Miss Manners' Guide to a Surprisingly Dignified Wedding

This 2010 book is an updating and revision of an earlier 1995 book on weddings, and emerges as one of Miss Manners' best. Together with her daughter Jacobina Martin, Judith Martin has steered us through the shoals of bad behavior into the 21st Century, tackling such topics as no-show guests, mercenary bridal parties and their grabby gift registries, and the challenges of excessive e-mail. Anyone planning a wedding would benefit from this volume, as would all those who appreciate the authors' legendary wit.
