Everything was very hectic the next few days. The wedding preparations were under way. JJ & Beth have set the date to be sometime in October. Beth figured that she could finish the semester at Penn, and then decide on if she wants to go back after the wedding. She's ecstatic that she's marrying the man of her dreams. But, first, she had to call her parents and tell them. Her dad answered the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi, Dad, it's me, Beth."

"Oh, hi, Beth. How's everything going?"

"Good. I have something very important to tell you and Mom."

"Ok, your mother is right in the next room. I'll go get her."

Beth suddenly got very nervous. What if they wouldn't like the idea? Her father came back to the phone, her mother following closely behind. She leaned in to hear.

"We're both here, Beth, darling."

Beth's voice got shaky. "Mom, Dad, I'm going to get married."

There was silence at the other end of the line.

"To JJ Pryor. You've met him."

"That's wonderful, Beth," her mother said, "but what about school?"

"I'm going to finish out this semester and we're getting married then."

"Oh, great!"

Beth breathed a sigh of relief.

"We're both very happy for you," her father said."

"I want you both at the wedding, of course."

"Where is it going to be held?"

"Right here in Philadelphia, I think. We haven't really talked about that yet."

"I'm sure you two will pick a great place. Listen, we have to go now. We have a

dinner party to go to. So, congratulations and we'll talk to you later, honey."

"Ok, bye. Love you both."

There was a click at the other end of the line, indicating Beth's parents hung up. Beth hung up her phone as well. Her dream of a princess-like wedding was finally coming true.
