Finding the Imperfect Dress for Your Mid-Life Wedding

Part Three

From the Desk of the President of Meanopause

Hello, friends!  We hope these warm greetings reach to you in a happy autumnal setting this five and twentieth day of this month!  Also reaching your happy family with the hand outstretched!

In the sadder vein of the moment, we are sorrowful to learn of offensive readers.  We do not wish for the offensive!  Contrary to popularity, Meanopause does not discriminate.  Be tall, for sure!  Yes, we let you.   Also be of any genders or other demarcations, including imaginary!

Sure, come back here soon for advice!  Okay, thank you.

Sincerely,

Not Heather Aronson, who is lowly staff who cannot speak for the company unless to answering the phone on the Wednesdays.

Also, please do not call on the Wednesdays.
