WE GOT A CHOSSON WE GOT A CHOSSON WE GOT A CHOSSON!

Mazal Tov to my wonderful lil sister and her chosson on getting engaged last week.
Me and my sister are incredibly close (we are the only two children, and we don't really talk to our parents about certain things they just wouldn't understand about being young n' frum) so for the past year or so as she fretted and worried about dating and all of its ups and downs and about how she really wants to get married and all that stuff, I really felt for her. So when I found out that she is getting engaged you can imagine how amazingly happy I was and excited/nervous to meet the chosson and his family.

I went to the small L'chaim at the chosson's house - not knowing what to expect - with YYK and his fancy camera in tow. I was really nervous because I was representing our entire family (My parents are coming in for the vort.) B"H the chosson is a real mensch and his family is really really really nice. Now were back OOT for the yom tov but the chosson got a local florist to deliver flowers and a teddy bear... so cute!

Everything is so exciting. It seems like it's really stressful for the chosson and kalla... all the planning and such. I sort of just get to soak in the simcha without any stress. So I was nice and went wedding shopping with her and I even agreed to wear a tie that matches the color scheme of the wedding party (soooo lame :-P) and then I even didn't choose the tie that I liked best because she didn't go for it. The lengths you'll go to to make your lil kalla sister happy lol.
