SC - Feast Enhancement Kit

[david friedman]

Helen,

Why on earth did you allow this many people to be invited?  My sister had
an attendance of 350 at her wedding (She invited about 450) and I found at
times that it was a zoo. This was not an SCA type wedding but a traditional
Jewish wedding.  When my lord and I got married I insisted that we make it
small (To the tune of less than 200).  We had 166 people.  Yes I argued
with both my folks and his about inviting "the Whole synagogue" and
"everyone we know in the SCA".  My husband wanted to elope, but I wanted a
wedding.
