Plus: A wannabe influencer keeps stealing my posts.
My son is marrying a lovely woman raised in a different religion from ours. Our family’s religion considers tattoos to be taboo.
How can I gently suggest to my son’s fiancee that she consider a gown where her large back tattoo will not be visible? I’m afraid all the guests of our religion will be focused on the tattoo and not the bride.My son and his fiancee are in their late 30s, so I’m unsure if it’s appropriate for me to voice my concerns. How should I proceed?Because she is likely to want to enjoy them with her new family — and that will no doubt require clothing that does not cover her back.
Miss Manners suggests you steer clear of this issue, as this couple is indeed grown up and can likely handle the attention. If you would like to be helpful, perhaps you can remind your family that the bride does not have the same tattoo restrictions in her religion.I am not an influencer. I use one social media platform to post about current events and humorous experiences, using it as a way to stay connected with far-flung friends and family.
An acquaintance aspires to be not just an influencer but a thought leader. Indeed, she employs consultants who assist her in her multi-platform strategies. I wish her well, except when she plagiarizes something I’ve written. She makes minor changes, but when she uses my material, her posts have a voice distinctly different from her usual commentary.
