{"product_id":"9781408170847","title":"Don'ts for Weddings by","description":"Following the success of Don'ts for Husbands and Don'ts for Wives a brand new old collection of advice for couples from courtship to the honeymoon.   On looking for a partner in life:\"Don't single out a girl if you do not intend to propose to her, for the way in which your conduct is regarded will be greatly influenced by your banking account.\"On The Question:\"Don't rush but chose an auspicious moment,  A man who tries to propose when a servant is expected to arrive with a scuttle of coals is not likely to meet with much favour.\"On the Engagement:\"Don't allow awkward pauses to break the conversation because your thoughts and eyes are hungrily trying to follow your lover, who is manfully assisting the hostess.\"On Planning The Event:\"Don't forget that elderly bridesmaids in youthful frocks and girlish hats are ridiculous to the unthinking, and pathetic to those who look below the surface.\"On Gifts:\"Don't be thoughtless - Good silver is always a joy, but remember the young wife with only one servant will have to rub up her own silver backed brushes and sweetmeat dishes if she wants them to look nice.\"The Honeymoon:\"Don't indulge in a long honeymoon. Undisturbed possession soon palls, and man was made for something more virile than perpetual billing and cooing.\"\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56312293589365,"sku":"9781408170847","price":3.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781408170847.jpg?v=1762821399","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781408170847","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
