She's getting married tomorrow?
- I think she did say that.
- Wow.
- I've been so busy.
I didn't even have time
To get a [indistinct].
- Whoa. She needs a cake.
- We heard you talking
On the phone, ms. Mimi.
That is so exciting.
- Why didn't you tell us?
- Oh, it's no big deal, really.
I've got to go.
I'm running late. Bye.
- Wait, what's his name?
- Mr. Chirpyface.
- Huh?
Mr. Chirpyface?
That's a strange name.
- But nice.
- This is so exciting.
Ms. Mimi is getting married.
- Ah, let's see.
The dishes are done.
The trash is empty.
There's nothing to knit.
Whew.
I can finally sit down
And enjoy some peace and quiet.
[Sighs]
- Ah.
- Hi, mum.
Hi, polly.
- [Giggles]
- So much for some peace
And quiet.
- I have really big,
Exciting news.
- We're having macaroni
And cheese for dinner?
- No, ms. Mimi
Is getting married.
- But I love macaroni
And cheese.
- Ms. Mimi is getting married?
Ah. To whom?
- Mr. Chirpyface.
It's a strange name,
But nice.
- Hmm, I've never heard of him.
- What does
Getting married mean?
- When two people love
Each other so much
They want to spend the rest
Of their lives together,
They get married.
- Um, like you and daddy?
- Yes, dear.
So when is ms. Mimi
Getting married?
- Tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
Why didn't she tell us?
- She said it was no big deal.
But it is, right?
- Yes, it's a very big deal.
- I knew it.
We need to make sure ms. Mimi
Has everything she's supposed
To have on her wedding day.
- That's right.
- Yes.
- So what are you supposed
To have on your wedding day?
- Well, she needs
A lovely wedding cake.
- Could we bake one, please?
- I'm sure she has one.
- No, she said
She didn't have time.
- Then she'll
Need flowers too.
- [Gasps] I have a flower
In my pocket.
She can have that.
Oh, it broke.
I know.
I'll glue it.
- So a wedding cake,
Wedding flowers.
What else do we need?
- I know.
Lets do a special wedding dance
For ms. Mimi.
That can be our gift.
Let's see.
We can start
With a pas de chat,
Or maybe an arabesque.
Ooh.
[Gasps]
[Sighs]
- Remember, angelina,
We need something old,
Something new,
But not something broken.
- Sorry, mum.
- What kind of music
Do they play at weddings?
That might help us figure out
What kind of dance to do.
- They usually play
Wedding music on an organ.
- Then we'll do a dance
To organ music.
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
What's an organ?
- It's like a piano,
But it makes a different sound.
- Here's the deal.
Organs make music when air
Whistles through their pipes.
So instead of going "plink"
Like a piano,
They go "hooo."
- [Giggles]
- Organs have foot pedals,
Like giant piano keys.
- Both hands, both feet--
Playing the organ
Is a lot of work.
- [Giggles]
- But where are we going
To get an organ?
- Your father's music store.
He has some organs there.
Go and visit him.
He'd love that.
- Thanks, mum.
See you.
- I'll start baking
The wedding cake
After a few moments
Of peace and quiet.
- Hooo.
- Ah.

- ♪ Hooo
Now let me try the pedals.
[Low organ notes]
