DEAR MISS MANNERS: My daughter is planning her wedding and was told that she should wear a white dress to the rehearsal dinner. Is this something new, or did I really mess up 35 years ago?
GENTLE READER: Was there a great deal of confusion, 35 years ago, about who was the bride? Miss Manners rather doubts it, even if you didn’t go to a related softball game in a T-shirt that proclaimed “BRIDE.”
Your daughter may wear whatever color she chooses to the rehearsal dinner. There is no such rule.
