horse and carriage
Classic wedding conveyance
A horse and carriage is a wheeled passenger vehicle pulled by one or more horses—the standard mode of transportation before automobiles.
The phrase now evokes a bygone era of slower, more elegant travel: They hired a horse and carriage for the wedding.
The expression goes together like a horse and carriage describes things that naturally belong together.
