My childhood friend is Orthodox-I am Catholic. I grew up sharing every holiday with her family and was asked to be a brides maid in her wedding. The whole ceremony was so beautiful and meaningful. I attended her Sheva Brachot and remember how loving this was. My life was so much fuller learning all the traditions of a kosher home, the many holidays and high holy days. And even though she could not eat food at my home, she as well learned about and joined our family during our holidays. Both our families remained close for several years and Lisa and I are still the best of friends,

That was so nice, Sonya. I know a Pastor who gives a huge eraser to every couple he marries, incorporating it into the ceremony, that it's given to remind them to erase any struggles, arguments, mistakes, negativity that inevitably occur in life. I really liked the spontaneity of the game your husband chose .. everyone gave some wonderful insight and good wishes to the new couple. May love and happiness always flourish in their home together, and may they always put God first in their lives and in their marriage 👰🤵 Mazel Tov 🥂
