BookList - Denise Perry Donavin
A collection of customs from around the world. Lee touches amusingly upon many aspects of wedding plans, celebration, and aftermath from courtship to polygamy. The conventional American customs juxtaposed with African tribal or Muslim ones make them all seem eccentric. Lee's inclusion of poetry, proprieties, and protocol from Dorothy Parker, Jane Austen, Dear Abby, and others enlivens her text. Certain to bring some humor and relief to those frazzled by wedding planning.
