"Dr. Hal, we're getting married in February. What's the right number of wedding guests to have?”
Answer:
Do I look like Emily Post? Why don't you ask Miss Manners? But OK, I'm supposed to answer. Well, now, you divide your budget by your number of friends. Or, you could just go into debt-- it's the American way. I'm way down in the hole myself. Go ahead, life is short. Have fun, make a mess. But remember, Safety First. And let me caution you-- don't try to out-do everybody else's wedding-- it'll take away all the joy, and, besides, the bar's been set too high. When circus midget Lavinia Bump married the most famous midget of his time, General Tom Thumb, more than 2,000 guests attended, including President and Mrs. Abraham Lincoln and the entire United States Cabinet. The famous ceremony was dubbed, "The Fairy Wedding.” Oh, congratulations, by the way.
