Somebody is Going to Die if Lilly Beth Doesn't Catch that Bouquet:
The Official Southern Ladies Guide to Hosting the Perfect Wedding...this is the title of Gayden Metcalfe's and Charlotte Hays' most recent book, which I am just beginning to read. This pretty much reflects the DEEP south, not the nearly-south, as I tend to think of this area near Roanoke.
Very funny, very unpolitically correct, both books (Being Dead, and Lilly Beth) have received knock-out reviews from such as Publishers Weekly. I'm thinking the Lilly Beth book might be the perfect gift for the about-to-be-married. After all, there would be no one to gift the Being Dead book to...it'd be a tad too late!
Well, there are the folks bringing casseroles who might need some new Methodist or Presbyterian recipes, I suppose...

They sound like interesting books Marion. Good gift books. I often give books as gifts, whether the recipient likes it or not.

Marion, you're making my stack grow! I have a tower of books on my bedside table waiting their turn. Looks like I'll have to add this to the list!
I just received "Cooking with my Sisters" by Adriana Trigiani in the mail (she sent it to me as a gift). After a quick flip-through I see a lot of juicy reading along with recipes. I can't wait to dive in. This book sounds equally good!!
I've caught my share and threw a couple too.
I think the book about being dead and throwing a good funeral has the potential to be even more fun than the wedding setting.
