Bride and Groom Story

Item #5005

(September, 1987) Wedding bells are ringing for this Bride and Groom. The Groom is just now turning gray behind the ears, so he’s old enough to marry, and from the look of love in his Bride’s eyes, she’ll make him feel ever young. She is wearing “something old”—her grandmother’s wedding veil. Rosie has picked “something new” for the Bride—a bouquet of roses, though she had to step over Pete to pluck the freshest ones. The Bride “borrowed” a sixpence for her slipper from Tom Clark, and she leaves behind “something blue”—three rejected suitors, Johnny, Mugmon and Jeff. All of the acorns scattered around the base are couples. Mom has been in the kitchen all day, working with Sugar and Spice to bake the perfect wedding cake. As wedding presents go, this one takes the cake.
