The
10 Commandments Commandment
Three A wedding
is not a time "to have it your way." The
precepts that guide a fast-food-restaurant chain should
not be applied to your wedding. Etiquette, over the
years, has been modified to adapt to our fast-paced
lifestyle, but its tried-and-true rules and standards
(that guarantee success) should never be ignored. As I
tell my clients: If you want to break the rules, know
what the rules are. Then make an educated decision. The word
etiquette is French, literal translation: ticket. And
maybe it is. A ticket to a more gracious lifestyle, to
more perfect speech and better manners, and of
perfecting our own style within the realm of good taste.
It's also interesting to note that the synonym of the
word etiquette is the word decorum. Decorum relates to
the way we act, the way we behave--of living our life
with courtesy toward others and with a sense of
propriety; it is a lifestyle. <To

Commandment Three
Learn about etiquette. This is Commandment Three. It's
very important. You cannot have true elegance without
proper etiquette; they go hand-in-hand.
We lightly interpret the meaning of the word etiquette
to apply to the proper crossing of "Ts" and
the dotting of "Is". Etiquette and
decorum--and they are one and the same--mean that we
must exhibit decency and civility in everything we do.
It's far more complex than how to implement the proper
wording on a wedding invitation.
