The show zooms out on the news talking about children mimicking what they see on TV. Then, [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] is shown attempting to do a Dark Bunny hop, with [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] offering pointers. The show is then put on the side when [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] introduces herself and informs the audience about how Arthur can't help but imitate what he sees on TV. Just then, Arthur interrupts and informs the audience that that's not what happens. He then switches to the real show.

Then [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] is shown attempting to do a Dark Bunny hop, which [[Buster Baxter|Buster]] tells the kick needs to better and sooner. The show is put on the side when D.W. introduces herself and tells how Arthur can't perform what he sees on TV. But Arthur comes up and tells that doesn't happen, they have to find out.  


After the title card, Arthur and D.W. bicker about their TV time. D.W. wins the argument, but the TV is tuned in to "[[Big, Fancy Wedding]]". D.W. quickly gets interested in the show upon seeing a bride, [[Mincey Poodlemeyer]], planning her dream wedding, and D.W. becomes enamored at the prospect of having an extravagant wedding herself. D.W. then goes to ask her dad if she can have a wedding. [[David Read|David]] agrees that she can have one when she's older.

D.W. then goes to [[Emily]]'s house, explaining she can have a wedding since she is older by one hour. She also wants Emily to be her bridesmaid. Inside, the girls begin brainstorming, and D.W. decides that she needs an onion so she can cry and a fancy dress. Emily provides D.W. with one of [[Marie-Hélène]]'s old party dresses, which D.W. loves, though it's too long for her. D.W. then lists the other wedding essentials: food, music, and someone who makes her say "I do" - which seems to be a major part of weddings. Seeing all the necessities, Emily wonders where they can find a palace.
D.W. then goes to Emily's house to do some planning, also noting that she is older by one hour. She asks for an onion so she can cry and a fancy dress. She gets a yellow dress with orange flowers, saying that it is beautiful and pretends to cry.


D.W. and Emily goes to [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]]'s [[Muffy's House|mansion]] to finalize a deal. However, they can only get a 1-foot space with $1. When D.W. mentions they need to host a wedding though, Muffy reconsiders. D.W. claims the wedding is for "Deangelinora Woo" ("Dee Woo" for short), as she doesn't want Arthur to attend, since he messed up at [[Lucy]]'s wedding. Muffy decides to become the wedding planner.
Emily proclaims that she doesn't need an onion. She goes listing she needs to say food, music, and someone who makes her say I do. She also said other things, including a big palace. Wait, ''where'' can they find a palace?


Inside, Muffy explains how every wedding needs a theme. D.W. wants a unicorn theme where "Dee Woo" will get dressed up and a unicorn will take her and Emily to the wedding; the ceremony will have a cake, music, presents, rainbows, just about anything "Dee Woo" wants. Muffy is impressed, and expresses that it is a hard job, so she gives them [[Bionic Bunny Walkie-Talkies]].
She goes to Muffy's Mansion to finalize a deal. But they can only get a space for a foot with $1. Walking away, D.W. said it was a wedding, making [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] reconsider. She mentioned that it was a wedding for "D. Woo". Well, she didn't want Arthur in.


D.W. and Emily get the wedding ring from a gumball machine, and have [[Timmy and Tommy Tibble|The Tibble Twins]] be the people who make D.W. say "I do". They initially refuse, until D.W. reveals that they can throw rice at the guests. Muffy then comes in, asking for the groom, which throws D.W. off. On a whim, she chooses the groom to be [[James MacDonald|James]].

Woo" will get dressed up where will a unicorn will take her and [[Emily]] to the wedding; the wedding will have a cake, music, presents, just anything she wants. Muffy said it was a hard job, so she gave them [[Bionic Bunny Walkie-Talkies]].


D.W. and Emily return to Muffy's mansion, where she shows them the invitations and design of the wedding, much to D.W.'s amazement. However, as Muffy is gushing over the celebration, she reveals that a wedding is a romantic affair in which the bride and groom commit to loving and living with each other forever; sometimes whole families live together. D.W. is shocked, since she was unaware of this. Emily hypothetically asks if the bride can call the wedding off, but Muffy insists that "Dee Woo" can't get cold feet, since the wedding is tomorrow.  
D.W. and Emily got the ring at a gumball machine, and got [[Tibble Twins|The Tibble Twins]] as the people who make D.W. say I do. Muffy comes in asking for the groom, which the girls choose it will be [[James MacDonald|James]].


That night, D.W. has a nightmare of James' family living with and always crowding her. After waking up, she decides to not show up for the wedding.
They come back to Muffy's mansion, which she completed the design and the invitations. However, D.W. discovers she has to love him forever, and live together, maybe their whole family will live together. That night, D.W. has nightmares of having James's family living with her. She goes down to watch Mary Moo Cow, but James switches it to the Shy Guy Awards. So D.W. plans to not show up after the dream was over.


The next morning, D.W. plans to spend the day with her dad, only to learn that David has been hired to cater the ceremony. When they arrive at Muffy's mansion, David tells D.W. to play with the other kids as he goes to the kitchen. Emily then comes over to get D.W. dressed up. The Tibbles confront James, telling him to get ready to "marry" D.W., much to his confusion. He runs off with the twins chasing him. Inside, D.W. is finishing dressing up when Muffy calls them, shocked about the number of children at the event and wondering where the bride is. Stressed, D.W. reveals that she is "Dee Woo", and wants the wedding to be called off, much to Muffy's surprise. Outside, the Tibbles bring James to D.W. and Emily. The twins begin throwing cooked rice, much to Emily's chagrin. The music starts, so it's time for D.W. to say "I do" to James. However, D.W. says "I don't", and runs off crying.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*'''4th Wall Break:''' The host of the news show in the episode's intro is a caricature of ''Arthur'' director [[Greg Bailey]], as this is his second appearance in this same position; the first time was in Brain's dream in "[[War of the Worms]]."
* [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] lied to [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] saying that the wedding is for D. Woo which she made up just so [[Muffy Crosswire|Muffy]] wouldn't tell [[Arthur Read|Arthur]] about it so if she didn't want Muffy to tell him about the wedding, then [[D.W. Read|D.W.]] could've just told Muffy that it's actually her wedding and not to tell Arthur.
*Shy Guy awards is a parody of [https://www.mario.fandom.com/Shy_Guy Shy Guy] from ''[https://www.mario.fandom.com/Super_Mario_(series) Mario]''
