Dear Ele and the Wedding Dress Dilemma
A fragmentary reader advice page from a Texas newspaper shows multiple letters about wedding costs and family pressure. Bets on bridesmaid dress expenses and travel add up, with readers suggesting budgeting with relatives and pursuing practical options. The column blends personal finance, etiquette, and advice from “Ele” and “Walt” amid stray notes from Don and others.
