The very first evening of their romantic honeymoon

On the very first evening of their romantic honeymoon getaway at a beautiful beach side resort, the sweet, charming, and thoroughly naive blonde bride got ready for a special night.

She slipped into a lovely, elegant silk nightgown, sprayed a touch of floral perfume, and, with immense anticipation and excitement, curled up under the fluffy covers of the king-sized bed.

To her utter surprise, she looked across the room and saw her newly wedded husband tossing a blanket over the living room couch and settling down to sleep there for the night.

Confused and deeply disappointed, she sat up and asked him tenderly why he was sleeping out on the sofa instead of cuddling up in bed with his new bride on their special night.

He looked at her with an apologetic smile and replied, “Because it’s Lent.”

On the verge of tears and completely heartbroken by what she thought she just heard, she threw her hands up and remarked, “Well, that is the absolute most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my entire life! To whom did you lend it, and for how long?”
