It is the second song of the show, following the opening number, "Oh What a Beautiful Mornin' ." </P> <P> When Curly asks Laurey to go to the box social with him, he uses this song to persuade her by offering the prospect of taking her in a fancy rental carriage . In the movie version, the surrey (a four - wheel covered carriage, in this case pulled by two horses) is initially seen in a brief fantasy sequence, but appears for real at the end when Curly and Laurey ride off in it to their honeymoon . </P>
