Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird and the Birdketeers practice saying "congratulations" in different languages, including "mazel tov" in Yiddish (Mr. Hooper taught Big Bird that one) and "felicidades" in Spanish. When Maria and Luis invite Big Bird over for dinner, he asks when they are getting married; they remind him that they haven't decided to do so yet. When Maria asks him what he is doing, Big Bird explains that it's fun to say things in different languages... and so that he can say it to Maria and Luis when they get married.

Now that he's already done it, he doesn't care if they ever get married!

 	SCENE 5 	At a candlelit dinner in Maria's apartment, Maria and Luis remark that the food is fit to be served at a wedding. Big Bird thinks they're getting married again, and they remind him that they're not and are just speaking hypotheticals.
