While reading BMJen's wedding woes it reminded me of an email I got recently. I just had to share.

HOW TO BE
A (GRACIOUS) BITCH

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.''
