Snoopy's Getting Married, Charlie Brown is the twenty-eighth special based on the Peanuts comic strip by Charles M. Schulz. It was first broadcast on CBS on March 20, 1985.

PlotEdit

Snoopy is guarding Peppermint Patty's house, while her father is away, because she was afraid a robber would come. However, Snoopy gets sidetracked when he sees 2 eyes peeking from in a bush. Snoopy followed the beautiful eyes and disappears into the night. Peppermint Patty gets worried, since there is no guard dog and, calls Charlie Brown to take over Snoopy's guard dog duties. When Charlie Brown came, Peppermint Patty sticks a bone in his mouth and, leaves him sitting on the porch howling.

Soon afterwards, Snoopy returns and it is revealed, the person in the bush was a beautiful dog named Genevieve, and Snoopy was getting married to her. This comes to Charlie Brown and his friends as a shock.

Snoopy wants his brother Spike to be the "best beagle" (best man) at his wedding, resulting in Spike traveling a long way from Needles, California. Spike tries to earn money by competing in a dog race, only to be disqualified for being a beagle and not a greyhound.

Charlie Brown took Snoopy shopping so they can get ready for the wedding. He bought them both tuxedos.

Snoopy is at first excited, but soon grows nervous at the prospect of marriage, acting miserable at his own bachelor party, and even breaking down into tears hours before the wedding. Charlie Brown actually had to force him to the ceremony. At the ceremony, everything is in order, and Sally sings a song for Snoopy and Genevieve, until it seems the bride is late. Charlie Brown gets upset, and tells Spike to figure out what's going on. Lucy soon arrives with news that the bride-to-be has just run off with a golden retriever. Snoopy is heartbroken at first, but soon lightens up at the prospect of remaining a bachelor, and enjoys the wedding cake with Woodstock. Spike returns home to his residence, a gigantic hollowed-out cactus with electricity and modern amenities, and the program ends with Spike enjoying part of the wedding cake by himself.

TriviaEdit

This special is based on a storyline from 1977. However, in the strip, Genevieve is never seen, and she runs off with Spike, instead of a Golden Retriever.
