i made it to israel early, early thu morning (~4 am-ish). the jet lag was to my advantage though as for me that was only 2 am and i could sleep later, gain some energy for the wedding!!!
gilad, my childhood's best friend, got married thursday eve in an amphitheater in the midst of a forest just a bit north of jerusalem and a bit south of modi'in (where the macabees came from). it was a very nice wedding, very beautiful and lots of jumping and happy-ing. he is my first childhood friend to get married and i was actually quite emotional at the wedding, to the point of tears (that were well hidden, must keep macho exterior!!!) in truth, i have been somewhat emotional in almost all of my good friends' weddings, just no one has ever caught me... nehama was also there, another great childhood friend (who might be next on the wedding ladder, though there is a potential that someone might sneak in there before her, hmm...), with her boyfriend who is a really cool guy. yet there was only one other guy from our village from our age group. still, it was a trip back in time, seeing gilad's grandparents, his parents, siblings. they all didn't know about wales yet, so they thought i made the trip all the way from the u.s., which scored extra points for me! i waited a bit till i corrected that misconception... but outside of them, i didn't really know anyone.
a few shots of whiskey took care of that and i preceded to have a very good time...
about to break the glass, make it official. look how happy they look!!!
