D.W.: Hmm.... Arthur: Last week, she married the toaster and the blender! And she spend all last night looking for Aunt Jessica and Uncle Richard, who are coming to stay with us. D.W.: (gasps in excitement) THEY'RE HERE! THEY'RE HERE! (The Reads welcome Aunt Jessica and Uncle Richard into the house) Arthur: The big day is almost here! But with it comes..... Aunt Jessica and Uncle Richard: HI! The Read Family: HI! Cousin Cora: HI! (runs into the house and crashes into D.W.) Arthur: Cousin Cora. Cousin Cora: D.W., it's beautiful! D.W.: I decorated it for..... Cousin Cora: Just for me?! The flower girl?! D.W.: No, for the wedding. Cousin Cora: Well, after all, I AM the flower girl FOR the wedding! D.W.: (gasps, and then glares) Cousin Cora: (gasps) Uh oh, D.W.? Where are you going to sleep? D.W.: Huh? D.W.: Do you wanna play dolls? This is Madam Curie. Cousin Cora: Does she wet? D.W.: No. Cousin Cora: Does she have a bikini? D.W.: No. Cousin Cora: Does she tan? D.W.: No, but she's an inventor! Cousin Cora: Ugh, that's baby stuff! Besides, I don't have any time to play. I have to get ready for the wedding. D.W.: But the wedding's not until tomorrow! Cousin Cora: Maybe, but as the flower girl, I have A LOT to do! The wedding can't go on without me! Pantyhose, from the junior department! D.W.: I have a new purse and it has 31 pennies inside! Cousin Cora: (gasps) HALF INCH HEELS! DEODERANT! D.W.: Huh? Cousin Cora: And see what Aunt Lucy gave me for being the flower girl? (D.W. is amazed by the locket and wants to see it) D.W.: WHOA! Cousin Cora: Don't touch it! You can't touch it! It's real gold! Cousin Cora: (gasps) NOW LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! (cries as she makes her way downstairs towards Aunt Jessica) LOOK WHAT SHE DID MOMMY! Aunt Jessica: You poor thing! D.W., you shouldn't play rough with Cora's locket! D.W.: But I didn't do ANYTHING! Cousin Cora: YES YOU DID! YOU RUINED IT! Jane: Time for bed, you two. (Cora sleeps in D.W.'s bed while DW herself sleeps in a sleeping bag) Cousin Cora: Mommy, can I sleep with you? I hate this room! The awful colors hurt my eyes! Aunt Jessica: (kisses) You're just tired, Cora. You need your sleep. You have a VERY important job in the wedding tomorrow! Cousin Cora: That's right! I do! D.W.: Mom, can I have "beodarent"? Jane: (giggles) In the morning, honey. (The next day, church bells are ringing from the distance) D.W.: (wakes up and realizes that today is the wedding) The wedding! (laughs as she runs out of the room and heads downstairs) WEDDING DAY! WEDDING DAY! IT'S WEDDING DAY! David: Huh? D.W.: IT'S WEDDING DAY! (lands on Jane and David) Jane and David: (grunt) D.W: (giggles) Jane: Here you go, but be careful. You can practice with this. D.W.: Why can't I carry the ring? Arthur: You're too little. And besides, everybody knows the ring bearer is always a boy. Jane: Ready? (plays "Here Comes The Bride" on the piano.) Arthur: (walks while holding the ring) D.W.: Don't I get to do anything during the wedding? Jane: (stops playing) Arthur and your cousin Cora are older than you, sweetie. You'll get your chance when you're older. D.W.: There must be something that I can do. (thinks a little) HEY! (hums "Here Comes The Bride" and runs over to the garage, but trips up Arthur). Arthur: WHOAAA! D.W.: (rides her tricycle over to the wedding cake, stands on her tiptoes and attempts to put the bride and groom piece on top of the cake.) David: D.W.!!!! (puts D.W. down and escorts her out of the house) D.W.: I thought you wanted the bride and groom on the cake. David: Please, just go out and play, D.W.. D.W.: BUT I WAS JUST TRYING TO HELP! D.W.: (holds a powder ball) Your nose looks a little shiny, Aunt Jessica. Here. (hums "Here Comes the Bride" again, and then accidentially puts the powder ball right on Aunt Jessica's dress) Aunt Jessica: D.W.! D.W.: Oops.... Aunt Jessica: (kicks DW out of the room) D.W.: I was just trying to help. Uncle Richard: (hums "Here Comes the Bride" while shaving his face in the bathroom.) D.W.: You need some more shaving cream, Uncle Richard. (holds a can of shaving cream) Is this the right button? Uncle Richard: WHAT?! D.W.: (sprays the can right on his pants) Uncle Richard: (gasps) GRRRR! (sends D.W. out of the bathroom) D.W.: I was just trying to.... (door slams) (Later, a