Show r 12 i IV. DAILY HERALD Friday, Mdy Bridezilla attacks! i MISS MANNERS DEAI friend of mine is midst of planning his wedding and needs your help! His bride wants to require all 175 guests to wear either khaki or white. My friend has suggested that maybe they could just attire require "neutral'-colo- r instead, but he still feels that it's not appropriate to require any specific colors. We feel that only a clear direction from you, if you are in agreement, of course, that it's not a good idea to mandate colors worn by wedding guests can persuade the bride to leave this request off of the . , j . it ' i , VV 1 4 I i K 1 invitation. nh U: j ;;. ; MM - v BEN A By all GENTLE READER 1 H 2007 MARGOT Associated Press couple walk the Lake Tahoe shore with geese on June 28 in South Lake Tahoe, Calif.

"Once the fire is out, unless a really major area has been taken out, the local business recovers pretty quickly and, in fact, there's often an infusion of new dollars from the rebuilding," she said. Kaler said ad campaigns are planned to get the message out that South Lake Tahoe is open for business. And areas means, tell the bride that Miss Manners says to calm down, take a deep breath and get a grip on herself. Her wedding guests are not extras whom she has hired to fill out a show and can therefore costume as she chooses. All she can do is to inform them of the general style of the wedding (formal or informal) and hope for the best. And do, please, reassure her, that guests would add nothing to her wedding except, perhaps, a humorous challenge to her authority on the part of the rebellious among them. DEAR MISS MANNERS I hired a tree service to remove two large trees that were very close to my house. While these workers were competent in their jobs, I was a bit taken aback when one of them asked if I had something to drink. (I recall that when I was younger and my mother had work done to our property, the workers would ask if they could take a drink of water from our outside hose, but never asked her for something to drink.) Is this request proper? Was I supposed to have offered them something to drink in the first on the lake's north shore have already sent out notices that roads are open and the usual summer events are still on - including the American Century Championship, an annual celebrity golf tournament running through Jury 15. This year, the tournament will donate $25,000 to the Sierra Nevada chapter of the American Red Cross, and Raley's, a regional supermarket chain, will match that amount, to support relief efforts related to the fire. place? This is not the first time this has happened. Should I have told these gentlemen to drink from the hose?

But if they should ask first, you should reply graciously, "Of course," and bring it to them in whatever glasses you normally use. Miss Manners will not comment on. your mother's approach, except to say that it was once common but fortunately no longer is. DEAR MISS MANNERS What do you do when a friend invites you to dinner and then serves a frozen dinner? How do you tell her that this is not appropriate? Or is it OK? This seems like a major lack of social etiquette if you ask me. I didn't say anything at the time. I ate the dinner and thanked her for inviting me. GENTLE READER And now you feel remorseful because you failed to insult her? Presuming that your friend defrosted the meal before serving it to you, Miss Manners does not acknowledge that you have cause for complaint. It is bad enough that people treat their friends' houses like restaurants failing to show up, arriving late, bringing extra without their reviewpeople ing the meals.
