27 Cheshvan We are getting ready for the wedding! The tent is up and we have been laying straw on the ground so that we can put carpets on top. The younger girls had fast fun trampling it down to make the ground level. There will be cushions and hangings too, particularly where the guests of honor sit, but we shall finish all that off later. For the feast itself, the tent will be open at the sides, but Uncle insists we close it up at night, he wants the best for his daughter.
It is not going to be a conventional wedding. It is being held at the bride's home, at least, the feast is. I believe the chuppah will be set up at Yov's house though. It will be our first chance to see inside, he still has it roped off with a large notice outside that says, "No women or girls allowed!" with a quick note underneath that says "except Rivkah of course!" My daughter has really proved her ability to keep a secret. She has told me precisely nothing! Vered has arranged to spend the night of waiting at Hadassah's so they are all coming here. She has asked for Rivkah and Miri to join the young women that night. Hadassah and I thought they were a little young, but Chava has promised to keep an eye on them, so eventually we relented. I suppose I'll have to look out my best lamp for Rivkah. We have to do it properly! For more see luvShmuli.com
