Aaron's Wedding

On Sunday Aaron Lazarus, one of my close friends from college, got married to Lydia Belzer. It was a traditional Jewish wedding complete with all of the traditions, customs, singing, and dancing that go along. It was an epic time during which we all sweated nearly our own body weight in water, had many great laughs, and a ton of reckless abandon. A good time was certainly had by all involved, and we unanimously agreed that Lydia is awesome, and she's perfect for Aaron (something we never thought would occur in nature...) One of Aaron's brothers (Chaim), during his toast, said that watching Aaron get married made him want to chant like a rampant Obama supporter 'Yes, We Can! Yes, We Can!' It was a beautiful time watching two wonderful families come together and be joined in a ceremony and party with thousands of years of history and tradition. One of the best weddings I have ever been to. Also, for our schtick during the group dancing, we gave the infamous 'ball and chain' to Lydia as symbolic of the burden she will be shouldering as Aaron's wife... ;-)

All the webbies and spouses (L-R): Brian, Joe, Ann, Matt, Kelly, Hannah, Russ, Me, Steve, and Liz. Good times, all around.
