Truck & Driver's wedding of the year

| 6 Comments | No TrackBacks

Last Friday's marriage of T&D editor Will Shiers to Meredith went off successfully, including the novel choice of wedding transport. The bride chose a 1949 Bedford OB charabanc, while the groom and both best men arrived in the T&D 25th Anniversary Actros from the Mercedes-Benz used truck programme (SHAMELESS PLUG ALERT) which you can win for a year in the latest issue.
