Now that the wedding is all said and done
We still can't believe we had so much fun
The guests made the do
So we have to thank you
For making our day in the sun

To thank our guests we have written a limerick for each
of them. Although the time seemed to fly, and we hardly had
time to spend with anyone, we still found a moment when each
of our guests spurred a little memory.

These are the subjects of the following limericks

Deidre

It was D who found us the make up chick
Who on first pass was a bit of a hick
But on the day
She proved her way
Five more gorgeous BMs I couldn't pick

Jim

There was a great groomsman called Jim
Who worried his wife wasn't with him
Still he got a laugh with a telegram
About the best man on the lam
And poor Sarah tripping on a tree limb

John

At our wedding John was elected best mate
In the speeches he played it straight
But 'twas to no avail
On the stag he did fail
And as a groom he has sealed his fate

Meg

My Meg is a dream wedding coordinator
She even did her chores as the boat waiter
In green she was stunning
To be Aunt Mary she's too cunning
As a bride in '02 I totally rate her!

Oliver

Message to my Girl took quite some convincing
Oliver just chose to sing through the whincing
But when it came to the shirt
His opinions were curt
And his words came out without mincing

Randa

My chief bridesmaid is called Randa
On our wedding night she took care of Panda
She kept me calm
And away from harm
My thanks for her love I must hand her

Sam

This is the story of young perky Sam
Who proved to her doctors that cancer's a sham
She came to our beach
And gave a blinding speech
And caused Aunt Sarah to "HOLD THE HAM"

Siobhan

Siobhan was Liam's grooms maid
Wearing a skirt a little bit frayed
But when it came to her hair
Put it up Bindy wouldn't dare
This island princess danced and played

Jenny

Quite the year of planning it has been
Boats and an island - she wasn't keen!
But when all was said and done
Jenny had the most fun
On the dance floor she was the Queen

John

John couldn't cope with his unmarried daughter
Get off that shelf! - he told her she oughtta
At last she did find
A bloke that was kind
And John got a wedding on the water!

Anna

I'm lucky to have my big Sis
The Jenny cyclone she helped me to miss
But when I asked her to speak
She had a minor freak
And thanks to Skipper gave it a miss

Shane

There once was an MC called Shane
Who'd moved into mid life crisis lane
The audi is hot
But a Beemer it is not!
But his talent for speaking shows he is sane

Rachel

Rachel offered some sound advice
After the church the wedding is nice
And while Mum was quaking
She started bouquet making
With local weeds at half the price

Pete

Shane and Pete had revenge in sight
When they took Liam and Ol out for a big night
With Ol feeling sick
The victory would be quick
If Pete hadn't been found tucked in tight

Rose

My flower girl was called Rose
When it came to the dress she nearly froze
But when the chips were down
She threw on that gown
And led them down the aisle tapping her toes

Jo

There was a grooms boy called Jo
There were no lengths to which he would not go
On the night it is said
He wore his outfit to bed
And would he take it off in the morning? NO!

Milton & Bobby Poll

We're pleased that we are able to say
That Milton and Bobby shared our special day
It was a big deal
To have family at this meal
So we thank you for coming to the Bay

John & Ali Robb

We will always be grateful to Ali and John
For hosting us all at the "Jock's place Salon"
The champagne did flow
And the nails they did glow
And Bindy made our hair look tres bonne

Bindy Robb

On the day I needed to be a beauty faker
Thank God I had Bindy as my chief image maker
She ended my quest
To find simply the best
Even though those roses Jenny didn't take her

Sarah & Graeme Coxhead

Sarah and Ali exuded their powers
In creating for us such original flowers
In the church it was hot
But whither they did not
No they stood strong and proud for many hours

Sam & Katie Coxhead

At last I got to meet the new Coxhead Kate
That morning I had nerves for my afternoon date
She told me to be calm
And stay out of harm
And arrive at the church a little late

Nicole Byers

Its been ages since I caught up with Nic
But her reply to our invite was the most quick
On the boat she had a wish
And caught a big fish
So I'm pleased to say she's still quite a trick

