Book Review of Somebody is Going to Die If Lilly Beth Doesn't Catch That Bouquet: The Official Southern Ladies' Guide to Hosting the Perfect Wedding

rspolitico avatar reviewed on + 10 more book reviews


This book had me saying, "I'm so glad we moved out of the South, I'm so glad." Not anywhere near as funny as the book on funerals, this perfect wedding book may have you raising an eyebrow as to what constitutes "polite" behavior in the Delta.

Just as Jersey Shore does a disservice to the residents of Jersey by portraying a small niche of jerks as the standard Jersey resident, so does this "perfect wedding" guide to the average Southerner.

If having catty women, with no discernible skills, (other than gossiping and opening cans of soup to pour over veggies) who berate you or complain about your wedding because your 5 year old ring bearer is in a suit rather than a British "Eton" suit, constitutes a "perfect" wedding, COUNT ME OUT!

This isn't so much a guide for a perfect wedding but a guide to steer you clear of the Southerners who have nothing better to do than snub their noses at the type of finger sandwiches that are served at a wedding.
