By this do mean an extension of the old joke. How do you know you're at a mormon wedding? The mother of the bride is pregnant.

I am not sure it is that common for mother/daughters to deliver babies within days of each other.

I have more commonly seen sisters do so or sister in laws.

Thanks; by close I meant within a year, I guess.

I've seen this several times, yes. So when they're only 19 years apart this can happen. Actually a good friend, who was 39 gave birth 2 weeks after her eldest daughter, who was 20, her 7th child. I think it is ridiculous and I am glad, that I will in my menopause when my daughter is 20.

Help me with the fine tuning, but it goes something like this:

In the modern secular wedding, the bride is pregnant and her mother is beaming.
In the LDS wedding, the bride is beaming and her mother is pregant.

I've heard the story/joke, however, never knew anyone personally that fit the description.

My sister got pregnant on the honeymoon and her daughter is 6 months younger than her uncle.

Her MIL had 13 children. He was the youngest. Oh, and my sister's husband is the oldest.

The days of having all those kids is over. Even with the Mormons. It's rare to see 3 or more families in a ward with 5 + children. It's mostly 3 up to 4 max.

My MIL had TWO children after her first daughter had had two children so there are aunt and uncle younger than their niece/nephew. 25 years later the eldest niece and her youngest aunt (who is my SIL) are pregnant at the same time. The mother of this SIL (who is becoming a grandmother) is younger than me.

Wow, what a mess....

If I have my story straight, a cousin of mine on my mom's side was born an aunt.

My youngest sibling is 2 years older than my oldest niece.

My best friends younger sister and her niece are the same age.

My husbands family is a little messed up as an example of never mos in utah in that situation. His mother and grandmother were pregnant at the same time. It was a crime with his mother being 17. His uncle and him have the same father. Use your imagination as to what happened. My husband went years without knowing till last year. His mother doesnt know that his grandmother told him the truth. It was already odd explaining to my family his uncle is our age. Now there is a whole new dynamic to it we are not even allowed to explain. Uncle/half brother.

I knew several people in Utah who had grandkids older than their youngest kids.

When my youngest was at Provo High, we went to a parents' night one time and there were a number of people there with babies. He was mortified. He said "I would die of embarassment if I was in high school and my mother had a baby." I was like "What? High School? That's nothin in Morland."
