"This book saved my sanity during a very stressful process. It seems everyone has advice for you when you are planning your wedding. This book served as a very good guide and allowed me to politely explain why I was doing things the way I had planned them; Miss Manners is highly regarded as a woman who knows her stuff."
"Last nite I went home and read more books. I am reading Miss Manner's Painfully Proper Weddings. I picked it up b'c when I saw the title I thought of Jackie. This book is SUCH a HOOT! I've been laughing my butt off and glad I picked it up. I might have to re-check it out before the wedding to get laughing about it again.
Right before bed, my new favorite was about a family we were refusing to come to the wedding b'c their MONKEY had not been invited. Yes, monkey. They are "training the monkey to help a parapelgic and take it with them everywhere. They were offended it wasn't invited. What should we do?" OMG I was rolling with laughter. She told them to treat the monkey like you treat uninvited children. Tell them you are sure their monkey behaves perfectly fine, but that you are afraid other people will bring their monkeys that are not perfectly behaved.
"Miss Manners has gone musty. She appears to be stuck in a past century (not necessarily the last one) and vehemently sticks to rules of propriety that are realistically no longer feasible in this day and age. Take the response card for example, which she opposes because everyone should know to rsvp for a wedding. However, how many people would actually take the time to write a proper rsvp and put it in the mail in a timely manner? In this day of cell phones, blackberries, email, text messages, and the like, a list of numbers or email addresses would have to be included for a speedy rsvp, which I am sure would induce frowns on the part of Miss Manners, who presumably has never gone through a wedding of her own or she would go by the more appropriate Mrs. or Ms. While I do not think that the bar should be lowered when it comes to proper manners, I do that it should be cast in something less than steel. Even Martha Stewart seems to have a better grasp on reality when it comes to wedding etiquette, and her bar is probably covered with hand made lace doilies."
