Flowers

The other day I bought a newspaper. I live in the South. Around here brides to be post enormous photos of them in full bridal regalia in the Sunday paper. A bit odd, but entertaining. In this issue there was a pretty, but exceptionally large picture of an exceptionally large bride holding an exceptionally large bouquet of roses.

Remembering my own wedding day in my size 24 gown, I held the paper up for my husband to see and asked: Is this what I looked like on our wedding day?

And he of course responded:

No, dear . . . .
(pause for comic timing) . . . you had different flowers.

Nice.

And very, very funny.


Disclaimer: You must realize the relationship I have with my husband. He married me at 250 pounds and my weight has never been his issue, and we are completely on the same page here. I had a roommate once, thin and fit, who liked to respond to any random comment with Is that a fat joke? It was hilarious, and has become an oft-repeated joke in our home and is even funnier given the fact that I am, well, fat. Hence, because weight is a non-issue between us, we are free to joke about it.

Tell Matt thanks for the funny joke -- Paul laughed so hard when I just read it to him.

Thank goodness for hubbies who love ALL of us, eh?
