Elite Limousine Services new venture for couple
given them "morc hang for their
buck:.
The difference in real estate prices
left them with enough from the sale
of their city home to realize the
dream of owning their own
limousine service, m a smaller
community.
The reason to go into their own
business was simple. Jim. who was
in automotive maintenance and
Carol who worked in the food
services industry said they were
"both tired of working hard for
everybody else."
A chauffeur business was a
reasonable investment. And said Jim
"everybody's smiling when we show
up and they're still smiling when we
leave."
In addition to weddings, Elite
Limousine Services is available for a
variety of reasons. Just use your
imagination.
The couple recently were hired for
a 14-year-old girl's birthday
party.
"We had cups and banners inside
the limousine. It's always well-
stocked. There's even a CD player
and TV/VCR for passengers
enjoyment. It's a thing people
wouldn't maybe think of for
themselves so it's nice to see it there.
It's a party on wheels," said
Carol.
The 1994 Lincoln Town Car
limousine will legally hold up to
eight people. The Bonhams said they
are willing to strike deals and make
proposals for each individual
situation.
For weddings the Bonhams will
decorate as per the couple's
specifications. For bookings call

Grooming
Your friend comes over to tell you
he finally proposed to his girlfriend.
Then he pops the question to you,
"I'd like you to be a groomsman."
Refrain from wrinkling your face
in disgust or confusion. Here's the
lowdown on how you'll help out
your buddy:
Pre-wedding activities: You'll
attend the engagement party and
rehearsal dinner. You'll help plan the
bachelor party and fend off the
bride's interrogations about the
festivities.
Attire: You'll pay for your own
tux. You can rent one but be sure to
get it fitted prior to the wedding.
Stress: You'll keep the groom cool
with some pep talks and male

ahead.
For weddings, however couples
would be advised to schedule
considerably earlier to guarantee
their luxury ride.
outings. Help make his day
memorable and stress-free by taking
care of anything he needs you to do.
The ceremony: You'll usher
guests to their seats, perhaps. Guests
will approach you with questions
such as the restroom location. You
may escort a bridesmaid down the
aisle. And of course, you'll pose for
photos.
The reception: You'll be
introduced to all the guests, perhaps
with the bridesmaid you escorted
down the aisle. You'll dance with
the bridesmaids or single female
guests.
The getaway car: You'll decorate
the honeymoon getaway car with
streamers, soap, shaving cream or
"I've only one car so if I'm
booked, I'm booked," said Jim.
The Bonhams moved to Brussels
from Kitchener in July. "Everything
kind of happened in a year. We were
married, sold our home and decided
to start a business," said Jim.
Saying they were ready to get out
of the city, moving to Brussels has

musical mix into the tape player for
their enjoyment. And check to make
sure the newlyweds' luggage is
stashed in the trunk.