Jilly Caldwell & Grant Mawston

Jilly certainly wasn't late
The day we got to meet her new date
She shook him to the core
When they hit the dance floor
Proving to us he's the guy that we rate

Grant Coe

We're very thankful for Doctor Coe
To our wedding in Russell he did go
When Vaughan's scabs did ooze
He prescribed to him booze
And it kept him from hitting a low

Grant East

Gruntee came to our wedding day party
For once he managed not to be farty
Instead to be dirty
He removed his shirty
On New Year's Eve when he looked quite tarty

Glenn Foulds

That Glenn came to our wedding is a really big deal
In Sarah's eyes he is keeping it real
But if Gina had come
He mightn't have looked so dumb
When he carried his flax kit from the meal

Glenn Foulds & Andy March

After the best man b ought glasses for two
The bridal party were wondering what to do
So to maintain
The flow of champagne
We have to thank Andy and You

Liza Gotsch & John Pigram

Even though John turned up in a denim jacket
Liza looked like the full packet
Paihia might be quaint
But Rodeo Drive it aint
So they left cos they couldn't hack it!

Lucy Gould

Lucy was the girl taking all the snaps
In between popping bottle caps
She didn't do a runner
When they said she looked a stunner
With her new hair do and shoe string straps

Rhys Guild & Jan O'Neill

Rhys and Jan came to the Bay
To help us share our special wedding day
We knew we'd done fine
When Rhys liked the wine
And had enough to take a roll in the hay

Jen Lubrani

The hot American chick was called Jen
She went on the boat trip with the hens
She said she was tired
But next to us she was wired
When she danced up a storm with the Kiwi men

Andy March

That Andy March is a pretty good bloke
He came to our wedding and drunk all the rum and coke
When he held his flax kit
He looked like a git
But Glenn looked even worse - that's no joke!

Tony Marks & Denise De Silva

We are lucky to be able to say
That Tony and Nise shared our special day
A trip he had planned
Until it was canned
If only we'd had more time to play

Vaughan Matthews

Good old Vaughan lent me his car
And helped to get me pissed at the bar
But when he hit the road
The effects really showed
I hope it doesn't leave him a scar

Craig Oram

I have a friend called the Prairie Dog
With a huge capacity for drinking grog
He came to the Bay
To prove he wasn't gay
But never even got to give a snog

Alyssa Padia

The day she celebrated her birth
She came to a wedding of romance and mirth
The church was bloody hot
But the chocolate hit the spot
So she bought out more candy than she was worth

Nic Parton

My brides wittier friend is called Nic
She susses out people she meets really quick
When I have the itch
She's great for a bitch
Because between us we don't miss a trick

Ken Robinson & Jo Hudson

We're sad to say that Ken and Jo
To our wedding couldn't go
But of them we did think
As we had a strong drink
To be sure they were kept in the know

Lauren Schechtmann

Lauren couldn't decide between pants or a frock
To help her prove that American women can ROCK
She took the kiwis on
But those locals party strong
And she was last seen departing on a boat at 10 O'Clock

Norm Thompson

The great speech was given by Norm
Just before the kids danced up a storm
I have to give thanks
That he didn't pull pranks
And instead was in fatherly form

Jane Walshe & Dave Earnest

We finally got to meet the famous NG
She brought him to our wedding for all to see
Even though he is hot
A private motel it was not
Their antics could not be so wild and free

Bridal PartyBuxton FamilySarah FriendsO'Hagan FamilyLiam FriendsO'Hagan Friends

Mary Harris & Barbara McIntosh

They're the original bridesmaids of Jen
Who always score ten out of ten
Whatever the event
For support they are sent
The standard they have set for my hens

Colin & 'B' Blackmore

He still looks young enough to be a rugby winger
But NO! That Colin Blackmore's a famous bell ringer
I'm so lucky I could see
My second Grandma "B"
As the groom placed the ring on my finger

Trish & Dick Davidson

For Liam and Sarah it was quite a kick
To have you share our day that went quick
We hope you can say
You liked being in the Bay
And cheers for the gears Trish and Dick!

