From:
Last death from a U.S. quake (Planet Earth rang "like a bell") & December, 2011!!!

..the 6.5 earthquake that killed "only" 3 people (thankfully) but ONE WAS TO
BE A "SOON" FUTURE BRIDE!!!! She was the fiance of a young man shown
on TV crying beside the rubble left from the earthquake BECAUSE SHE
COULD NO LONGER "BE" HIS BRIDE!!!!!

California quake: Three dead so far. Unknown number trapped
'My roof landed on cars with people in them'

Magnitude 6.5 - CENTRAL CALIFORNIA
2003 December 22 19:15:56 UTC

from the L.A. Times:

...Klingman was at home in bed when the magnitude 6.5 temblor
...struck the Central Coast at 11:15 a.m. Monday. It was the biggest
...quake in the area in recorded history, and as it rocked he was
...surprised that everything in the bedroom teetered and swayed but
...did not fall, save for one item: A framed picture of Jennifer hung above
...the bed. It landed in his lap. He thought it strange, but didn't worry.
..."She kissed me goodbye in the morning when she went to work and
...said she was going to work a short shift and would be home early,"
...Klingman recalled.

...Not long after the shaking stopped, a friend came to Klingman's house
...and told him a building had collapsed on Park Street. Jennifer was not
...accounted for.

Reading notes under the YouTube song, "Christmas Bride", I found this:

...Arguably my favorite song on the album "Christmas With Conniff".
...And it's the dream of my heart to have a wife to share Christmas with.
...Enjoy, and Merry Christmas!

Again, VERY SAD NOTE!!!!

Perhaps "THIS" Christmas!!!!!!
