The Important Book for the Bride To Be
By Room 220
Sue's friend Becky is getting married soon, so all Becky's teacher-friends had their classes do little projects for her. Amy's 1st grade class did structured paragraphs of what can only be described as brilliant prose. The ensuing levels of cuteness and sincerity had even this embittered wench blinking back the tears. (And admiring the fact that they have much better handwriting than Billi.)
For instance...
The important thing about a bride is she is beautiful. The bride has a white dress. She has gloves. She bride has a crown, too. The bride likes to dance. The bride dances a lot. But the important thing about a bride is she is beautiful.
The important thing about a wedding is sometimes they may kiss. They dance the conga line. The children play childrens' games. We eat cake. They throw money all over. But the important thing about a wedding is sometimes they may kiss.
Is that not the sweetest thing you've ever read?! I have to go brush my teeth because they feel so fuzzy!
Of course, you're always going to get the little diva with the ulterior motive...
The important thing about a flower girl. The flower girl throw the flowers. The flower girl is a very hard worker. The flower girl wears a dress that is red or blue. The flower girl gets a present to ride in a limo.
I think someone is gunning for a position in Becky's wedding party, eh, Katrina...?
Hmmm. I think Achmed's parents may be a little right-wing.
The important thing about a wedding is there's a man and woman getting married. There is a wedding cake. They throw flowers. There is food to eat. But the important thing about a wedding is there's a man and woman getting married.
Adam married Eve, not Steve, right, Achmed? I'm actually for gay marriage myself, but I do wonder who the hell is going to do all the housework in that situation.
I'm sure this one is Becky's favorite...
The important thing about a wife is she has a baby. She has to take care of the baby. She cooks the food. She takes of the family. She cleans the house. She has to clean everything. She works all lot. But the most important thing about a wife is she has a baby.
Well, Becky, you might as well just kick off those strappy espidrills and get in the kitchen right now. Your life is over, if little Juan has anything to say about it.
Of course, this one is MY favorite...
The important thing about a husband is he sees a girl that he loves. He marries the girl. He can ride her to her house. He may kiss her. He could dance with her. But the important thing about the husband is he sees the girl that he loves.
He can ride her to her house?! Give that child an A+! In twenty years, he is totally going to be my fourth husband.

Not to disappoint you or ruin your fantasy, Wenchie, but in the translation from Spanish, I'm sure the little darling meant DRIVE her to her house. You know, in a chivalrous way.