Liz Douglas

Thank goodness for Liz and her video reel
For those times in our lives that are a big deal
Even though she couldn't run
She seemed to have fun
To the kids she had all the appeal

Anya & Russell Hook

Anya's the woman who we really trust
Cos our wedding on the island was really a must
She made the right call
Jamie could host a ball
And her roses left the florist for dust

Louise Lawson

Where would we be without Louise
For a Buxton fun time she has the keys
Only she knows the signs
To keep the admiral in line
She threatens him with her nobbly knees

Diana & John Nimon

That you came to our wedding is a really big deal
Jen and John wanted your company during their meal
Now we'd like to say
Thanks for sharing our day
You added to the friends of family feel

Renee & John Ogilvie

Renee and John were on to a win
When they found a nice little B and B inn
We now wish to say
Thanks for sharing our day
We look forward to trading stories over a gin

Euan & Min Sarginson

We knew we were onto a win
When we signed up Euan and Min
The shots they did take
Our memories will make
When we glance at them fondly over a gin

Bishop Ben Te Haara

We're so lucky we had Bishop Ben
He told us what to do, where and when
When the Bride filled with nerves
Good advice he did serve
His Mana you don't see in many men

Diana & Donald Yates

It wouldn't have happened without Donald and Di
A full Yates collection to complete the family pie
We hope you had fun
On our day in the sun
We thank you for being part of our high

Joylyn & Dick Yates

For Liam and Sarah it was quite a kick
To see that we'd scored a Yates hat-trick
What more can we say
Thanks for sharing our day
And cheers for the gears Joy and Dick!

Anna & Philip Yates

The first thing I knew was Anna had taste
A wedding in the Bay she had planned with Grace
We hope that our day
Was worth a trip to the Bay
At least the weather this time kept its place

Clare

The mother of the groom was called Clare
With beautiful feathers in her hair
Her naughty little tunes
We sang them at noon
The day after those two became a pair

Mary & Sara

The first two nights Sara and Mary
Partied long after the rest were weary
But they hit the wall
On the biggest night of all
And left the reception on the first ferry

Shonagh

Here's to my cool new sister in law
Who's great taste in shops comes from the core
She was nearly too late
For the boat trip with my mates
But she had some great moves on the dance floor

Lucy & Simon

Lucy and Simon got quite a kick
Out of not sending to us a limerick
But they did have to pay
Under pressure on the day
And Simon whacked a great one out quick!

Christy

A better choice there could not be
For a grooms boy than the O'Hagan Christy
He wore his outfit
And still he did sit
And unlike the groom didn't need a nervous pee

Glen Usmar

My nephews have a father called Glen
He really is a rarity among men
Because he sees fit
To simply baby sit
While the mother's party on way past ten

Patricia Ford

Her heart once tried to say "enough"
But Tweese is made of sterner stuff
During the wedding return
Sharp eyes did discern
Her sneaking off for a sly old puff

Graham Ford

The stag night the groom was thinking fuzzy
Decided to shoulder charge his cuzzie
Across the crowded bar
Into a big Maori fella
Lucky he wasn't Jake the Muss, eh?

Diana Ford

When Graham played with his little Sis
Her stroke makin g he was quick to dis
At the net his approach
To her balls was to poach
We three smiled when his volley did miss

Margaret & Frank Darroch

The Graham spouses have shrank
But Margaret still has her Frank
Moustache nice 'n trim
But not quite as slim
For his presence we really do thank

Peter Darroch & Peter Trapski

Cousin Peter found a bottle of single malt
The contents of which he did assault
Realized it was the groom
Who'd left it in the room
He tried to pass it off as Trapski's fault

Matt Darroch

Matt offered something stronger than grog
To lure Caroline into the ships bog
Caught with lips together
Left the groom asking whether
It was an elaborate deception after a snog?

