Your Easter (or Passover) Wine

[wondersofwine]

ShortWiner,
Yes, they did the chair lift first with Steve and Leah (groom and bride). Later they did it with my sister and brother-in-law (groom's parents) and they look petrified. My sister was clutching the chair and they did almost drop my brother-in-law. Also had Steve stomp on the glass (wrapped in protective cloth) and bride and groom circle each other three times (Leah's dress had a long train so Steve had to go quite a distance to circle her without stepping on the train). I liked the kitubah (sp?) signing ceremony before the wedding. They had a man dressed like Teyve in "Fiddler on the Roof" leading the dancing.
It was all a wonderful weekend. Two teachers from Leah's elementary school almost got arrested leaving off wedding gifts at her parents' home and setting off the security alarm accidentally. Two police cars and a friend of the family converged on the scene.
I was guilty of one faux pas. My sister knew what all was to occur during the ceremony but I wasn't clued in. As we were waiting for the bridal procession I got worried that the front row seats were filling up without leaving designated seats for the parents of bride and groom so I made it my business to save four front row seats. Turned out that both couples stood throughout the ceremony as sponsors of the bridal couple so those four prime seats remained empty. Had to apologize afterwards to one couple that moved from front row to third row because of my concerns.
