......PROPER WEDDING BEHAVIOUR............It is frequently the case that even well-groomed
individuals (and well-wived ones, too!) don't know precisely the kind of proper behavior to exhibit
at the various peaks and troughs of a wedding ceremony. Fortunately, there is a simple
guideline, and it is this: show up several hours late, when everyone is leaving, and explain
apologetically that your car broke down because, unfortunately, you forgot to have its carburetor
adjusted. This one little white lie will save you from an almost infinite number of social
indelicacies, ranging from laughing when the groom says, "I do'", to reaching for an hors
d'oeuvre and accidentally pulling off one of the waiter's buttons instead. Incidentally, the same
rule also applies to funerals, bar mitzvahs, confirmations, wakes and retirement parties for
elderly relatives who did not achieve notable business success..............
