A Rabbi, a Puppy, a Catholic and a Jew Walk into a Bar
A rabbi, a puppy, a Catholic and a Jew walk into a bar… Sounds like the setup for a bad joke, right? Much the opposite. It was a brainstorming session for incorporating religious traditions and the things we love into our wedding ceremony.
Jose and I joined a reform synagogue last year—Rodeph Shalom on Broad Street. We joined not because I felt particularly religious at the time, and not because Jose is planning on converting, but because we felt a strong sense of community there. Jose accompanied me to a High Holiday service there a few years back and we noticed same-sex couples, multiracial couples and folks of all ages. It was eye-opening to me. Growing up in Baltimore, I had not seen that kind of diversity inside a synagogue. Jose and I instantly felt a welcoming and inclusive vibe and figured this synagogue must be doing something right. Jose even remarked that this was not the exclusive, "chosen" mentality he's previously encountered with Judaism. I agreed.
We took a class with a young rabbi by the name of Eli, and it proved extremely beneficial for us in understanding each other's spirituality. The class was called "Judaism 101," but it was not designed to preach Judaism's teachings. It was a discussion about the basic tenets of Judaism and whether we identify with those principles and ideas of god (little "g" and big "G"). With our classmates old and young, Jewish and not, religious and not, and of various racial and ethnic backgrounds, we discussed how each of our upbringings have influenced our thinking. Jose got to dip his toes further into the world of Judaism and I got a refresher course and some new information.
Rabbi Eli invited the class to his beautiful apartment in the city for Shabbat dinner and we loved the experience. We've since gone to a few other Shabbat/Hanukkah dinners through the synagogue and through InterfaithFamily, and we have kept in touch with events happening at the synagogue. Through the wedding contest that we recently won, the officiant was chosen for us. She is amazing (see my previous blog post!), but I wanted to incorporate a personal touch for the Jewish aspect of the wedding. The ketubah signing (Jewish marriage license) traditionally happens right before the ceremony and it is very important to me, so we reached out to Rabbi Eli to see if he would be interested in officiating it.
Rabbi Eli suggested we meet at a bar (how cool is that?) and we brought along our 7-month-old puppy and sat outside at one of the best bars in the city. If you had asked me at age 13 whether I'd be having drinks with a rabbi at a bar I would have slapped you and called you crazy. If you had even asked me whether I'd belong to a synagogue and have a rabbi that I called on, I might call you crazy for that. Needless to say, there we were.
We spoke with Rabbi Eli about the most meaningful thing to us in the wedding—the ceremony. Although we were there to discuss the ketubah signing, he became an amazing sounding board for all of our questions about the ceremony. We discussed what religious traditions we could incorporate and how the choices would be significant to our families and friends. We talked about how to involve our families in the ceremony. We disclosed that while we enjoy sharing our love publicly (if you are friends with us on Facebook you know), I am private about things that are important to me and I want the ceremony to feel intimate. Most of all, we expressed how we are using our engagement as a time for reflection about our relationship. We are honest about what we each want from our marriage and we recognize that this is the time in our lives to speak openly about it. (Sidenote: It's a lot less scary to ask your partner direct questions than to wonder what they think, and it's a lot easier to do it now than in 10 or 20 years.) Plus, we want to build a solid foundation for the rest of our lives together and we want to be prepared for any challenges that may arise.
One of the biggest challenges in planning a wedding is to avoid getting wrapped up in the minutiae. I am eternally grateful to have won a wedding contest, because it has, for the most part, allowed us to remain relatively free of financial woes and family drama that is usually inherent in planning a wedding. Surely, the time will come when those challenges appear, but for now we are able to keep our focus on the marriage, not on the wedding, and we can focus on the foundation we're building together.
After our meeting at the bar, Rabbi Eli shipped us a book he recommended we read, called Meeting at the Well: A Jewish Spiritual Guide to Being Engaged. I'm about halfway through it, and it's great. The focus of the book is on using the engagement period, however long it may be, to work through how you both feel about certain issues, religious and otherwise. While some of it can be cheesy, it does have exercises and discussion points on topics ranging from raising kids to intimacy to finances to how you spend your free time. It's a great resource for us to discuss things we never thought would be important. I learned some new things about Jose in the process, which truly surprised me after six years of dating and five years of living together.
Over the next few months, I'm looking forward to the fun stuff: bachelor and bachelorette parties, the tastings, the engagement photo shoot, working with the DJ on what songs to include and planning our honeymoon (no that's not included!). Stay tuned for more updates on our wedding planning!
Why I #ChooseLove: In Sickness & In Health
I've been absent from the IFF blog for the past month or so, dealing with some health issues that kept me a bit too busy for wedding planning—or reflecting.
While I've dealt with doctor's appointments and missed deadlines at work, I've had a mental image of a calendar with pages flying by—each representing a day of wedding planning that we've missed. But, honestly, none of that really matters. What matters is the fact that, with the support of family and friends, we'll make it there together—the details of what the wedding day will look like are substantially less important. After all, that's what it means when you choose love.
At a recent doctor's appointment a nurse smiled at Justin, as she said to me, "you've got a good one sticking by you through this." Justin's response was instantaneous: "well, she's sure had her share of being by my side in similar situations."
It's true. Only four months after we met I was by Justin's side, calling 911 when he was injured, holding his hand as he came to after a 7 hour surgery, and traveling almost every other week between Boston and Philadelphia as he spent three months in a rehabilitation hospital relearning how to walk.
We've been testing the traditional marriage vow of "in sickness and in health" through the course of our relationship.
We haven't actually made it to the point of planning where we are addressing vows (which, as we've learned, are traditional in Christian ceremonies but not in Jewish ceremonies), but we both know that this concept isn't new to us. We've committed to holding up our relationship through adventures and health, and through the lows of sickness and injuries.
So, the countdown is on. We need to order rings. We need to design our invites. We need to pick out a ketubah. Finalize our huppah design. We need to pick out food. And figure out what to wear. And how to light our venue. And order flowers. And learn how to dance. The list is long, but we'll get it done.
After all, those are just details. We've already worked out the important things.

