The mother-of-the bride’s revenge

With Jennifer’s wedding day getting closer, nothing could make the excited bride lose momentum, not even her parents’ divorce.

Jennifer’s mum had found the perfect dress and would be a beautiful mother-of-the-bride on her daughter’s big day.

But just one week later, Jennifer discovered that her father’s 25-year-old wife had bought the exact same dress as her mum. So she asked her stepmother to return it but the young wife refused.

“No way! I look amazing in this dress, and I’m wearing it,” she replied.

Jennifer broke the bad news to her mother but the matron took it surprisingly well.

“Don’t worry, darling. I’ll just find a new dress. It’s your special day and this won’t get in the way.”

Just a few days later, they went shopping and found another beautiful dress.

When they got home, Jennifer asked her mum, “When will you return the other dress? You don’t really have another reason to wear it anytime soon.”

“Of course I do,” her mom replied. “I’m going to wear it for the rehearsal dinner the night before your wedding!”
