subject: your lack of manners

 

Here are a few examples of your lack of manners:

 

When you are a guest in another's house, you do not declarewhat you will and will not eat - unless you are positively allergicto something.

 

You do not remark that you do not have enough food.

 

You do not start before everyone else.

 

You do not take additional helpings without being invited to byyour host.

 

When a guest in another's house, you do not lie in bed untillate morning in households that rise early - you fall in line withhouse norms.

 

You should never ever insult the family you are about to join atany time and most definitely not in public. I gather you passedthis off as a joke but the reaction in the pub was one of shock,not laughter.

 

You regularly draw attention to yourself. Perhaps you should askyourself why. No one gets married in a castle unless they own it.It is brash, celebrity style behaviour.

 

I understand your parents are unable to contribute very muchtowards the cost of your wedding. (There is nothing wrong with thatexcept that convention is such that one might presume they wouldhave saved over the years for their daughters'marriages.) 

 

If this is the case, it would be most ladylike and gracious tolower your sights and have a modest wedding as befits both yourincomes.

 

One could be accused of thinking that Heidi Withers must be pattingherself on the back for having caught a most eligible young man. Ipity Freddie.
