Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Betty Lou and Tarah hold a pretend wedding for their stuffed animal collection in the yard. After they count them to make sure all 19 are present, Betty Lou almost stops the wedding when she sees that the bride and groom bears have different-colored fur, saying she's heard some people say that brown bears and white bears shouldn't get married. Tarah assures her that color has nothing to do with how people love each other, as does Carlo. Elmo stops by and joins the others as they have the ceremony. Carlo ends it by singing "Naranja Dulce," which is beautiful enough to bring a tear to Elmo's eye and inspires him to get married someday.
