	What? It's totally true! Who's the one always keeping me positive and being adorable while doing it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have no argument for the optimism. You're still more cute. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why do you have to call us both out like that? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're just That Couple now. And I'm okay with that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I've become what I made gagging noises at. The horror. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I was always 50/50, sometimes gagging, other times finding it adorable and as much heartwarming as heartbreaking. Probably just as well I wasn't able to go to my sister's wedding – I might've been a wreck. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If they do something disgustingly cute like renew their vows, I'll be your plus one. Generally, I don't really like weddings? One time as a flower girl and then twice as a bridesmaid might have made me biased though. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xgene 2017-04-30 05:27 pm UTC (link)
	They're the classic couple, which means they probably will. It'll be four years in June. Be as biased as you like. You'll be my plus one and you'll be helping through the only wedding-like ceremony I've ever been to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Do you think they'll do the cup thing? Why is the cup a thing? And you'll be mine and maybe I won't find them so annoying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Breaking of the glass is probably the most complicated part of a Jewish wedding. Some say it's to temper the joy, get people's attention; others say it's a symbol that the couple will be rebuilding a new temple in their shared home; others say it's to remember the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem. You're insulting if you say mazel tov or being a downer if you recite If I forget thee / O Jerusalem. Can't win, really.

Based on the above, it might at least be interesting? All the intricacies of it all, waiting to be explored.

	Why would you want to temper joy? I like the new temple thing. Be prepared for a lot of questions. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I have no idea. Weddings are supposed to my joyous in my mind, but I'm also terrible at being Jewish. The new temple sentiment's a good one, which is why I'd happily stick with cheering my congratulations and being done with it.

I'll do my best. I won't be able to help with the Hebrew at all though. Learned just enough to get through my bar mitzvah and never looked at it again.

	Good to know. We'll be the clueless couple in the ~~back~~ ~~middle?~~ front row. This is when subtitles in real life would be awesome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	At least we'll be clueless together. But now I'm remembering... I might actually understand Hebrew now. I'm a living Google Translate for the spoken word! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's right! Perfect. You can whisper the important translations to me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why couldn't that part of my power shown up when I was thirteen? Jeez. Better late then never, I guess. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	By the way, I want to see Amy on our road trip. I need to see you all Bar Mitzvah'ed out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xgene 2017-04-30 09:07 pm UTC (link)
	Sure! I think she keeps that kind of stuff. I know there's pictures somewhere from her bat mitzvah, so I guess there might be some from my bar mitzvah. My ceremony was a hell of a lot shorter than hers, but there's probably a picture or two. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_donttouch 2017-04-30 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	Any pictures are good! And cute stories. Those are good too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Amy's got plenty of those. Her memory's better than mine on that front, so it'll definitely be worth stopping by. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That excited, huh? I'll make sure to butter her up by bringing a gift. She always loses her mind over animal figurines. Stone, wood, glass, doesn't matter the material – if it's a little forest creature, she loves it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
