Bridesmaid

She said if she died first I should get a tall Nordic with long legs like an acrobat just like the bridesmaid at the first of our several weddings. We didn't learn from experience-- what is it called? Recividism? We both tried to learn Swedish from the girl and I must admit I didn't learn it-- kept going back for irrefreshable lessons; starting from scratch each time like an addict.
