Steve's point may have been that he would have to drive for 3 hours to get there. A fairly good chance of getting soaked/frozen.
Someone closer might get a better 'window of opportunity' don't you think?
I wouldn't have thought the groom would want to get to the church soaked through, so it would be 'weather permitting' surely.
Of course if you were to offer to do this favour, I'm sure you would be given first choice of the bridesmaids..................................
Even you two grumpy b'stards can find an upside to this if you try.
