miss
manners

Martin

I know that when a bridegroom
and his future wife are making
wedding plans, they should not
depend on anyone to help if they
don’t want to. I know you men-
tioned something about the father
of a bride having to pay for the
wedding — I guess help wasn’t
coming from anywhere else.

I think the parents of the bride
or groom should offer tv pay for
the flowers. I feel this is proper.
For a groom's mother to ignore a

bridal shower is another sad thing.

Why not offer her lovely hume
for the shower and offer to help
the bridesmaids with money or
food? The bridesmaids have
enough expense and planning.

The bride in question has no
mother. She is paying for it all.
The bridegroom doesn't earn much
money, and they have an
understanding about this. She is
willing.

GENTLE READER — Will you
please stop making up rules of
wedding etiquette and then blam-
ing other people for not following
them? And especially, would you
please stop making them up and
claiming that they come from Miss
Manners?

Miss Manners never decreed
who should pay the wedding ex-
penses. Parents generally do for a
young bride, but if they do not or
cannot, there is no reason that
other people concerned cannot pay
some or al! of the bills if they want
to.

Here are some real rules of eti-
quette:

Nobody can demand that
anyone else pay for all or part of a
wedding. The parents of the
bridegroom may or may not offer
to help out, but they cannot be
drafted.

Showers are properly given by
friends of the bride, of whom pre-
sumably the bridesmaids are the
closest, never by her relatives or

prospective relatives. The
bridegroom's fasnily may volunteer
to give a party for the couple at
their lovely home, supplying food
and otaer costs, but they should
not be associated with bridal

showers,
