Mr. and Mrs. Qu

by oboreruhito, concerning the matter of Words

How did you learn phonetics in school? Did you get the letters that formed them hitched?

The choir began to sing as (Q representative Seth) Reid and (U representative Danni) Baham walked down the aisle, covered with a white runner with Qs and Us written all over it by students.

“Here comes the Q, here comes the U, put them together and they form Qu. Qu, Qu, Qu, Qu! Qu, Qu, Qu, Qu,” the student choir sang to the tune of “Here Comes the Bride.”

“Do you, Mr. Q, take Miss U to be her partner and form words like quiet, quail and question?” (paraprofessional Marie) Guzzardo asked Reid.

“I do,” he replied.

“Do you, Miss U promise to stand by Mr. Q to form words like quiz, quilt and quarter?” the minister asked Baham.

“I do,” Baham replied.

Guzzardo presented the couple as “Mr. and Mrs. Qu,” which was pronounced as qua, to the audience. Reid and Baham then opened gifts left by other students. The young couple did not receive money, toasters or blenders but question marks, a quilt, a quarter and some quartz crystals.

The couple nodded their heads in approval when asked about their wedding, but they had their first disagreement of their marriage minutes after tying the knot. Baham nodded her head and said she liked everything about the wedding but Reid offered a different opinion.

“Nothing,” he said when asked if he liked anything about the wedding.
