Clucks and Smooches

Inspired by Miss Pomegranate’s nifty kissing menu idea, I thought I’d share what we required of guests who wanted to see us kiss. We refused to give them a show…unless they did …
THE CHICKEN DANCE!
(Mr T and a groomsman flap their wings at the after-party)
Since our dead music meant no actual (much-anticipated!) Chicken Dance, I’m glad we still got to include this tradition in some way. It definitely kept smooching demands to a minimum– only the aforementioned groomsman was man enough to play chicken for the assembled crowd.
Anyone else going with a decidedly unusual method of kissing request?

We demanded haiku. Hilarity ensued.
It dissolved into trash-talking between table 4 (our work friends), table 9 (his cousins, the pre-designated “party table”), and table 1 (the parents). I only remember the last line of most of them: “next time it’s their wine” was one, and “we have the rum punch” was another. Then table 1 busted out with
having the rum punch
does not a champion make:
parents dominate
Smackdown!
Ha, cute! We didn’t do anything special here… people clinked on their glasses pretty regularly tho :-).
My Mom suggested to my fiance and I that we put all the couples names on a aslip of paper, and when someone clinks and wants us to kiss, we draw a couple out of the bowl and they also stand up and kiss.
Cute idea! Perhaps another item on the menu??
@emily: Ooh! I like that idea as well!
@baderin: What a great idea!! Everyone in your photos seems to be having SUCH a fun time with it.
Cute idea!

About Me: In all my dreams of the man I'd someday marry, I never pictured anyone as perfect for me as Mr. Tulip. So now we just have to make it through the craziness of the wedding and the moving in together! I love crafts, sewing, jewelry making, and photography, so am looking forward to this chance for DIY fun. When not wedding planning, I'm playing with our dog and 4 cats, Ebay shopping, or watching too much TV (often simultaneously!).
Hilarious! What a great picture. I wanted to think of an unusual kissing request protocol, but it was totally one of those things that I dropped at the last minute, when I ran out of time and creativity!
