Pink Dresses

''I had a strange dream yesterday'', 
she tells him,
early on in their relationship.

''Tell me''.

''I was about to get married to you,
but my wedding dress-pink!- was in bad shape,
shabby,
inappropriate,
cheap-looking,
and it bothered me to no end,
made me feel embarrassed,
uncomfortable,
unworthy of the whole ceremony....''

''You should have asked for my help!''
he says.
''I`d have taken you
to a wedding dress salon
right there and then
and in no time
you'd have the dress of your dreams..''

Her sweet, practical man.
Solution oriented,
even in her dreams....
