A new Levy
Dec. 26th, 2005 11:50 pmRaphi and Dassi's wedding was beautiful. I don't know how to describe it. Maybe
groovin_reuven or
arigi will post about it **hint, hint** and do a better job than I can.
It was at the Philadelphia academy for the arts, which is fitting, because Dassi is an art history major and loves art.
Dassi looked so amazingly gorgeous in her dress. And her headpiece had a lot of little stones in it, and she looked like a princess.
They were having trouble keeping the tallis on 4 poles to make it a chuppah. Yosef came over to Bryna, who was sitting next to me, and asked her if she had the shtick bag [bag with stuff for the dancing.] She said no, it was in the other building [the chuppah and the reception were in 2 different buildings, all of 20 feet away from each other]. So I took out the elastic in my hair and gave it to him, thus saving the chuppah.
There were three sets of dancing. I was in there most of the time, though I also took a bunch of pictures. We did a song for Dassi to the tune of the "Carmen Sandiago" theme [I loved that show, and always wanted to be on it. Then when I would have been old enough, it got cancelled. :( ] The guys sang the alternative lyrics to "Yerushalim" [I can't explain that one, except look at that little bit after ein kelokeinu starting with "Rabbi Gamliel..." having to do with something you can't bring in to the beit ha mikdash...] and kind of scared the band.
Dassi's brothers were wearing the kippot I made, and I was proud of my work. I don't think that's a bad type of pride, because it's not like I'm trying to be a better kippah-maker than everyone else, or something. I just like it when people wear stuff I've knitted for them. It makes me feel useful.
Speaking of which, I need to finish my current project soon, which is a kippah with the Cheat on it. It's a channukah present that I was commissioned to do, so I had better finish it before channukah ends, and with enough time to send it to NJ!