delivery man with flowers arrives. He rings the doorbell) Jane: Thank you! Hmm.... THE FLOWERS ARE HERE! (Everyone is getting ready for the wedding.) Jane: A boutonniere for Arthur.... Where's Cora? Cousin Cora: HERE I AM! (notices a flower crown) MY CROWN! D.W.: (sniffles and cries) Cousin Cora: Oh, isn't it the most beautiful thing you've ever ever seen? DW (in disappointment): What do I get? Jane: They're only for people who are in the wedding, sweetie. Aunt Jessica: Doesn't she look wonderful? Take her picture, Richard! Uncle Richard: (zooms in the camera and snaps a photo) D.W.: Why does Arthur gets to sit in the front seat?! Arthur: Because I have an important job to do. D.W.: Maybe I'll have an important job to do. Maybe Cora will get sick and I'll be the flower girl! Arthur: Shh! I'm trying to concentrate! D.W.: On what? Arthur: On learning my job. Stand up straight, tuck in my shirt, fix my tie.... Grandpa Dave: (greets some relatives) Well, here they are! D.W.: GRANDPA! HI GRANDPA! Grandpa Dave: Well Holy Moly, how's my little sweet pea? Cousin Cora: I'm here everybody, I'm here! Grandpa Dave: Well here's our flower girl! Doesn't she look cute as a button, D.W.? D.W.: (glares) Grandpa Dave: Come on Cora, we have to get a few pictures with you and the rest of the wedding party. D.W.: (scoffs angrily) (Aunt Lucy is having her photos taken. She makes different faces for each photo) Photographer: (gets a group photo together) Okay, let's see a big smile from everybody! Okay, say, daaah! Are you lost, little girl? D.W:. NO! I'M NOT LITTLE AND I'M NOT LOST! Jane: Come on DW, it's time to sit down. D.W.: Aunt Lucy, next time you get married, can I help? (The whole wedding party laughs. Then the wedding procession begins.) D.W.: When I get married, I'll take anyone who wants to help if they can! (Arthur and Cora proceed forward) Cousin Cora: Remember, if you make a mistake, you'll ruin the WHOLE wedding! So watch it! Arthur: (gulps, and then walks) Cousin Cora: (throws flowers as the congregation looks at her in awe. However, one flower hits a man in the head.) D.W.: Here comes Arthur. He doesn't look very happy. He's talking to himself! Arthur (nervously): Not too fast, not too slow. Cousin Cora: SMILE! Arthur: WHOA! (loses balance of the ring as it flies in the air and lands in the pipes of the church organ). D.W.: WOW! Grandpa Dave: Okay, alright, don't have a conniption, I got it under control. Just gotta do a little fishing. (sticks his hands in the pipes, but gets stuck). Whoops, got a little stuck there. Isn't that the darndest thing? Uh, let's see here, um... anybody got a little bear grease? (fingers come loose) I think I can wiggle out. WHOA! (his hands come loose, falls off the organ and lands into the husband) Organ Player: (opens the side door of the organ) If someone can fit in here. Arthur: Let me try! (approaches the organ door, but his head gets stuck and pulls it out.) Grandpa Dave: Sorry Arthur, you're too big. But Cora, maybe you could give it a shot. Cousin Cora: (gasps, then disgustedly closes the door). NO WAY! IT'S DIRTY IN THERE! Can't they just get another ring? Aunt Jessica: That's right, Cora, don't you worry sweetie. You don't have to go into that filthy old organ. Aunt Lucy: WHAT'S HAPPENING?! D.W.: How about me? I can do it! Grandpa Dave: Atta girl, D.W.! DW: (gives Arthur her purse) Please hold this, Arthur. (opens the organ door, but then becomes worried) Uh oh. D.W.: (valiantly crawls inside the organ, but then gasps. She then sees the organ, but accidentially puts her hand on a big pipe) Aaaah! D.W.: (coughs as she's covered in dirt, grabs the ring and crawls out of the organ) The ring! Cousin Cora: (scoffs in jealousy) Arthur: D.W., you carry the ring! You found it, you deserve it! (the flower crown is put on her head) Cousin Cora: But... she.... Aunt Lucy: Cora..... Cousin Cora: Oh alright! (The wedding procession is now nearing the end) Priest: I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride! (Aunt Lucy and her new husband kiss) Aunt Lucy: Thank you D.W., we couldn't have done it without you! (kisses her, then the photographer takes the picture) Everybody: Bye! See ya! Best of luck! Good wishes! Have a good trip! D.W.: IF YOU LOSE ANYTHING, JUST CALL ME! (hums "Here Comes The Bride" as the limo drives away). (END)