Simplifying The Seven Blessings
Blessings have been on my mind lately. In the Jewish wedding ceremony there are seven blessings recited, and, for better or for worse, I'm finding them complicated. Which is why, when our house started to shake during a thunderstorm the other night, I was already awake turning blessing after blessing over and over in my mind.
The thunder rolled, the lightning flashed, and my mind immediately went to the damage that we'd seen this winter, wondering if this storm would re-expose those leaks. After a few minutes of almost deafening rain, my mind finally slowed past its catastrophic style thinking to an appreciation of all of the noises, smells, and feelings that accompany a thunderstorm.
I was thankful for the rain that we receive here in New England, as opposed the droughts that are impacting so much of our world. I was thankful that I was inside, and lucky enough to be safe from the elements. I was grateful to be cuddled up under my blanket next to my sleeping partner, with my sleeping cat in the nook behind my knees.
I noticed Justin stirring from his sleep. "Good thunderstorm," he muttered to himself.
It might seem simplistic, but right there… that was a blessing.
One of the pieces of Jewish learning I've most taken to heart is the idea that a prayer should speak to what is truly in your heart—the trappings of the words matter a whole lot less. (This idea seems particularly relevant when coming at the idea of one religion's prayer from a multi-faith lens.)
Which is why we're going to take the seven blessings and take them from complicated ideas to a simple "good thunderstorm" style message. But we need your help.
We're asking seven of our friends to craft their own blessings based on the meaning of the originals. They'll then be recited in the original Hebrew by our rabbi. What matters to us is less of the traditional language (we'll have our bases covered by our rabbi's recitations), but the sentiments passed along by the friends reciting the blessings.
Here's where we're asking for your help: if you were to simplify the following prayers to one word, what would it be?
I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
Finding a Ceremony Location that Fits
Where do you get married when you don't officially "belong" anywhere? This question, which seems rather dramatic, was the first hurdle of wedding planning.
Here are some places that we quickly checked off the list:
– A rotating wedding with stops at each temple or church where a friend of ours works as a rabbi and/or spiritual leader: problematic mostly as this particular world wide wedding tour would probably require a month long commitment for any wedding participant.
– My very first truly Jewish home, the Smith College Kosher Kitchen: while the space is filled with amazing memories of learning how to braid challah, welcoming Shabbat, and being part of true community, it's not exactly equipped for a wedding shindig.
– The churches that Justin attended growing up: a destination wedding wasn't something we were 100% opposed to, but asking family to trek out to the winding trail of places he called home (from Ohio to South Dakota back to Ohio and on to Pennsylvania) as he grew up wasn't exactly practical.
After all, as an interfaith couple with varied roots and no shared official physical spiritual home, there is no obvious, easy answer. And, as we look to bring together a diverse group of family and friends, we want to avoid the "eek" feeling that often accompanies being in someone else's religions home base. (We're introducing enough new things as it is!)
Our dramatic question of belonging (or a lack thereof) answered itself when we took a different tact to planning. When we rephrased the question from "where do you get married when you put religious tradition in the center" to "where do you get married when you put your own relationship in the center" the options started to reveal themselves.
A ceremony in a science museum? Why not? (Unless there are mummies—I have an irrational fear of mummies.)
A ceremony on a boat? Sure! (Weather permitting. And is one allowed to be both captain and bride?)
A ceremony in an abandoned theater with no lights, no running water, and a more than fine layer of dust? Yes. That's the winner.
When we looked at locations that had significance to us, a vacant theater became the obvious choice. Justin has been a part of a community of urban explorers for far longer than I've known him, and I've come to appreciate the beauty that is found in a place paused in time. We are people who, individually and as a couple, value adventure, the offbeat, finding experiences that might not jive with the norms—and so this feels more like "us" than any church or synagogue we might find.
I wouldn't go as far as saying that this is where we find our "sacred" … but, there is something holy about appreciating glamour where someone else might not look twice.
Taking a space, one that has been forgotten by its surroundings, and stepping back is a powerful experience. There's beauty in seeing a place for what it once was, what it is now, and what it could be. (And, isn't that the essence of a relationship? Appreciating all steps of the journey?) For us, the idea of transforming a quiet, slightly downtrodden theater into a site for a ceremony just makes sense. We're adding the lights, we're bringing in the huppah, but the magic of the building was already there.
Looking Back on Our Interfaith Wedding, One Month Later
It is hard to believe it has already been a month since our "big day."
It is finally starting to sink in.
It seems that we have not stopped moving since we got married. Between the holidays, Lisa's sister getting married, and my new employment opportunities, there has been barely a moment to sit and take it all in. However, this week, we received our photos and have been listening to our playlists from the ceremony and reception. It is certainly bringing us some cheer.
It was an incredible journey for us both. Physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
We had a lot of help along the way. So thank you everyone who helped. Friends, family, and loved ones. Thanks to all our wonderful vendors too. Thank you all who followed us both on this journey and the whole InterfaithFamily staff who gave us this opportunity to talk about and really explore what having an interfaith wedding is all about and meant to us. (I also apologize to our photographer because I had to resize all the photos to fit into this post, they simply do not do her work justice.)
After the wedding, we ended up answering a lot more questions than I thought. We had a lot of members of Lisa's family asking about the Ketubah ceremony, while others asked about the circling of one another toward the beginning of the ceremony.
We also received a ton of compliments. The donut table (instead of cake) was a huge success. You could not tell the difference between the adults and children because all of them kept staring at the table with hungry eyes, even with a belly full of delicious meatballs. Our Jewish friends also said that when it comes to the Hora, Lisa and I hit it out the park. It was their most fun moments of the wedding.
What's next in our journey? That is a great question. We are hoping after the New Year to settle down a little bit more. There should be some clarity in our close future. I also hope to attend temple more regularly. For the first time in awhile, we do not have a deadline for our life and maybe that is the best gift of marriage. It is what you do with it after the big day.
This Is What We Are Going To Look Like For the Rest Of Our Lives
I did not mean that we were walking down the aisle in jeans and hooded sweatshirts. I meant that if you asked 5-year-old Ryan what he would look like or who was the man he was going to be on his wedding day, he could not have imagined it. And everything is different from what I imagined on my 15th birthday. And even at 25, I would not have believed you I would be getting married 600 miles from where I grew up and that was only four years ago.
At the beginning of this blog, I was asked to introduce Lisa and me as a couple. That couple could not have planned what lay ahead for the both of us. It is amazing to look back when I first started writing in April and see the changes in our lives that have happened since then. Many of them were not planned, but Lisa and I remained a team and got through all the ups and downs together. The wedding we planned in April is nowhere near identical to the wedding that is happening in just 8 days.
