Wedding clothes off

In addition to the wave, the exboyfriend dance and Lumpkin getting bitten on the head, it has come to my attention that at our wedding one woman broke the strap on her dress almost leading to a janet jackson moment, and that another lost her skirt entirely during the hora. You know it's a good wedding when people are dancing so hard that they dance their clothes off.

wowzers

what a wedding! even in my most hopeful moments, i couldn't imagine that it would be *that* good. i have memories of noa spinning me around so fast amongst grinning faces that i thought i would go into orbit; my new younger brother yelling, "you only get to do this once! don't let it stop!!!"; anita telling me that i gave new meaning to circling the groom; my advisor in lipstick making fishy faces with two of my labmates; almost falling during the chair dance - twice; laughing as larry and eddie danced with the energy of four year old boys; watching my three exboyfriends dance and bow, love so evident on their faces; singing "son of a rabbi-man" to my father-in-law as we danced; miryana losing her voice; the face on my mum as she was hoisted in a chair, her arms upraised in exultation; my dad's hand appearing with a handkerchief while zack spoke to me; throwing back my head and screaming "WOOHOO!!!" again and again and again. it was awesome - in the true meaning of that word.
