FABULOUS. The kid totally ROCKED it, wearing "The Tallit of Power"
One thing I did learn is that the formal photos should NOT include grandparents and great grandparents or great-grand-uncles. Took a bit longer than expected, and lots of "what about this" whispers...
But we got lots of beautiful shots from our wonderful photographer. We did formals on Friday before services, since sundown was so late. Then we changed outfits, had a lovely service, and then a really nice dinner at the shul. Only had about 24 of us, but it was nice to be able to sit and relax and visit. My cousin and David's best buddy both came in from California.
Shabbat morning was awesome. Packed crowd. Standing room only, really! And that's with adding three extra rows of seats in the back. It was just so warm and wonderful. The celebration of the ufruf (pre-wedding blessings) was lovely - the couple and both sets of parents danced on the bimah together for a moment. Everyone was so happy. The weather was gorgeous. The bride's father had put a tent in the back parking lot, so between that and my brilliant idea of renting long tables (instead of using rounds), there was plenty of seating for everyone. Yummy lunch.
All afternoon, people came back to the house. Lovely weather, and much fun being with friends and family. Every bit of food was eaten!
Sunday morning, adorable. Perfect. 35 kids, 20 adults. Relaxed, fun, and exactly what a Bar mitzvah party should be. "About the kid". Whew!
