‘Stop talking to her after her second glass of wine and you’ll be fine’, that’s the advice my first husband gave me for dealing with his overbearing mom. Typically a sparkling conversationalist, I couldn’t catch a break with my former mother-in-law in any chat. I was always naive, misinformed or plain wrong. Especially after her second glass. Unfortunately, I suffered hurt and resentful feelings for months before getting that tip. I learned the hard way, but you don’t have to.
Yep, I convinced my friend, Sally Shields, author of the funniest book, The DIL Rules: 101 Surefire Ways to Manage (and Make Friends with) Your Mother-in-Law to talk to all of you about her proven strategies for peaceful coexistence with your guy’s ‘other woman’. Sally’s a ton of fun and she’s been featured on so many great shows like Fox News, the Tyra Banks Show as well as radio. Martha Stewart had her on, too!
I’m thrilled to have Sally, you and a bunch of other positive brides on my very first Bridal Happy Hour. The whole idea of the Happy Hour is to take 60 minutes away from the craziness of wedding planning to laugh and talk with other brides- folks who really feel your pain and share your joy. And, of course, the idea of cocktails isn’t bad either. I’m hoping everyone who joins the conference call will have a martini or something else festive to enjoy (completely optional)
Yeah, this is the first of many delightful Happy Hours we’ll share. Don’t be shy. Feel free to suggest a topic or a special guest you’d like to join our hour of happiness. It’s all good.
Here are the details. We’ll get together on Thursday, Oct 22 at 6 -7 pm EST on a bridgeline. (Once you register the dial in information will be whisked to your inbox. ) The cover charge at Happy Hour is $29.99 but luckily, you got connections. Use promo code PWHH09 and your name is on the comp list. That’s right- no charge!
Can’t wait to see you there!
