Tales of a Jewish Bride-to-Be: The OTHER Four Questions

Posted Tuesday, March 27, 2007 10:09 PM

Because Passover begins at sundown Saturday… I’d like to throw in my own “Ma Nishtanah”:

1) Why is the Chicago post office so ineffectual that two people who live in the same building receive a save-the-date card several days apart? 

2) Why is it that a group of adults can turn into complete idiots when it comes to planning a wedding – or attempting to coordinate a large group outing?

3) Why is it that I can make calls, coordinate vendors and work a full-time job and my fiancé can’t manage to change a light bulb?

4) Why is it that everyone tells you to focus on the marriage and not the wedding  -- yet has plenty of opinions to offer about the wedding – and not the marriage?

I don’t have the answers to these questions … but if I could get even one: Dayenu!
