Family Rhyme Time

My sister recently got engaged and, as my aunt pointed out to us, has fulfilled a prophecy about the man she will marry.

It goes like this.

My Dad (David) has two sisters, Janet and Donna. This is the list of them and their spouses.

David and Mary
Janet and Darry
Donna and Larry

Well, if that isn't weird enough for you, my sister (Erin) and I have two cousins, Clark and Jarred. This is the list of us and our spouses along with Erin's fiancee.

Jeremy and Karissa
Jarred and Melissa
Clark and Karen
Mark and Erin

The CRAZY thing is that we discovered this as Karissa and I were talking about marriage and looking at engagement rings in Thanksgiving of 2001. Erin didn't even know a guy named Mark!!! How crazy is that that we have a rhyming family now! I think its one of the signs of the end times.

Comments:
My Dearest, Loving, Kind and Thoughtful, OH MY GOSH I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST BLOGGED THAT, Son.

I hope you've spoken w/ Chuckie about significantly increasing your term life insurance since your post on Friday. If not, pls do so poste-haste. I'm sure our wonderful D-I-L, Karissa, would appreciate it as would our two grandcats and our granddog.

Hmmm. Why, you ask? Because when your, "Mom, Jeremy just.........", Leggo-throwing, Spottsville going, leaf jumping, snow fort building, creek wading, pole losing, catfish catching, Bible Drilling, Hendo-ing, Passion Participating, newly engaged, peg-legged sister finds out that the whole blog-o-sphere is now in tune with one of her most sacred secrets ...........

You're gonna be so busted. Duck and run, buddy. That's all I can offer; just duck and run.

Talk to you soon. I Love You, Son.

Oh father, if you only knew...See the thing is BROTHER is that lucky for you the Lord has instilled in me this overwhelming ability to give out grace. and you my friend are in need of a heaping helping. Ya know i mean i guess it's not so bad except for the fact that you and karrissa tried to take credit for something that I "your amazingly forgiving sister" discovered on my own. (probably b/c i'm a freakin genious). so at least if you are gonna post something about this and embarrass me to the high heavens give me credit. and hope that the next time we see each other dad is around to protect you...unless karissa and i talk and she would like some of that life insurance money ;)
 
It seems your poetry would still work with another name since Karen and Erin rhyme. It seems Mark and Erin should be ordered Erin and Mark since all the other patterns have the blood relatives listed first. But it's still pretty cool. Not too many families can arrange their names to rhyme. And Clark and Mark rhyme too.
 
Erin,

I apologize for not giving credit where it is due. You did think of this (even though you misspelled genius), and I am sorry. I beg your utmost forgiveness.
 
Maybe you should consider Ashlee's comment. What if Erin is really destined to name a guy named Darren? (Rhymes with Karen.)

She would then have the novelty of the family rhyme, plus rhyming with her husband's name.

Erin, do you know anyone named Darren?

Sorry Mark, this is serious stuff.
 
Yes, I came here looking for a salty planet... the one I have right now is too bland. Where is this so-called "salty planet" you speak of?
 
Just wanted to say that I love you and that I hope you would have married me even if our names didn't fit into the family scheme.

And for the record, Erin, I never tried to take credit for the idea! You know how Jeremy can be!
 
I have to say as perplexed as I was by the previous picture I liked it MUCH better than the current one!!! Karissa, can you please give him some direction before we have to take pictures in
August? In spite of it all, I am still proud of you!!!
 
Just out of curiosity...were you listening to that bo-bana fo-fana song when you blogged this?

-K Mobb
 
You sir, have been tagged
 
Here is a rhyme for you.
I go to Jeremy's blog every day.
Wondering if there is something new he has to say.
He must be busy with his activity.
At least he does not have negativity.
Although it would be fun to read something new.
We will give him grace because he has a lot to do!!!!!
 
From your dad and your aunts and uncles all three couples have one name starting with a D.

Jeremy and Jarred both start with J. Clark and Mark rhyme and Karen and Erin rhyme. Jarred could by called Jarry(Jerry) and Karissa could be called Kary. Then all of the names would be intertwined and very confusing.
