When Margaret received a white maxi dress from her daughter-in-law, Anita, for the wedding, she immediately suspected a setup because of their fraught history. Arriving at the ceremony, unexpected revelations awaited, and later, Anita reflected on the symbology of a white dress.
I didn’t even have to read the note to know the beautifully wrapped box on my doorstep was from Anita. Who else would send me something so over-the-top? With a mix of curiosity and dread, I tore through the wrapping paper, revealing a stunning white maxi dress. Then the note fell out. “Please wear this to the wedding. Love, Anita.” Love, Anita? Really? I could almost hear the sarcasm dripping off those words. You see, Anita and I have had our fair share of disagreements.
