Nicola’s wedding day was fast approaching, and nothing could dampen her excitement — not even her parents’ unpleasant and acrimonious divorce.
Her mom had found the perfect dress and was sure she’d be the best-dressed mother of the bride ever!
But a week later, Nicola was horrified to learn that her father’s new young wife had bought the exact same dress!
Nicola politely asked the young wife to exchange it — but she dug in her heels and flatly refused.
“Absolutely not! I look like a million bucks in this dress, and I’m wearing it!” she said smugly.
Nicola told her mother, who calmly and graciously replied, “Never mind, sweetheart. I’ll get another dress. After all, this is your special day.”
A few days later, while out shopping, they found another gorgeous dress.
At lunch, Nicola asked, “Mom, aren’t you going to return the other dress? I know how expensive it was. You’ll never have such a glamorous occasion to wear it!”
Her mother smiled and said, “Of course I do, dear. I’m wearing it to the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding.”
