The Wedding Limericks
Tim and I decided to break from tradition a bit during our wedding reception. Rather than kissing whenever our guests tinked their glasses with their forks, we announced that in order to get us to kiss, we would need to hear an original limerick, themed around one or both of us and our wedding :-)
Did that dissuade our guests from trying to make us kiss? Definitely not! We heard some fantastic limericks and I think everyone enjoyed coming up with their own as well as hearing each others. Here are a few, in no particular order other than the order in which I have the little pieces of paper piled on which they were originally written (authors - if I got you wrong, please speak up! And Sarah - I need your YMCA limerick ;-) )
You'll also notice a somewhat recurring theme... something about... fire? Pizza boxes? Fire Extinguisher? Ah... but that's another story!
There once was a bride, name of Heather. Whose laugh was as light as a feather. The groom's name was Timmy. He said with a shimmy, "I do Babe, let's stick close together." - Sir Vincenzo
You should not be bogged down with Zog!
We've known it all along!
Timothy and Heather
Together Forever
To Infinity and Beyond!
- Table 5, the "Buzz Lightyear" Table * (Gail, Phil, Sam, Kathy, Gretchen, Teresa, and Dewey)
There once was a woman who loved a roadie. He was such a smoothie, she told me. They danced all night, Never putting up a fight; They'll be together till they're oldies. - Miss Juan
A cry rang out in the night;
There's fire, pizza boxes are alight!
Hither and fro,
water didn't flow,
A replacement extinguisher made it right.
- Sir Rich
There once was a poor guy named Tim Whose life, though fulfilling, was grim. But then he met Heather And now in all kinds of weather He's chock-full of vigor and vim. - Dave
They've loved each other in several cities
They've sung together on several ditties
But what Tim loves the most
Something we'll all surely toast
Are her hair, her eyes, and her... cats.
- Dave (again!)
I once knew a good bloke, Worked hard, and was always broke. Long hair and a big nose, his life changed and smells like a rose, cause he's got a perfect match and I can't find a clean word to rhyme with MATCH. -Scott & Mark
There once was a guy named Tim
He met Heather and was living in Sin.
They were recruited by Bill,
Yet are together still,
And tonight, she married him.
- I think this one was Ross
There once was a man from nantucket, who had 7 wives and a bucket. I won't say the rest, I think that would be best, so Heather and Tim can look up it. - I think this was Ross too :-)
Kiss kiss, kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss.
kiss kiss kiss, kiss kiss, kiss kiss kiss
kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss,
kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss,
kiss kiss, kiss kiss kiss kiss, kiss kiss!
- Miss Jenn
Heather as we know is upbeat! And Tim is known to be neat! Heather, could you humor us please; Was Tim on his knees? When he asked you to make his life complete? -Sam
There once was a woman named Heather
Whose emails couldn't be longer.
And then came the distraction
A man who knows Action,
And the ops team couldn't be fonder!
- Gracie
There once was a woman who owned An apartment with a very nice stove. She kept pizza boxes in the oven, and one day set fire upon them, which explains the fire extinquisher her love one bestowed - a late entry from Davwill. We kissed anyway :-)
* Tim and I have a little tradition of taking a "self portrait" with our digital camera whenever we go on trips; we wanted to encorporate this tradition into our wedding somehow. So instead of numbering the tables, we printed the pictures out and framed them, and used them to identify the tables for the seating arrangements. The picture at table 5 was taken at Walt Disney World Florida, with... you guessed it... Buzz Lightyear!