Where am I going with this? I don't know.
My spiritual mentor Scott and I talked about the power of "I do not know" this week during our weekly chat. Sometimes in life, it is best not to know. There is a lot of truth in that statement. We tend to get caught up on what we do know, and forget that we do not need to know everything in order to be successful. We simply have to trust that G-D has got it worked out.
Easier said than done. Especially this close to the date and you feel like you have to know everything. Everything needs to be set in stone. And maybe for the wedding it does have to be. However, at the moment, in life, it is best that I do not know life's full plan. Knowing that I love Lisa with all my heart is really all I need. Life's other details will be taken care of with or without my help, it seems.
I have talked about being spiritually ready to get married throughout the course of this entire blog. I can say that I am ready and have not even gone to the mikveh yet. What I thought "spiritually ready" looked like in April, and actually feeling it now, into my soul, are two very different things.
Cinnamon Toast and Mazel Toast!
Sam and I were sitting at breakfast this morning reflecting on our wedding, which was a week ago yesterday. We were exchanging our favorite moments and stating what we enjoyed about that special day.
Everything about the day was beautiful. Although the weather on the days before and after was cold and rain-drenched, the day of the wedding had clear, blue skies and temperatures in the low 70's, which allowed us to take photos outside among the gorgeous fall leaves. Friends and family members from across the country traveled without difficulty, and shared in our joy. Everyone was dressed to the nines and looked stunning. The ceremony was so beautiful that I cried through most of it. Thankfully, Sam was prepared and surreptitiously slipped me a tissue a few minutes into the ceremony.
The ceremony carried additional emotional weight as a result of the items that were owned or created by our relatives. Sam's tallis was on top of the chuppah, so he wore his deceased Uncle Morrie's tallis. My brother Dave made the paper for the ceremony programs using some fabric from my maternal grandmother's wedding dress. My sister Stephanie did the graphic design for the ceremony programs (and all other printed materials). Sam's sister Diana crocheted all the kippot that the Jewish men wore during the ceremony, and our ketubah was painted by my sister Michelle, as we mentioned in an earlier post.
Sam and I worked really hard to combine both Judaism and Catholicism into the ceremony. Two close family friends, a rabbi and a priest, co-officiated the wedding, and both did a phenomenal job of partnering together and taking the lead on our ceremony. At the beginning of the ceremony, Sam's sister Stacey explained the Jewish rituals and symbols, and my brother, Chris, explained the Catholic ones. The fathers recited the seven blessings together, and the mothers took part in the unity candle. A cantor friend of ours chanted the shehecheyanu and my sister Laura read from the book of Genesis. Afterwards, many of our family and friends came up to us and said, "I really enjoyed how you blended both religions in the ceremony."
Anne's favorite moment fell during the ceremony, when our dads split up the Seven Blessings. Sam's dad said them in Hebrew, and my dad said the translations in English. My dad is a professor at the local university and his diction is very clear and precise, so he over-enunciated every syllable in each of the blessings. In a very emotional ceremony, these blessings broke the tension and made me laugh.
Aside from watching my parents walk me down the aisle, Sam's favorite moment was during the hora. After Sam and I went up on the chairs, our parents were also hoisted up on the chairs. Now, we had warned my parents about this dance when we first started planning our wedding. My mom was still scared when four men lifted the legs of her chair up and down, while my dad's expression was the complete opposite. He had a blast! Every time they hoisted him up, his hands went up, as if he was on a roller coaster. It was a lot of fun to see that much excitement and joy on my dad's face.
"You guys clearly had thought of every little detail, and I really enjoyed how everything tied together." Yes, we did have a beer themed wedding. The place cards were beer bottles, the centerpieces were made out of beer bottles, the favors were bottle openers, and we even made our own beer to serve during the reception. My sister Stephanie created a logo for us which was made out of a sheaf of barley, bottle cap, and a hop cone that resembled a heart. This logo was on the invitations, ceremony program, signage, beer labels, and all of the printed material. The logo was even incorporated into a tile mosaic, crafted by my sister Carolyn, which functioned as our guest book. My youngest sister Theresa took this logo and made tags for everything in the hospitality bags for the guests to enjoy at the brunch afterwards. The guests at the brunch also enjoyed oversized Jenga and Kerplunk games built by my brother Andrew. All of the wedding details went off without a hitch thanks to Nicole, another sister, who was the day-of-wedding-coordinator.
"I have been to several weddings before and never have I heard the Best Man or the Maid of Honor's toast so clearly and so well thought out." The credit is all theirs. The Maid of Honor went to school for theater management, so speaking clearly in front of a large group of people is second nature to her. The Best Man's occupation is planning long term medical treatments, so it is quite understandable that his speech had a very distinct beginning, middle, and end.
"Even though I just met you, I feel like I have known you for years." In some cases, family or friends from one side of the family had gotten to know our "other half" through this blog. In others, it was a reflection of how strangely similar our families are. When I was putting together a slideshow of Sam and I growing up, for the brunch following the wedding, there are some images of my family doing a goofy face and I found images of Sam's family doing that same goofy face. Our siblings and cousins had a ball dancing with each other, especially to songs such as Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show, and "Cotton Eyed Joe". It was great seeing everyone on the dance floor having such a good time.
"Keep on blogging." Many of our guests have been following this blog. There were a few people that I met in person for the first time at the wedding who knew me only through these blogs. Sam and I are both very grateful to Interfaith Family for providing us with this forum for communicating with the world our love for each other in our different faiths. Best of luck to the other couples on this wedding blog; I hope your weddings are as joyous, loving, and fun as ours.
Our Aufruf
[Guest post by Sam Goodman]
I have fond memories of going to services as a youngster and looking forward to the weeks in which I could pelt young adults, the clergy, and innocent bystanders with tiny packages of hard candy. Not wanting to miss being on the receiving end of such a deluge, a few months back I mentioned to the Cantor at my synagogue, Monmouth Reform Temple (MRT), that Anne and I would like to have an aufruf. This is a custom during which the bride and groom – or, in more traditional synagogues, just the groom – are called up for an Aliyah, and the Torah is read in their honor.
Scheduling our aufruf posed a bit of a challenge. Traditionally, the aufruf takes place during Shabbat services prior to the wedding. However, our rehearsal dinner takes place on that Friday, outside of Philadelphia. The Shabbat prior to that coincides with Yom Kippur, and celebrating with candy is not the best way to observe a solemn fast.
We also wanted to make sure our aufruf date aligned with an appropriate Torah portion. Our wedding occurs the week prior to
