The little old schoolhouse had a chalkboard, so it only makes sense to have something cute written on it. And this old school yard chant fits the bill, in the way that most songs that include the word "wedding" get played at weddings. So, I understand why it was chosen by whoever put it up... the wedding planner maybe, probably the woman who owns and rents out the farm.

Still, seeing it for the first time, a month or so later in our wedding photos, Sarah and I both found it a little annoying. The "then comes..." is at least presumptuous if not downright ominous.

The again, the ellipses at the end includes more than the traditional three dots. The dots keep going. Maybe someone was suggesting that the amount of time was negotiable.

Maybe you can fill in your own ending. Then comes... lots of adventures together? Then comes... the part where everyone bugs us about having kids? It happened at my wedding too -- my mom dropped some super obscure hint, followed by "hint hint". Utterly annoying.

we actually just got married last weekend, and literally within 30 seconds of the ceremony, the priest says to me in tamil (my indian language) "have two kids within a year. a boy and girl. twins."

luckily marie doesn't understand tamil...

Then comes...a boatload of money from all of those in attendance?
