Within a week i received a thank you Nolc. The wedding was iwo weeks later. It seems Correct to wait unlit Afler the actual ceremony to Send these notes bul i am gelling conflicting opinions. Gentle Reader you Are about to gel More that from miss manners. You Are Point to gel .1 .

There is Only miss undying . Dear miss manners my husband and i Atli and Many flairs Hal feature dancing by the guests. We arc Alto co hosts Al a Ball and a party Cathyran. We arc confused about iurrn1 Eli quell in tilt i Atli info filial i to dance and Rawhi asking in Julfs i. Do nth. The following is we have been doing but i Nolif p in by Nyhen doing differently. Trepl Rubn j4, ltb7 when we Are guests my husband will ask the hostess or the Wile of the Host for at least one dance. Sometimes the husband of that woman will ask me to dance at the same Lime and sometimes he won t. When we Are the Host and hostess some of our male guests will ask me to dance bul some Only dance with their own wives or dates and Tome will go off and dance with someone outside our own Little group within the party or Ball. Often the wife of a Man who doc4 not dance with me will ask my husband for a second dance even though the song playing might be one that is especially suited to iwo people who Are in love with each other. My husband always complies t am a Good dancer just at Good As my husband. We Are both Jolly fun Loving people of Middle age. Whenever a Man asks me to dance my husband asks his wife or Dale to dance that tame number with him at the same time. Is there a trend now to dance Only Wilh the person who came Wilh you to the social affair gentle Reader you know. Miss manners is afraid Iacre might be. Let us try to put a Stop to it right now. Those people Are Welcome to slay Home and dance to records or hire a band logo in Mailer. Al private social dances the More mixing Hal tales place the better. Al Public balls one generally slits to one s table or group but it is also permissible to wander off to engage someone else one knows. Certainly every gentleman should dance once with Hii hostess and a gracious Host nukes in Effort to a Tim i Wilh All the ladies.

On second thought. Miss manners does t want to know dear miss manners we spent a lot of Money on our daughter s wedding and were glad to do w. Everything was very elegant. But on the Day of the wedding i forgot to stand up when my daughter came Down the aisle of the Church. I can t believe i did such a terrible thing. I Haven t been Able to eat or sleep for Days. Is there anything can do to nuke this up to my daughter gentle Reader no but please gel a grip on miss manners happens to dislike this re Ideiil habit of people standing for the Bride s Entrance. The idea of a Mother s rising for her daughter is if she were royally seems particularly unfitting. Be that As it May. Miss manners is appalled by la ii a that such a trivial Point could be described As a terrible thing that should disturb the mothers will being. If you your daughter .1 c ii.
