The Wedding of Q and U!

Today we celebrated the wedding of Q and U!  K, my Pre-Ker is learning the sound "qu", so this was a fun way to cement in her mind that q is followed by u.  (My 1st grader could use the reminder, too, but we told him this was just for his little sister!)

We started with inspiration from this site:

I had invitations rolled up in scrolls that K placed on each person's desk.  They weren't allowed to open them until we were ready to start the wedding.  That helped build the anticipation and excitement.

After everyone had opened their invitations and read them, I whisked the bride away to get her ready.  Then, since we homeschool, and her daddy works from home sometimes, he actually got to walk her down the aisle to the wedding march that I found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tDYMayp6Dk

She met Mr. U and I used the script found at the above blog to officiate the wedding.

The wedding.

I now pronounce you, Mr. and Mrs Qu!!!

May you never forget to add a u to your q when you spell, again!
