Twas the night before New Years And all through the house, The girlfriend was angry She wasn't a spouse!

She hoped for the joy that Christmas would bring. But Christmas had passed, And she still had no ring!

They'd been together for over two years. Long-term commitment That must be his fear.

She thought, "That's the reason That I'm still single. I'm breaking it off! Then the phone gave a jingle.

"Come outside," said the voice, And then went away. She opened the door, and there was a sleigh!

He whisked her away, Grinned like a fox got down on one knee and opened the box.

T'was the first day of New Year Her eyes opened wide. "Yesterday, I'm a girlfriend. Today, I'm a bride!"

She started to panic "There's so much to do! To plan a whole wedding. What do I do?"

Then she remembered The Pink Wedding Book and the KCBA web site before she was engaged.

Her eyes, how they twinkled! Her smile seemed to glow! "I can plan everything at the upcoming Bridal Show!

Reception hall! Caterer! Florist and Tux! Save money, save time, and no acid reflux!

Video! DJ! Photo! Limousine & Gown! I won't have to be running all over the town!"

So she called her attendants to the shows they all flew. Ate catering samples and wedding cake, too!

And I heard her exclaim Holding prizes she won, "I found all that I need now my planning is done!"
