Aren’t they implying she’s lucky she found someone to marry her?
: My daughter became engaged, and I joined her for several visits to bridal salons to look at wedding dresses. At each salon, the woman assisting us introduced herself, then offered congratulations to my daughter on her engagement.Miss Manners: They stormed off and forgot the cooler. Do I have to keep it for them?
Yes, “best wishes” is proper. And the premise was exactly as you describe, which may explain why it has fallen out of use.: My husband’s family lives in different areas of the country, and we see them a few times a year. He likes to invite them to a restaurant at our expense. They hedge, or they don’t respond at all. They accept but do not attend, or decline but show up anyway — sometimes with guests of their own.
Please forgive this rant. You know what they should do; the problem is that they don’t. And we need to get your blood pressure down.
