Pizza Puns And A Poem
Planning Caleb’s and Melody’s long-distance wedding rehearsal dinner proved to be a bit of a challenge for me. After checking into quite a few options (and much prayer for wisdom), we settled on a pizza “fun center”. Now I will admit, a pizza restaurant with laser tag and arcade games was not my idea of a nice atmosphere for a wedding rehearsal dinner. However, this place had exactly what we needed – a large, private room for our party of 70 or so people. So, you know what? I decided we would just go with the theme of “pizza and games” and have fun with it. (BTW, back in their courting days, Melody’s second visit to our house was a night of pizza and games :))
For a simple table decoration, Anna and I began gathering “fun pictures” of the love birds and adding pizza puns to them. I decided I would put a photo on each table, accompanied by a little poem I wrote. I found most of the puns online and Anna did all the photo editing. We had a great time matching the puns to the pictures – some just fit perfectly! And, when all was said and done, I think the bride and groom had a ball eating pizza and playing laser tag and games with siblings, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends. 🙂
Below is the poem followed by the pizza pun pictures. Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pizza and games – not a fancy fare;
Just a time to gather and “let down our hair”,
To spend time with family and that special one
Who’d found her way into the heart of our son.
Much food, more laughter – ‘twas quite a sight!
This would describe that January night.
But that’s not all that happened that eve.
Let me tell you just what we began to perceive…
Her joyful spirit, her servant’s heart,
Her love for Jesus, we saw from the start.
Her competitiveness (‘twas plain to see),
Her love for children – quite obviously.
This young lady who enjoyed laughing with us,
Why she fit right into our craziness!
Ah yes, ‘twas clear just why our son
Was completely smitten with this special one!
Yes, this special one – “Caleb’s girl” – Melody Joy
Had found her way into the heart of our boy.
But that January night of family fun,
Melody found her way into the heart of everyone.
Pizza and games – no, not a fancy fare,
But a time to gather…maybe “let down our hair”.
Won’t you join us this night? – a special night, I believe
For Caleb & Melody – on their wedding eve!
