On Sunday my parents threw an awesome party yesterday (one day shy of their 40th annivesary!!!!) I could not believe how many friends were there! The room was packed. It started out with a renewal of their vows under the chuppah in a separate room.
It was a really, really sweet service...and I got to hold one of the chuppah poles. The four poles were held by: Randy & me, Mike & Iris (friends that go back to their orig wedding 40 yrs ago!), Linda & Sam and Hank & Sandy (friends that might not got back to their orig wedding, but I've known them since I was a little girl....so maybe 30 years). Rabbi Stern asked everyone to gather around the chuppah, and we formed a huge circle around my M&D. When it came to the blessing over the wine, they drank from my wedding kiddush cup (which was almost a disaster since no one told the rabbi that they were actually 2 cups intertwined but NOT LOCKED together). I was praying the entire time he was holding them in one hand. Guess my prayers were answered...he didn't drop them (whew!) At the end they kissed & then we partied. It was a fun afternoon - good food & dancing. No party is complete w/o dancing the Hora, I tell you!
