Miss Manners takes wedding planners to task

[Hest88]

Just saw this article in our local paper and thought some of the brides to be out there might be interested:

"People have come to believe that a proper wedding requires all of these things that the industry says they have to spend money and time on," Martin said in a recent phone interview. "They''re being told these things are necessary in the name of etiquette. It''s a vulgar display and unnecessary. I wanted to set the record straight."

Great article.

I have been reading a popular wedding forum where other brides have been telling some posters that if they can''t afford a meal or alcohol than they shouldn''t have a wedding. I can''t believe it has come to the point where people thing that to throw a party you have to go all out even if that means going back into debt.
