Tonight’s the big night and we are grateful to Hashem for this joyous occasion. Here are some random thoughts:

- It is possible to go from engagement to Wedding date in under 10 weeks

- Getting your response cards in early is really appreciated

- Sending a check with the response card, if you’re planning on giving a gift is a great idea

- Just like there is a wonderful change in family configuration on the birth of a newborn, so to there is a wonderful change with the addition of a son-in-law

- Focusing on the tremendous simcha makes the occasion even more enjoyable and many people have advised us that is even more important on the night of the Chasanah

- Every marriage is part of the continuing chain of the Jewish People, so it is a simcha everybody can share

- The time, energy and effort going into the Chasanah is a wonderful celebration of the beginning of a new couple’s dedicated service to Hashem

- Extending the family with great Machatunim is a wonderful feeling

    Mazel Tov and only simchas! They should be zocheh to build a Bayis Neeman LeYisrael.

    BSD a year from now we should be wishing you Mazel Tov for another great addition to the family!
