Fancy Nancy and the Wedding of the Century
Fancy Nancy is thrilled to learn that her uncle is getting married. She is excited to go to her first ever wedding, and she is certain that she knows what to expect: it will be a lavish affair where ladies wear elbow-length gloves and dance well past midnight, and, most important, Nancy will get to be the flower girl, with a frilly, petaled gown of her own. But when Nancy wakes from her glamorous wedding dreams, she is dismayed to learn that her uncle is having a nontraditional wedding at a lakeside cabin at dawn&#x2014;and she doesn&#x2019;t even get to be a flower girl. Effervescent Nancy comes around, though, when she realizes that nontraditional weddings&#x2014;especially ones with pancakes at the reception&#x2014;can be just as great. Fans of Nancy will be happy to see the usual hallmarks&#x2014;her determined fashion sense, riotous curls, and expansive vocabulary are all on display&#x2014;and little girls coveting that treasured flower basket will learn that weddings are fun whether or not they get to process down the aisle.
