Jami Offers Quick Wedding Guest Advice

I'm back from a wedding, and perhaps I'll have more on that some time, it was lovely and we all know I dig weddings. However, I just wanted to say to all of you who plan to go to weddings: The receiving line, you know, the thing at the end of the wedding where you walk out and say hug or shake hands with the newlyweds? That is NOT a time for chit-chat. Don't start long and detailed stories. Don't plan to have a nice long conversation with the groom, the mother-of-the-bride or anyone else in the line. People are standing behind you, waiting. You're just not that important. So, just say any ONE of the following to each wedding party member: "It was a lovely service." "You look beautiful." "Congratulations." "Nice to meet you." (for wedding party members you don't know). "Way to go." Thanks.