However, we hadn't cleared all hurdles yet. A significant proportion of the families at MRT are interfaith, and over the past year, the Rituals & Practices Committee has discussed what activities on the bimah are permitted to the members of the congregation who are not Jewish. Also, they are charged with awarding honors for aliyot, lighting candles, and Kiddush on Friday nights. I happen to sit on this committee. A few weeks ago, the person responsible for managing these honors for the month of September asked if anyone would be interested. I asked if my parents could do the candle and Kiddush blessings for the night of our aufruf. My mother is a practicing Christian, and some congregations do not permit those who are not Jewish to say the blessings over the candles. Also, neither of my parents are members of MRT, though they do belong to a Reform synagogue in the Philadelphia area. Finally, Anne is not Jewish, and the committee had discussed in the past whether it was permissible for members of the congregation who are not Jewish to be called to Torah for an aliyah. After raising these concerns, I opened the topic for discussion to the members of the Rituals & Practices Committee.
This kicked off a lively discussion. Our Cantor sent around a link to the recent article on Interfaith Family about how different synagogues approach candle lighting by with interfaith families. Ultimately, the committee agreed that my parents could light the candles and recite Kiddush, and that as long as I was with her and saying the Torah blessings, Anne could join me for the aliyah.
With this final hurdle cleared, it looks like September 12th will be a very Keefe/Goodman Shabbat at Monmouth Reform Temple! In case you have an itching to bean some soon-to-be newlyweds with candy, services start at 7PM.
And just like that, we're married!
After all of the plans and preparations, the big day came and went without a hitch! We had glorious weather, the ceremony was everything that we wanted it to be, and the reception was an absolute blast. We had people from both sides tearing up the dance floor until midnight. We ended the night exhausted, our sides and cheeks hurting from a day spent laughing and grinning ear-to-ear.
We arrived in Worcester on Tuesday night, which really allowed us to take a more relaxed approach to last-minute preparations. There were the table numbers to finish up, the seating chart to arrange, welcome bags to assemble, and yard work to be done, not to mention being here for the tent and bathroom installation. Things went quite smoothly for the most part.
On Wednesday morning Dana's mom, Kathy, wanted to reveal the Chuppah. All along we knew it would include articles of clothing from both families but we had no idea what the finished product would look like. Kathy settled on a tree design using the clothing donations as the leaves of the tree. We must have sat for almost a full hour and looked at it, recognizing the articles and locating other items on the Chuppah. It was truly a spectacular final product that we will keep in our family for many many years.
We were bursting with excitement when Friday evening came around and the out-of-town guest began to arrive. The rehearsal went well and afterwards we gathered at a local restaurant for drinks and appetizers—a chance for our families to mingle and get to know each other before the big day. And—much to our surprise—an a cappella group had been hired to sing to us and Dana's grandparents, who are celebrating their 65th wedding anniversary in July.
On Saturday morning we woke up to a gorgeous sunny day. The ladies got their hair and make up done while the men slept in and spent the morning lounging. By 5 o'clock everything was in place and we were ready to start the show.
Dana walked down the aisle around 5:30 and the ceremony began. We started with a traditional Jewish blessing over the children given by both of our parents. Then we had a reading by Chris's uncle (a Jesuit priest), followed by our own version of the seven blessings read by friends and a poem read by Chris's sister. Afterwards we exchanged vows and rings, Chris stomped on the glass (twice—since he wasn't sure he had broken it the first time), we kissed, and then it was on to the party!
Now, three-weeks later, it's hard to remember all of the details from the reception but it truly was a magical day. Many people commented on how personal the ceremony was and how much they learned about both religions. The Horah may have been one of our favorite moments, when family and friends from both sides joined on the dance floor to dance around us and lift us in chairs. The joy that we were able to share with our friends and family was palpable during those few minutes, and everyone had a great time.
The morning after the wedding there was a brunch at the Pulda house, which was a great opportunity to catch up with our guests and spend time with those people we weren't able to see for long during the reception. It's funny, before the wedding everyone warned us how quickly the night would go, but I guess it's one of those things that you have to experience to believe. It truly flew by!
All in all, the wedding was a wonderful time and we considered it to be a beautiful fusion of both of our faiths. Our families and friends came together to celebrate us, our love, and the future we have before us. We consider it to be a bright future, and look forward to the joys and challenges of being an inter-faith couple and raising children with an appreciation for the rich heritage of both of our faith backgrounds.
Adventures with Sam
Sorry for the radio silence; throughout these last few weeks, I have been going on a series of vacations and experiences: adventures with Sam. He has taken me to Londonderry, NH, Grand Rapids, MI, Lambertville, NJ, and Allentown, PA. It's been a busy month!
In the beginning of June, we visited Moonlight Meadery in Londonderry, New Hampshire. They gave us a tour of their facility and we tasted about 14 different meads (honey-wine). It is incredible how they can mimic the flavors of apple pie or mojito with fermented honey. While we were in Londonderry, we visited a local brewery (603 Brewery) and a winery (Zorvino Vineyards). We can now say that we have been to a meadery, winery, and brewery in 2 days.
Last weekend, we drove to Michigan for the National Homebrew Conference. This is Sam's jam- three days of all you can drink homebrewed beer! About a hundred different homebrew clubs from all over the country brought their best beers, and vendors showcased brewing equipment and supplies, and poured us more beer. Besides drinking and talking to vendors, there were about 50 different seminars. These speakers, titans of the beer world—Mitch Steele, Brew Master at Stone Brewing Company and John Palmer, author of How to Brew, and many others—talked about how different yeast cultures react in different temperatures, how to improve fermentation, and the secrets of aging in bourbon barrels and, you guessed it, they served more beer.
After three days of drinking really good beer, listening to famous beer people and talking with hundreds of other people about homebrewing, we have some really good ideas for our beer themed wedding.
Some of these Adventures with Sam have been "studying" for our wedding. This past week, our families met at the Pennsylvania Shakespeare Festival to see Fiddler on the Roof. Throughout the show, I heard them whispering to each other, "Will Anne and Sam have this at their wedding?" My mom held her breath while the bride and groom were hoisted on chairs, and my little brother was amazed at the dancers balancing bottles on their hats.
A few weeks before seeing Fiddler on the Roof, we went to a wedding near Lambertville, New Jersey. Throughout the wedding, we took notes on what we would do similarly or differently. The ceremony and reception took place outside on a lovely farm with a small group of friends. It was a perfect setting for dancing under the tent or enjoying the bonfire with a cocktail. We loved how all of the aspects of their wedding reflected who they are as a couple and we hope that our wedding does the same, which is why we will have a beer themed wedding.
Whether it is beer related or "studying" for our wedding, the Adventures with Sam are always fun times with many stories to tell. Maybe I should start writing a book and title it:
Adventures with Sam: The Story of My Life.

