My friend and I were out for dinner and I had Grilled Chicken Chop. I was actually teased a couple of times by other friends for the way I hold my utensils and cut my steak. This time round, I was complimented by Frances for the dainty and tidy way I ate.
Another thing about etiquette which irks me is the dressing of guests at wedding masses. I'm not referring to those ladies who wear spaghetti-strapped or strapless dresses. Yes, it is definitely inappropriate for a place of worship. In this entry however, I would like to write about those who dress too casually for the occasion.
A friend of mine and I dressed as we thought fit for a wedding mass but were asked by our friends why we were so formally attired. He wore a long-sleeved shirt and pants with dress shoes, while I wore a similar combination with heels. No, it wasn't planned that we would wear something alike. I was wearing it for practical purposes and he for etiquette reasons.
On the contrary, our friends wore jeans/capri pants and t-shirts, rather unbecoming, I feel. They didn't feel there was anything wrong with it though. We had to assist at the mass and our roles were more important, yes, but our attire really shows our degree of respect for the couple. Ironically, they actually dressed more formally for the wedding dinner. What a joke!
