Miss Manners argues that the tradition of wearing a white wedding dress has evolved and is no longer tied to notions of virginity. Brides, regardless of marital history, adopt the dress as a cultural norm.
She remarks on the absurdity of judging a bride's worthiness of white attire based on their past relationships, suggesting that such considerations are 'vulgar' and should be left behind.
Despite her view of oversized wedding celebrations as somewhat comical, Miss Manners emphasizes the importance of allowing those who enjoy such festivities to celebrate as they wish.
Regarding gift-giving, Miss Manners acknowledges the challenges of maintaining fair treatment among an expanding family and suggests it is acceptable to reduce gifting as personal circumstances change.
