Miss Manners' Guide to a Surprisingly Dignified Wedding

Miss Manners' Guide to a Surprisingly Dignified Wedding

Bride and mother-of-the-bride rebel against todayâ‚¬s monster weddings and explain how weddings can be charming, affordableâ‚¬â€¢and excruciatingly correct.
Todayâ‚¬s brides are bombarded with wedding advice that promises perfection but urges achieving it through selfishness (â‚¬Å“Itâ‚¬s your wedding, and you can do whatever you likeâ‚¬Â), greed (choosing the presents that guests are directed to buy), and showing off (â‚¬Å“This is your chance to show everyone what youâ‚¬re aboutâ‚¬Â). Couples wishing to resist such pressure see elopement or a slapdash wedding as the only alternatives to a gaudy blowout. But none of these choices appealed to a bride who happened to have been brought up by Miss Manners. Judith Martin and her newlywed daughter, Jacobina, explain how to have a dignified ceremony and delightful celebration without succumbing to the now-prevalent pattern of the vulgar, money-draining wedding that exhausts families and exploits friends. 6 illustrations
