We finally set the date and it's going to be a few short weeks after succos. That means that I essentially have about 5 or 6 weeks to get everything ready. So, yes. We are already working on our invitation list. Im lo achshav, eimasai? <br /><br />To my readers at large: If you want to come, you're definitely invited. Email me, and depending on who you are, I'll give you more specific details. It would be nice to actually meet some of you in person.<br /><br />@stayingafloat - I hope no one does something like that at my wedding. I would absolutely chalish. But I do hear your point. Except for having to dance with them during the first dance before I dance with my friends and having the traditional air kiss during the bedeken, I probably won't see them all that much. I guess we'll see...MusingMaidelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402071666900305449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455785201122974355.post-22080122100964117802010-08-15T21:08:20.805-04:002010-08-15T21:08:20.805-04:00Some of these relatives will turn out to be a lot ...Some of these relatives will turn out to be a lot of fun, or really inspirational, or something else great in an obvious way. Others will allow you to use your simcha for mitzvos. <br /><br />I like to think of these unknown relatives as the modern version of inviting all the poor to the simcha. Not that they're poor, but we don't invite strangers anymore, and some of these relatives (particularly the elderly ones)thrive on the spiritual food of the simchos of their mishpacha.<br /><br />Deep enough for you? A story:<br /><br />At my wedding, two women showed up early from out of town. My mother hugged them and introduced them as cousins of some sort, or maybe descendants of my grandmother's war friends (which is the same as family). I kissed them hello and went back to my dressing room with my bridesmade and mother. <br /><br />One minute later, in they both walked after a polite knock. They dropped their stuff and proceeded to change, right there in the small room, with no attempt at privacy. I was a little shocked.<br /><br />They turned out to be a lot of fun on the dance floor! And by then, I felt like somehow I knew them.Staying Afloathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228636990839399469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-455785201122974355.post-89448627139193102072010-08-15T15:40:22.368-04:002010-08-15T15:40:22.368-04:00So exciting!
