HOW TO BE A GRACIOUS
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.
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.”
Many many blessings to you and the family. Your photos and stories are so full of love and joy.
ReplyDeletesuch an exciting time for you - looks like it will be a wonderful event can't wait to see the picture. Have a beautiful time.
ReplyDeleteHappy wedding day tomorrow. I hope all goes smoothly and it's a wonderful fun filled day celebrating with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by to leave a little love for you and yours on this grand day! It has been such a delight following along with the preparations... I am in full anticipation for your sharing of the gorgeous results!
