| Mon, May 16, 2005. Engagement Party | |
Yesterday I went to the engagement party of my very dear friend. But it wasnt just an enagement party it was a Jewish one. The guys were seated in the living room around a great big table while the ladies had to be circling around the food in a small kitchen--with just two chairs in presence. well Lesha ran away in under 2 minutes but me and my mother had to stay. Within first 5 min, we were approached by svaxa--my mom shooed her off with grace and posture of a great dane walking by a small shavka. Right after excerise began, guys stood and started to recite a prayer, whch would have been fine if they hadnt started squatting and bowing simultaneously. The entertainment continued when they started singing, dancing and having a swell time with the bride to be looking at them from afar.
I still havent met the groom and by the looks of it I wont ever see him since the wedding, which i will have to attend will have bride and groom seated separately. Poor Ania's mother--she was stunned. |
