PDA

There's no better time for PDA (public display of affection) than at a wedding.  Hugs and kisses between relatives and friends who haven't seen each other for awhile. Wouldn't it be great if we could bottle it all up?

The wedding party littles set the mood like no others the evening of the 7th as 4/5 have an invested interest in the Bride, their godmother and the 5th, the youngest ring bearer is the Groom's cousin. Each took their job seriously and definitely made the newlyweds feel the love.

Instead of baskets the junior flower girls drop the petals
 out of motor oil cans. the groom's love of fixing old cars

Each parent's joyous emotion of publicly giving away their child is bitter sweet as someone else is now occupying their child's heart. We've been preparing our offspring for years to share and now it is us who must share. 

Yet on this wedding day there's no doubt of the love and pride shared between a parent and their child.

Evan kisses his Mom as
he leaves her at her chair

And we beam as we lead Lori down the rose petal strewn aisle to the Chuppah where her beloved, Evan, awaits his bride to the tune of the Beatle's song I will, played on guitar and sung by the Frieds, a father and son duo. (here you can play it in the background as you look at the rest of the PDA in the pics I will:

Here are the lyrics to the refrain:
Love you forever and forever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we're together
Love you when we're apart...

Their large wedding party BFF's (Best Friends Forever), friends and family surround the bridal couple with love... Even Lori's bouquet has pins from family members who are with the couple in spirit. (I sure hope the wedding photographer captured a pic of these!)

The first and not last PDA from Mr. and Mrs. Fisher after the traditional breaking of the glass... MAZAL TOV!

AND after their first dance together as he plants one on her after becoming Mr. and Mrs... And after the glass clinking... and...

Here's to many more years of PDA! 

Hope it's OK to share more simchas (joy) in tomorrow's entry of the wedding ceremony and party. If not, too bad... I'm the MOB.
