Smile! OK, see everyone in, say 65 years?

One of my favorite reads recently posted the last in a series of posts containing fascinating wedding tips.

Yes.  I you read that correctly.  I actually used the words 'fascinating' and 'wedding tips' together in a grammatically correct sentence where absolutely no mocking was implied.

Hey, if I managd to read through all of Mighty Girl's wedding tips, they hadto be fascinating, since Zahava can attest that during our engagement (in the late Cretaceous era) I once asked her, "Um, what do you want me to wear, and should I show up milchig or fleishig?". *

That said, the first item in Maggie's latest list of tips to the would-be bride and groom for their big day is maybe only fascinating to those with a darker sense of humor:

"Take a group photo. Nearly all the people you love are here, in one place. This isn’t likely to happen again until your funeral."

Ouch.  Talk about your buzz kill.

* Observant Jews wait several hours between consuming meat and milk products, so it is often necessary to plan ahead.  For instance, one wouldn't want to show up for a festive dairy meal at, say, one's own wedding... only to not be able to partake due to having recently eaten meat.

It turns out I shouldn't have been concerned about this since we didn't get to eat at our wedding.  My grandmother (A"H) snuck her dog into the reception in her purse and fed our meals to it.  You can't make this stuff up.
