Boy, I love Prudence!

That would be "Dear Prudence", Slate.com's advice columnist. This week's column had to do with a bridezilla... :)

I receive on a weekly basis the letter to Prudence in my email then have to click to the site to receive the advice along with the rest of the column:

Dear Prudence,
My wedding is 59 days away, and I am concerned about my future mother-in-

I heart Prudence. Someone desperately needs to get a grip on reality, and it's not the MiL.

hey - could have been like us.

my wedding May 18
My MIL wedding May 25
My BIL wedding June 9

all the same year...WHEEEEEEEEEEEE

I didn't give a rats ass as to what my inlaws wore. SO not high on the priority list...

I have the urge to dope-slap the 25-year old pipsqueek. I know some women in their 50's and 60's who would look better in that dress than alot of 25 year olds. Give the woman a break!

Wow.

I am 51 years old, and I can get away with a low-cut, spaghetti strapped, robin's nest blue dress any day of the week.

Perhaps 51 year olds are expected to wear Mumus?

I wonder what the current Bridezilla will get to wear when she gets that age. I feel sorry for the groom.

You're not 51. You're 29 for the 22nd time.

One of the smartest brides I know wanted everyone around her to get dresses that they looked great in. Her theory was that a frumpy bridal party makes the bride look bad. A smokin' bridal party and the bride looks even better.

For my wedding, I asked for bright, cheerful colors. Other than that, I cared not at all. With that huge farthingale, I had center stage. Or at least the dress did. I just caused the dress to move.
