The curious message from a mother to her future daughter in law circulating on the web

July 1, 2011

Carolyn Bourne, 60, who lives in Devon, southern England, sent an e-mail to his stepson Freddie’s girlfriend, Heidi Withers, 29.

The funny thing is that the message contained “instructions on the behavior,” Heidi, who is a secretary in London, had no better idea than to mail it to her and now its in the network.

M24 Digital obtained the affor mentioned advices which say:

* Even when staying at the grandest houses, the hostess will say breakfast is at X o’clock and we’d like you to join us then. If you are very tired, it is acceptable to maybe ask ‘would you mind if I have a lie in?’. But that has to be established beforehand.

* When staying with the in-laws you’d have thought you would have wanted to make a good impression.

* No-one gets married in a castle unless they own it. It is brash, celebrity-style behaviour.

* Yes, someone like Madonna got married in a castle but a lot of very normal, real-life couples can get married in these settings. There are lots of castles around the UK where you could absolutely afford to get married. Everyone has the right to a fairytale wedding.

* You do not take additional helpings without being invited to by your host.
