Last night Rina and I attended the wedding of a friend from Toronto who has moved to Israel. While the bus was very late in arriving and we both had to wake up early for school, the event was overwhelmingly fun. I have been told that too often our posts concern food, so I'll just say that all was delicious and leave it at that.
The basic event was the same as weddings in North America, but the entire wedding atmosphere was different here, things were somehow more festive. Maybe it was because ties and gowns were in the severe minority, or maybe it was the free food, but a feeling of relaxation pervaded the whole evening. The singing was great, as was the dancing (we even danced the groom to the chuppah), and there was only one speech! There were also a lot of the groom's former campers, and they brought a lot of energy to the dance floor. The bride and groom both sang and danced without pause, putting to shame everyone trying to "m'sameach chatan v'kallah", and seemed amazingly happy. Overall it was a fantastic evening, well worth falling asleep in my first classes of the year.

do you guys have pictures???? we were so sad to have missed it. Glad to hear it was great. We'll save our comments about a similar festive event we attended for a more private method of communication.
And what is wrong with a blog that is mostly concerned with food?
Sorry, but we didn't bring the camera - Rina has gone all feminist on us and refuses to bring a purse anywhere, as it is a symbol of domesticity and a physical reminder of her enslavement as a pack animal. And I don't have anough pockets to carry it in addittion to all of her other belongings (cell phone, lip gloss, shoe horn...). But Rivka probably took an entire memory card of pictures!
