Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
After 22 years together, my “husband” and I are finally getting legally married -- a bit tardy, as same-sex marriage was legalized years ago! We’re neither young nor rolling in cash, so we have a very tight budget and need to keep the guest count on the low side.
If those who were not invited are bold enough to ask, you may simply tell them it was a small wedding. But Miss Manners suspects that at least one of them will be relieved at not having to spend Saturday evening pretending to be closer with work acquaintances than is the case.My wife and I were dining at a mid-priced restaurant. I ordered the special, which ended up sounding much better than it tasted.
I thought about telling her that it wasn’t very good. I decided not to say anything, but I’m wondering: Would it have been rude to share my observations?DEAR MISS MANNERS My widowed mother was fortunate to meet a nice man some years ago. They share their lives and make each other happy.
