The most-awaited wedding ever (is it? nah, I'm being overly melodramatic)

Today's visit to the perfect line resulted in a treat - finally got to see Barbie and Ken getting married! I may have only owned one Barbie doll as a little girl (and that, too, I inherited from my elder sister), but I remember getting a Barbie picnic set on my 4th or 5th birthday (or was it my 6th?). I deplored the fact that there was no doll included but I loved the little picnic table with its tiny colorful plates and cups, and a separate basketball hoop and basketball. My Barbie, unfortunately, had no Ken or any of the friends that the picnic set box picture showed - a full table of friends having a grand time at the picnic - but my doll was happy enough to pretend I was her best friend and let me share the whole scene with her.
*Sigh*. The days of toys.
What a mood uplifter! (yes, that's not a word). Something finally cracked through my miserable sadness.

Head over to the Barbie wedding post to see it for yourself, and the original source links =)
