Once upon a time there was a young lady living in the Gateway to the West. She was looking forward to her brother's upcoming wedding. This was the first time she would not be pregnant at the wedding of a sibling and she was determined to look good. She had been training hard for two months to get in shape, and she still had two months left to work towards her goal. She had looked on-line and found a dress she liked, but it was not the right color blue to coordinate with the wedding colors and a little more than she had wanted to spend. She called her sister-in-law, who lived in the City of Brotherly Love, and told her about the dress and her dilemma. Her sister-in-law said she had a similar dilemma. They discussed the situation without ever describing the dresses they had found.
One week-end, the young lady went to visit her Mom. Her mom suggested they go shopping for dresses to wear to the wedding, and the young lady eagerly agreed. Off they went. The first stop was the Dress Barn (since it was across the street from Costco and they HAD to do some shopping there). As they entered the store, they were both immediately drawn to a particular dress. It was a cute little dress, and although it wasn't quite the right color it was closer than anything they had seen yet. All thoughts of the first dress quickly fled as she gazed upon the new dress. The mom graciously agreed to let the young lady have first dibs on the dress and found another one to try on herself. When the young lady tried on the dress, she fell in love. She found some matching jewelry, paid for her purchases and left the store in high spirits.
Later that day, the sister-in-law called the mother. She was at the store looking at the dress she had orginally found. She wasn't sure if the color was a close enough match and she called to get her mother-in-law's opinion. As she started to describe the dress, it didn't take long for the mother to discover it was the same dress her daughter had purchased early that same day!
That now made 2 weddings in six months that they had found the same dress for. This tells us one of 2 things : 1) these two young ladies and the mother have uncanny similarity in tastes or 2) there are not many modest dresses to choose from. Or, maybe its a combination of them both

That is hilarious, loved the story. You have such a talent at telling entertaining stories. So I assume this means Marty is getting married. Where? When?
Oh Terra, such a funny story! You did a great job writing it! I still giggle about the whole thing.
Cute dress
the story is so unbelievable if I didn't know better, I would think it was made up! Good job of storytelling.
