Marriages

MARRIAGES 

Governor Gerry Brown  marries Amanda Rice
She becomes Amanda Brown-Rice  -  look!   
David Soul and  Marguerita  Cook?  She’s become  a Soul-Cook 
Stephen Fry and Amanda Fish  --  the Fry-Fish  couple  -  nice!

One of the Brothers Grimm married a girl called Betsy Reaper
Soon she was a Grimm-Reaper to be seen.
He’s Mr. Black.  She’s Ms  green,  now turned Black-Green,
A close friend of John Windows-Peeper.

Going round to visit the Bird-Trappers  tonight?
No honey, thought I’d pop in and see the Trouser-Wetters.

NOTE

All these unusual surnames  really  exist  and many more besides;  and the 
trend to double-barreling names sometimes does produce funny results .
