FOR THE PROSPECTIVE BRIDE.
WISE MAXIMS. Don't have more than six bridesmaids if you can help it. Your husband has to give them all presents! Don't smoke in your wedding dress. It looks horribly out of place. Don't call on all your friends if you are motoring for your honeymoon. Have mercy on your poor husband. Don't bo afraid to show how happy you are. Happiness is a great beautifier. Don't merely hope your marriage will be a success. Be determined to make it so.
Don't let anyone know whore you are going for the honeymoon. Get right away from them all. Don't pity spinsters, because—even if they never got married—there are other things in life. They keep, at least, their freedom.
Don't roly on black cats and lucky charms to carry you through. Life needs moro than that.
Don't mind being teased by your bridesmaids. Their turn will probably come. Don't get upset if the ices are forgotten or John stutters while making his speech. They are really such trivial things.
Don't think life owes you happiness. Remember you've usually got to fight for
Don't forget you've got a new name now, J.iko a friend of mine, who, appearing at breakfast with her husband, gave her maiden name, with his, to the consternation of the whole hotel!