Iosefa Family

Seeing Leua by Eddie game me some hunches
When I tested him with two beefy punches
In order to feel
Who had abs of steel
And who'd eaten too many business lunches

In the special cloth the alter was dressed
By Peseta our union was blessed
With the service complete
We pray that our feet
Had not left the tapa trampled and messed

Bridal PartyBuxton FamilySarah FriendsBuxton FriendsO'Hagan FamilyO'Hagan Friends

Felicity Anderson

She came to the Bay to see us wed
But she also had other plans in her head
It started at the Duke
The décor she rebuked
But will she leave the hotel for dead?

Zara Bowmar

Zara and Sarah went to the same school
But Sarah hid from Zara cos she thought she was cool
Then Liam said Wait!
She's a bloody good mate
But Sarah said NO! She must be a fool!

Camilla Butterfield

My bride was pleased to finally meet
My great old mate from Peverel Street
But among wedding ructions
There's barely time for introductions
So a trip to Vegas is needed to complete!

Louisa Cleave

When she heard single chicks abound
Hopes rose that a fling could be found
But when no fancies were tickled
She slowly got pickled
Until in wine her frustrations drowned

Aaron Frank

The Frank boy was no L.A. flake
Both engagement party and wedding he did make
But when it came to dance
He really took his chance
And re-invented the art of the break

Andy Gerrard & Meiko Sadamitsu

As for my old mate the Sift
He sent the motel lampshade adrift
But the stag night trouble
Had wedding day double
When lost, he called the groom for a lift

Anthony Jones

There was a fellow of entrepreneurial bent
Always busy thinking of ways to pay the rent
For other things he was late
But he was prepared for our date
Which has to rank as the ultimate compliment

Caroline Jones
Caroline Jones could not be hipper
On the girls night out she hit on the skipper
With him she would sail
Even into a gale
Till she discovered his dick was just a nipper

Kirri Lynn

We have to give thanks to the 2 sisters Lynn
Who signed up to drink a few out of the tin
For if the girls had lost
It would have come at a cost
But NO their speed guaranteed a win

Chris Mitchell

Chris was the last person Liam did see
When he returned to the church from his last minute pee
Chris sat in the row
By the window
A view from which he could have charged a fee

Minna Ruski

There was a girl with Scando styles
Who went to a wedding in the Bay of Isles
She did maintain
The flow of champagne
And hence many bubbly smiles

Ann Skelton & Andrew Ward

In our student days Ann used to be wild
But at our wedding she was meek and mild
When I asked her why
There was a glint in her eye
And she told me she was with child

Michelle Sutton

Here's to the lady from DC
After many days travel this was her plea
"Let me go to bed"
But to the wharf she was sent instead
And told to go party out at sea

Audrey Cotter

From Hackney came Audrey Cotter
To experience a Christmas that was hotter
Share in the fun
As we wed in the sun
And to leave her boys to potter

Jetty Doesburg

Jetty went to write her limerick
But her naughty son got in too quick
I guess it wasn't gorey
But he told quite a story
Make Jetty seem like she was quite the trick

Peter & Jane Gordon

In planning our wedding service
We asked Peter if he'd be so nice
To find a story of love
Which then got the shove
To make time for Johnnie's parting advice

Jan & Jack Hamer

Initially our wedding was going to lack
Mum and Dad's friends Jan and Jack
But our invite's effect
Was to make them reject
Their earlier plans and start to pack

John Jeffries

'Twas great to have my father's best man
Discussing the lines Jardin once ran
In the dressing room
With the men to the groom
A ritual that generations did span

Sue Jones and Gordon Brander

Gordon had to reschedule a ship
So he and Sue could make the trip
Ignored the first ferry
To dance and make merry
Among the 50 pluses they were most hip

Barbara & Finn McKenzie

For a party they will sign on quick
Barbara with her trademark lipstick
Stories from Finn
Are told with a grin
Who cares if they're late with limerick?

Suzanne Shand

It was not something we had planned
But many guests remarked that Mrs Shand
In their memories helped stir
Days with Antonia and Fleur
And how those Rangi years weren't so bland

Peter & Katie Skelton

John asked Peter if he would please read
What amounted to a marriage creed
On life he did reflect
That to have an effect
The couple should hurry up and breed
