So the story goes - they met at a NY Rangers/NJ Devils Hockey game.
They fell in love. I don't know if you so much fall as slide.
It was eleven years ago today
Scissors and I hired a band to play...
It was a VERY warm sunny February day, I remember all the details so clearly. But VERY windy, so much so that I really had to run into the hall still dressed in my jeans and a shirt but with my hair, make-up all done and my veil being held down by my sister so I wouldn't take off like a kite. I was a little late-ish, Scissors was customarily punctual.
The wedding was a blast - a traditional Jewish wedding. While hoisted above the revelers heads on a chair, I slid (there's my sliding theory again) gracefully off to the floor - my wedding gown cushioning my fall. It was a joyful fun filled day and we took off the next day for our Honeymoon - first stop, San Francisco for a few days then onto Hawaii. That's the way to do it - escape after the wedding for 2 1/2 weeks and then get down to the business of reality.
So join us for our simcha (celebration) as we toast to another year - L'chaim.
But first as we cut the cake on that day eleven years ago, the band played this song:

Congratulations and wishes for many more happy years. Eleven years with the right person defies conventional time description.

Mutha: Thanks and I agree. Eleven - not including the time off for good behavior before we actually got married - seven more.

Joel, you are certainly covered and excuse my belated acknowledgment of your good wishes. Can I borrow your travel excuse? Thank you.
I like this song a lot . My favorite part is when The Beatles were bobing up and down withtheir overgrown beards.

Mall Diva just played a wedding between two older than usual people (late forties or so), and the recessional was "When I'm 64." It was fun to work out, and we got some neat Beatles quartet arrangements out of it.