Terrorist organization harboring
Lyric Meaning
More concern over Iraq: it was bad enough to level sanctions on the country while still letting Saddam get rich, but then the U.S. used the pretense that he was harboring al-Qaeda to start an unjust and disastrous war in Iraq
I think this also refers to how certain terrorists are given a free pass by the US who in return get information or an alliance. One man's terrorist is often another man's freedom fighter e.g. the Contras, the P.L.O., the founders of Israel etc.

If you're looking to maximize your TV dollar and don't care about 4K, it's tough to go wrong with the Vizio E series.
Are you a bit of a shutterbug? Add that to the list of reasons to avoid the 16GB model of the latest iPhone.

Lego Minifigure USB keyring could well be the coolest / geekiest ever
You may have noticed that we at Pocket-lint are Lego crazy. We just can't get enough of the little bricks and little men.
So, imagine our excitement when we spotted this Lego Minifigure 2GB Flash Drive.
Sure, at only 2GB and priced at $24.99, it's hardly the best value USB drive that we've ever seen - but that doesn't mean that it's not super cool / geeky (delete as you see fit).
It's a shame they've gone for the standard Minifigure, rather than one of the themed ones (how could would a Chewbacca or Princess Leia one have been?), but we still want one.
They're not on sale in the UK unfortunately - but you can order one from the States.

