Miss Manners’ Guide…

We are lucky enough to have a true wedding expert as the director of our show.  Bina Martin and her mother, Judith Martin, are authors of Miss Manners’ Guide to A Surprisingly Dignified Wedding.  It was kismet when we as writers found someone as invested in (and as willing to poke fun at) the wedding process as we are.

Bina and her mother were featured in the Tribune, we blogged about it here.

“Bride and mother-of-the-bride rebel against today’s monster weddings and explain how weddings can be charming, affordable—and excruciatingly correct. Today’s brides are bombarded with wedding advice that promises perfection but urges achieving it through selfishness (“It’s your wedding, and you can do whatever you like”), greed (choosing the presents that guests are directed to buy), and showing off (“This is your chance to show everyone what you’re about”). Couples wishing to resist such pressure see elopement or a slapdash wedding as the only alternatives to a gaudy blowout. But none of these choices appealed to a bride who happened to have been brought up by Miss Manners. Judith Martin and her newlywed daughter, Jacobina, explain how to have a dignified ceremony and delightful celebration without succumbing to the now-prevalent pattern of the vulgar, money-draining wedding that exhausts families and exploits friends.”
