Mother of the Bride

A friend sent this charming little tale just today:

Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Not even her parents' nasty divorce could dampen her excitement.

Her mother had found the PERFECT dress, and would be the best-dressed mother-of-the-bride ever!

A week later, Jennifer was horrified to learn that her father's new, young wife had bought the same dress as her mother!

Jennifer asked her father's new young wife to exchange it. ''Absolutely not!" she replied. "I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I'm wearing it to your wedding.''

Jennifer told her mother, who graciously said, ''Never mind, Sweetheart. I'll get another dress. After all, it's your special day.''

A few days later, they went shopping and found another
gorgeous dress for her mother.

When they stopped for lunch, Jennifer asked her mother,
''Aren't you going to return the other dress? You really don't have another occasion where you could wear it."

Her mother smiled and replied, ''Of course I do,
dear. I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner.''
