Wedding limerick

Well we're back from our honeymoon. 14 days of complete relaxation, doing nothing other than reading, drinking, eating and the bad thing ;) We got back a few days ago, and had to go back to work and all that boring stuff. Our pressies from John Lewis have arrived, and we've got the official wedding snaps now. Thanks again to everyone for coming. We've also got this special limerick from Lynn, penned on the way home from the wedding ...

There was a wedding party called Moor Who used the Internet to explore They found this fine site And to their delight One Moor became wedded to Law The bride, from a family near Reading Came all this way to the wedding One family was Law The other was Moor And she left under a new heading There came a fine family from Kent Who brought caravan rather than tent Filled with puddings galore Though we ate more and more With even Carl’s help we made barely a dent From Seattle came Missy and Rob They socialised with the whole mob In no time at all They knew one and all As helpers they did a great job From Nottingham hailed James and wife Jill Their wee Jonathan gave all a thrill He slept through loud noise From both music and boys And even when Matt said ‘I will’ From Northampton came Ed, Pip and Mick Plus Hugh who arrived nice and quick We all loved the cake Which star Mick did bake With slices so yummy and thick Pat and Dick from Northants nearby As Matt’s godparents they wanted to try To check on his girl At the barn dance whirl They gave approval with a loud cry From Bracknell came Hugh, alias Gramps Who was considered one of the champs He bought us pub beer Was always of good cheer ‘Cept when wakened by outdoor lamps To the wedding from Auckland came Lynn Her fascinating personality to spin That the wedding went well She regarded as swell Her next wish is the All Blacks to win Jill assembled a great wedding book At which we all had a look The hen night book too Done by Helen so true With saucy pictures that some people took Came family and friends, all the lot To help Beccy and Matt tie the knot We all played a part In the decorative art To be ready for 3 on the dot Later on came the butcher and baker Everyone but the candlestick maker The pig was well roasted A few guests well toasted And the band was a really good shaker The ex-Nottingham friends all joined in With much laughter and many a grin They helped make the day And joined Sunday’s play Which many tried hard then to win But as Best Man, James had a plan His speech made us laugh till tears ran He did everything right Until late Sunday night And that’s when the shit hit the fan The boys went to the Jockey for beer Emerging, no taxi was near They phoned newlyweds And got Matt out of bed Of Beccy they now should steer clear! Now this is the end of the rhyme Because we’ve well run out of time The guests have gone home You’re now on your own Until the next wedding bells chime
