"[The bride] and the groom both look as though there were sunlight behind their eyes, as though their mouths irresistibly turned to smiles," wrote Emily Post in 1922's <I>Etiquette</I>. Great-granddaughter-in-law Peggy Post, author of the fourth edition of <I>Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette</I>, absolutely agrees with Miss Emily. To ensure those bright eyes and smiles, she imparts thoughtful and commonsensical advice on how to plan for not just your wedding, but for all the social and familial obligations and traditions that a wedding entails.<p> Unlike many wedding manuals, Post includes advice for the "encore" bride as well as for the new bride. In this day of remarriages and blended families, tact and strategy are often needed to make sure feelings aren't hurt and everything runs as smoothly as possible. A chapter on multicultural and interfaith marriages addresses differing world traditions and how they can be incorporated into a touching ceremony that makes both the couple and their families happy. If you are unsure of who is supposed to do what, Post gives you clear instruction, often including a flow chart that delineates the responsibilities of all people involved in the wedding party (bride's parents throw the engagement party, best man returns the tuxes, flower girl's family pays for her outfit).<p> Throughout <I>Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette</I> are sidebars with questions asked of Post regarding an amazing array of wedding-related conundrums ("My daughter's fiancé wants to follow his family's tradition of having a money tree at the wedding. I personally find this distasteful; can I say so?"). This is a great book to find the answers for all those sticky questions. All involved in the wedding process should leaf through, get their bearings, smile, and then forge ahead. <I>--Dana Van Nest</I> 149689 2001 Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette, 5e (Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette) total:48|5:16|4:17|3:10|2:4|1:1| 48 187 68 10 5 0 false false Mon Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 11:45:27 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 19 11:47:19 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Sat Dec 08 16:21:00 -0800 2007 Tue May 06 23:05:32 -0700 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Sat Dec 13 16:45:18 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 28 18:45:00 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 16:45:18 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Nov 17 20:15:13 -0800 2007 Tue Nov 13 19:21:02 -0800 2007 Sat Nov 17 20:14:34 -0800 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Tue Jul 31 21:26:02 -0700 2007 Tue Jul 31 21:28:14 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Thu Mar 15 07:33:35 -0700 2007 Thu Mar 15 07:33:35 -0700 2007