Keywords Are Dead – Research for Entities & Audiences #SMX #13C
This session at SMX West 2015 "looks at the shift away from the keyword-based world, with tips and strategies for both SEOs and SEMs for thriving in a concept-driven world."
Danny Sullivan, Search Engine Land's editor in chief, is this afternoon's moderator. That says something about this topic's significance to current trends in the search marketing industry.
Sullivan says that in the old days, we used to fire up the Overture keyword tool or the GoTo keyword tool and see all the words people were searching for.
Speakers Kate Morris and Marty Weintraub explain that the data given by a straightforward keyword tool isn't enough today. You have to combine many approaches, getting to the audience and intent with different kinds of tools and data available to marketers today.

Bada BING, Bada Boom! Man at Center of Microsoft Backtrack Heard 'Round the Search World: Exclusive Duane Forrester Interview
Getting a deal done in two months at a tech conglomerate like Microsoft is the corporate equivalent of a double back handspring. And that's exactly how long it took Microsoft to fully backtrack on the publicly derided layoff of Duane Forrester.
Forrester, a larger than life personality in the SEO world, literally dubbed the 2014 Search Personality of the Year, has been the voice of Microsoft's Bing search engine to the marketing community since 2011. Last October, Forrester found his name on a layoff list of 3,000. Search marketers who adore Forrester for his straight-talking, webmaster championing, laid-back demeanor were by turns shocked and annoyed. How could the No. 2 search engine spare its most public figure and PR Ace? What did the move say about Bing's attitude and support for the search marketing community? In December, Microsoft put any doubt of its commitment to search and the online business community to rest by admitting mea culpa and returning Forrester to his previous seat.
Read on to hear first-hand what happened behind closed doors to return Forrester to his role at Bing. We also get a peek of big things on the horizon at Bing, including Forrester's recommended process for a mobile usability audit … and a brand new ad type in the works.

