Need etiquette advice? Miss Manners to the rescue!

Few people can watch the television hit Bridezillas without wanting to jump on screen and slap the bride. True, today’s brides seem to want things their way on “their day” or the highway, which is a bridal euphemism for an all-out tantrum. It’s gotten really tacky, ladies. Well, syndicated columnist Miss Manners, also known as Judith Martin, is here to save the day with her new book, co-written by daughter Jacobina Martin: Miss Manners' Guide to a Surprisingly Dignified Wedding. The book, released in January, teaches modern brides how to have a tasteful wedding without all the muss and fuss that will have your friends and relatives talking about you for years. According to the publisher, it snubs the disgustingly lavish and self-serving weddings we see on TV. The book is both preachy-- this is Miss Manners we are dealing with-- and comical-- her daughter teaches improv in Chicago.
