A friends story....

Jennifer's wedding day was fast approaching. Nothing

could dampen her excitement – not even her parent's nasty divorce.

Her mother had found the PERFECT dress to wear, 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 exact same dress as her mother!

Jennifer asked her father's new young wife to exchange

it, but she refused. "Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in

this dress, and I'm wearing it," she replied.

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 did find

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 just smiled and replied, ''Of course I do,

dear.....I'm wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night

BEFORE the wedding.''

Oh the virtue of a wise woman.....gotta ♥ it!
