You get an invitation for the kabbalat panim ceremony, the chupah...and then you come back later for the dessert/reception/entertaining of the bride and groom)<BR/>When I was single I was sometimes invited to a chupah and "reception only"-- it was fine then; it ain't fine now. <BR/>I sound horrible, like I don't want to entertain the bride and groom and share in a family's joy, but the reality is that it's rare that I'm close at all to the types of people who invite me to these "affairs"; I'd rather they not invite me. <BR/>And like I said, I'm not in the minority!<BR/>Hope that clarifies it for you a bit.torontopearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246510242496347242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9620911.post-1124231571286664002005-08-16T18:32:00.000-04:002005-08-16T18:32:00.000-04:00Pearl, I would give my "almost 50" opinion, if I k...Pearl, I would give my "almost 50" opinion, if I knew what you were talking about...for us goishe Jews...explain please!cruisin-momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16640061323519954002noreply@blogger.com