#SMX Speaker Series: Moz's Dr. Pete Meyers Talks SERP Science
Meet Dr. Pete Meyers — Moz's marketing scientist and the brains behind the MozCast. MozCast reports volatility of Google SERPs as a weather report, measuring the changes in Google rankings daily in an effort to track algorithm changes.
"MozCast was born out of my frustration that Google admitted to hundreds of search changes every year, and we could only name a handful," Meyers explained. "The project has evolved a lot in the past three and half years, and the one thing I've heard from a lot of people is 'Thanks for letting me know I'm not crazy.' There are so many times when we think something changed, and we just need that gut-check. I hope MozCast helps fill that gap."
Running MozCast positions Meyers as a SERP historian. On March 3, Meyers will present "Dr. Pete's Guide To The Changing Google SERPs" at Search Marketing Expo (SMX) West. He'll bring audiences up to date on all the latest changes to the SERP, the Knowledge Graph boxes, the Local Pack, display carousels and more. Today, Meyers joins us on the blog for an exclusive interview about all things Google-related.

Main Bed Sheet Ghost Discussion

Edward D. Wood's use of a bedsheet ghost in Night of the Ghouls, to unexpected comic effect!
08:37:55 AM Dec 16th 2010
Fraudulent Victorian mediums would produce "ectoplasm" from which ghosts would be able to manifest. The ectoplasm looked a lot like white silk, probably because this was exactly what it was. The person pretending to be the ghost would crouch down under all the silk and then stand up, "manifesting" by taking it off, hence ghosts looking like white sheets.

Mister Everywhere YKTTW Discussion
|Mister Everywhere
Seen It a Million Times, please post examples! :) Quite simply, a character who's everywhere. This is a recurrent(though usually minor) character who, for some reason, keeps showing up wherever the heroes go. This isn't the same as a Goldfish Poop Gang, since those are characters that actively follow the heroes. Mister Everywhere may or may not interact with the heroes, but for some reason, he's pretty much everywhere the heroes go. Examples: Anime and Manga
- Antonio, Carlos and Jobim, the Three Old Men from Cowboy Bebop. A striking example, since they tend to appear in different planets each time they show up.
- Nurse Joy and Officer Jenny from Pokémon. It's lampshaded in the show that they are multiple of them, one in each town, but the trope still applies.
- Marcus Kincaid from Borderlands. Not only does he personally run all his shops, he also personally drives the main characters to the start of the game.
- Portal 2: The bird shows up here and there throughout the game until you save GLaDOS from being eaten by it.
- Stiltzkin, the traveling moogle from Final Fantasy IX, who always seems to be close by when Zidane and his crew need to buy some supplies.
- Final Fantasy X: Oaka the traveling merchant. He has a brother who's actually following Yuna around, too.

Anyways, every single person I have talked to said their weight assessment via ultrasound was WAY off and their babies weren't nearly as big as expected.

Baby #4- EDD December 10, 2015!
I've never had any reason to wonder how accurate they are but I think it kinda depends on person doing the scan, I had one done at 34 wks last baby and the computer did an estimate from measurements, it said she was 5lbs! She was born at 39 1/2 wks and was 6lbs 13oz, so I don't think it was very accurate. My sister has big babies and her Dr has made estimates closer to the end that were very accurate!
Mine was way off. My "8 1/2lb" baby came out at 6lb 3oz. Makes me laugh when I see people so confident they're going to birth a monster as if it's a competition.
Chillin' with my 11/11 cranio kid
got my Valentine Feb 6th 2013!
Mine was off by like 2lbs. I was told there is like a 2lb error rate (at least that was the statisic cited to me by the OB about full term babies). So dumb because when you're talking about like a 7lb baby-that's a hell of an error rate!!

Pretty Myisha from North Haven, CT on 01/19/2015 – Verified Buyer
Nice statement piece. Storage is always a plus although I'm not sure what to put in it since it's small. Color is yellow and tan, not yellow and gray. Also purchased the matching chairs but they are really hard.

Beautiful product. Evelyn from New York, NY on 01/05/2015 – Verified Buyer
Colors are vibrant and true to visual. Size is actually larger than I expected. Not a complaint--just surprised. It provides lots of storage options. Not particularly cushy to sit on, but perfect for feet or to set something down on. It arrived fully assembled and appears to be very well made. I'd buy them again if the need arrises.

