The Wedding Dress
Sunday, August 10th, 2008Sphere: Related ContentA woman married three times walked into a bridal shop one day and told
theyoung, prim and proper sales clerk that she was looking for a wedding gown
for her fourth wedding.‘Of course, madam,’ replied the sales clerk, ‘exactly what
type and color areyou looking for?’The bride to be said: ‘A long frilly white dress with a veil..’
The sales clerk hesitated a bit, thensniffed andsaid, ‘Please
don’t take this the wrong way,but gowns of that natureare considered more
appropriate for brides who arebeing married the first time - for those who are a bit more
innocent, if you knowwhat I mean? Perhaps ivory or sky blue would be nice?’‘Well,’ replied the customer, a little peeved at the
clerk’sdirectness, ‘I can assureyou that a white gown would be quite
appropriate. Believe it or not, despite all mymarriages, I remain as innocent as
a first-time bride.. You see, my first husband was so excited about our wedding,
hehad a heart attack anddiedjustas we wereabout to get intimate afterchecking
into our hotel.My second husband and I got into such a terrible fight in the limo on our
way toour honeymoon that we had that wedding annulled immediately and never
spoketo each other again.’‘What about your third husband?’ asked the sales clerk.
‘That one was a Democrat,’ said the woman, ‘and every night
for four years, hejust sat on the edge of the bed and told me how good it was
going to be,but nothing ever happened.
