Thanks to Eof737 for this one.  It may lose a little something in the translation if you’re not big on American wedding culture, but you can still appreciate it.

Kiana’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, Kiana was horrified to learn that her father’s new young wife had bought the same dress as her mother.  Kiana asked her stepmother to exchange it, but she refused.  “Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I’m wearing it.”

Kiana 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, Kiana 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.”

      It’s fabulous. I couldn’t find a mother of the bride type dress so I went for opulent instead.

    LOL! Brilliant! Way to go Kiana’s mom! You know what they say, old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill.

    Given American wedding culture, this is the best revenge that the mother could possibly get on the new young step-mother. What a great joke!

    LOL, That’s an awesome way to stick it to her. 🙂 (as long as she looks like a million bucks and the step-mother looks cheap in comparison) 🙂

I welcome your comments but be warned: I'm menopausal and as likely to snarl as smile. Wine or Maltesers are an acceptable bribe; or a compliment about my youthful looks and cheery disposition will do in a pinch.
