DEAR MISS MANNERS —
My fiance wants to have his
72-year-old father as his best
man. (His parents live 3,000
miles away and won’t be
here until about a week be-

off? Miss Manners was under the
impression that you and your
fiance were the only ones being
paired off at this event.

Your prospective father-in-law
will desert his wife only for the few

you say: “I am so glad you called

there has been a change. The party

we should stand with everyone

GENTLE READER — Standing

want to demonstrate. Singing
demonstrates allegiance.
