My pal recently received an invitation to the wedding of the eldest son of an old friend of hers. Modern wedding-guest etiquette is no longer as simple as coughing up for a toaster from Roches Stores’ basement. It’s not just a matter of hiring a suit and hanging out with your similarly trussed-up mates, picking bits of confetti out of your teeth. It’s hard to imagine how I might have written an “Our Story” for my own wedding day (register office and bar). “Met, got a bit pissed, went back to his place, missed last bus, had two kids.” Oh God, the romance.
