a red carpet treatment, a “Just Married” sign, and your preferred color decoration around the limo. Inside the limo the wedding guests can relax and enjoy beer, champaign, water, and soft drinks. Most importantly, Chicago limos are ready to make your day the big perfect wedding you’ve been dreaming of. Forget about the time wasted hauling a cab and cramming into a small taxi, Alec! Treat your wife on your special day and book a limo in the Windy City!

2009 Hummer H2 SUV

We see Hummers on the road every day. There are different size and color hummers, SUVs with open roof, even Hummers, stretched into luxury Chicago limousines. But do we ever think why the SUV is so popular around the country and in Chicago?

Hummer is a brand of an SUV, which first appeared to the public in 1992. It was developed by GM based on the military Humvee model M998. The civilian version was called Hummer H1, and the side models were called H2 and H3. The H1 was still looking very much like the original Humvee, however, the H2 and H3 were smaller cars directed toward the civilian market.

Hummer was doing well until the 2008 economic decline. After GM went bankruptcy, Chinese manufacturers were trying to buy the brand. However, under complicated circumstances the bid was cancelled. By 2010, however, it was clear that no one repurchased the brand and the Hummer was discontinued.

The fact that the Hummer was discontinued was hard to Chicago limo services. The stretched Hummer SUV is the most popular vehicle among the wedding parties.