It's absurd flying vegetables round the world - surely we could produce enough here and cut down on the air miles. It does make me furious as well.
We started buying veg from the local farm shop until we discovered a lot of the veg at the farm shop were imported as well. I was astounded
And what would you have done if you'd gone to the farm shop in the winter and there wasn't the range of fresh fruit and veg that you were used to? You'd have gone somewhere else - back to the supermarket probably - and bought the things you wanted. The farm shop would have gone out of business, the shop staff would have lost their jobs and the growers would have had nowhere to sell their produce again as they're not big enough to supply the supermarket. They'd have gone out of business and the land would've been sold to the big agri-businesses.
Onions from New Zealand - of course - Europe has imported onions seasonally from NZ for years Onions don't grow all year round in the UK - English onions will be harvested later this summer and will store through the winter, but they won't last in store until this time of year - are you prepared to go without onions for three months? Kleipieper found somewhere with newly harvested onions - great - but would they have had them a month ago and did the producer have enough to supply all the other shops in the area?
I'm amazed that gardeners don't seem to understand about seasonality
Buying Dutch strawberries? Grown in hothouses - so don't tell me you're concerned about airmiles and consequent pollution of the planet then. Hothouses use fuel too!
But everyone want strawberries and salads out of season and if they can't get them from the farm shop they'll go where they can.
People want new potatoes earlier and earlier in the season - in the UK we used to wait until the Jersey and Cornish ones were ready, but the demand from the customer is for new potatoes (they don't have to be peeled - no onehas time to peel a potato any more) so they're imported from Egypt and Israel, then Majorca and the Canaries, until the UK ones are ready. Kleipieper's potatoes in Aldi won't have been shipped in over the past few days - they'll have been shipped in earlier and been in storage in the importer's big storage facilities - then the more local ones will have been ready and the imported ones will not have been wanted by the more expensive supermarkets, so the importers will have sold them off cheap to Aldi - that's how Aldi keep the prices low - they buy the veg the other supermarkets don't want.
What do you spread on your toast in the morning? Is it English butter? Or is it Flora or a similar spread? Where do you think the sunflower and palm oil comes from to make those spreads? We don't grow enough sunflowers in the UK, and no palm oil grows here. If more people ate English butter and English cheese (or do you buy NZ cheddar 'cos it's cheaper ?) then the dairy farmers in the UK wouldn't be going out of business at a rate of knots (leading to the the old pastures being ploughed and the consequent lack of diversity of flora and fauna) and they wouldn't be being screwed over by the big supermarkets reducing the price they pay for their milk. Do you buy locally produced milk - or do you buy the cheapest ?
And do you think those airplanes travel to New Zealand empty? Of course not - they're carrying this country's exports to sell abroad - otherwise the UK would go bankrupt - we exist on international trade.
How do I know? My family have been farmers since the year dot, and my brother is a big onion and potato producer for the supermarkets and my OH is the Fruit and Veg manager for a farm shop.
I could go on - life's more complicated than a lot of people realise
For ants! Why on earth would you???
I use a strimmer - carefully - by midsummer most of the beds have blowsy perennials flopping over so they're propped up before mowing and strimming, then I use a small electric Flymo Power Trim which works well once you've got the hang of it as long as you have a straight eye or use a straight edge (I have a long roof batten). I don't let OH do the edging.
Good morning Fg and anyone else who's about
Drizzling here at the moment - hope it clears up as we're heading south a bit later to meet up with friends from Germany and Wiltshire for a beach picnic in Suffolk.
Hope everyone has a good day today
Clari ((hugs))
Pdoc - au revoir et bon voyage!
If you're digging the allotment just dig the nest up - the ants will move on but not far away - they may well rescue the grubs and take them with them - if not the birds will have them.
It looks like some sort of sedum ...

Reviews Comments: Great Stuff!
Great Stuff!
"The Dreamer" comic is a fantastically drawn and written story about a girl named Beatrice Whaley who keeps on having strange dreams. Of course, everyone get weird dreams, but her dreams actually feel and look REAL. It's as if it's reality, and...possibly, might be. This comic is really interesting because the "dreams" are set in the American Revolution, and how many comics are set in that time period? Also, it's pretty fast-paced and crazy, so you never know what might happen next (especially when you only have Friday updates).

A pleasant surprise from Hyatt
Yesterday I received an email from Hyatt which surprised me. A few weeks ago I was in Chicago and to work towards my Diamond renewal opted to do some hotel hopping. So in the midst of this, I happened to stay at a new Hyatt and this marked my 50th Hyatt property that I stayed at. In honor of this momentus occasion, Hyatt granted me a free night usable at any Hyatt worldwide. Definitely a nice perk and one I didn't expect. I wonder what my 100th Hyatt will bring...

If you look at the pictures published you think, great relaxing vacation by they beach. Truth is, what they sell, is only part true.
For starters, our room selection was not what they gave us, so we had to change, AND there is no beach, so you must come in with the mentality of being in a cruise, and lounging by the pool, but no beach. So the picture showing the lounge beds on the beach, not true.
Second of all, 12 lounge beds in total for 30 rooms?
Beach towels, also in limited numbers.
No bathroom shower mats, so we used a towel.
Hot water? Call the front desk to tell them to turn it on.
Pool-side bar and restaurant?, closes around 3 pm
The swimming pool needs maintenance.
Onsite parking, is outside on the street.
The hotel itself needs maintenance, rusted doors, missing accessories and fixtures in bathrooms, very old towels.
In terms of price, it is not cheap, we were definitely expecting a lot more.
