Wicked Running Club

Will the wedding cake be topped with a startled cat in place of a bride and groom? Will the bridesmaids be draped in Wicked singlets, extra long to maintain the utmost propriety? Will the bride wear her new grey Wicked “hoodie” as she departs for her honeymoon? Will the groom sport Nike Air Max in place of shiny black shoes? Maybe it will be an outdoor ceremony on a Saturday morning at Forest River Park. Perhaps the reception will be held at the Senior Center, or, better yet, Winter Island Function Hall. Need to have it outside the city? Maybe it will be at Cody’s Brewery in Danvers. Will Chic-fil-A furnish the meal with some help from Bagel World? Hey Darla, can you get them some soup? Chip, you’re in charge of photos. Rich, you’re in charge of chasing down the groom in the event we have a runaway. The Touchettes will bring the karaoke machine. Dave from New England Running Company will raffle off a pair of running shoes. Mike Paige will be in charge of timing the event. Doug Bollen will guarantee the happy couple lifetime membership in the holy state of matrimony. And I just know the song for their first dance will be “Born To Run” and the theme for the honeymoon night will be “No pace too slow.”

Whatever the scenario turns out to be, it’s going to be a Wicked special day on October 3, 2009 for……………. Tim Short and Nicole Bevington! Congratulations, and I know I speak for all of Wicked when I say, “I wonder how long before Tim’s time devoted to Wicked will be sharply curtailed!” Best of luck, Tim and Nicole.

P.S: Of course, the happy couple reviewed and approved the above before publication, and for the record, Nicole states, “If his (Tim’s) time with Wicked has not been curtailed by now, it’s not going to be.”
