ONCE THERE WAS A VERY SHY BRIDE AND GROOM, WHO FOUND
THAT THEY WERE TOO EMBARRASSED TO UNDRESS IN FRONT
OF EACH OTHER ON THEIR WEDDING NIGHT. FINALLY, THEY
AGREED TO FACE OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS AND NOT WATCH AS
THE OTHER GOT UNDRESSED. WELL, THE BRIDE WENT
OVER TO HER SUITCASE TO GET OUT HER NEW PINK NIGHTGOWN
WHICH HER MOTHER HAD PACKED FOR HER. WHEN SHE TOOK
THE NIGHTGOWN OUT, SHE SAW THAT IT HAD GOTTEN ALL
WRINKLED UP, AND SHE CRIED OUT, "OH, IT'S ALL PINK AND
WRINKLY." TO WHICH THE GROOM RESPONDED, "YOU
PEEKED!"
