Pro-tip in case you're unsure:

  • "Mary" is pronounced "Mary".
  • "Merry" is pronounced "merry".
  • "Marry" is pronounced "marry".

You're welcome.

    • Mary rhymes with fairy.
    • Merry rhymes with berry.
    • Marry rhymes with carry.

    Maybe this is a whoosh on my part, but for people who pronounce all the Mary’s the same, they tend to pronounce all of those words to rhyme as well.

    So ferry rhymes with fairy?

    Edit: Is ferry is pronounced the same as fairy?
