Don't lock your knees!
Just as I was feeling a little fidgety
on stage, worried the muscles in my
hand could very well lock permanent-

bride addressed me. "Psst," she said.
"Move over."
Move over? The stage was all of
four feet wide. And hey, the wedding
planner never said the bride was
allowed to boss me during the cere-
mony. So I evaluated the chuppa, cer-
tain that my pole was not properly
angled, and therefore causing the fab-

ersome to the bride.
Not the case. But my cousin told
me again to move, this time motion-

quet. The rabbi, meanwhile, was
pouring wine or something.
Thankfully, I got the message
without causing her to miss an

important question. My cousin was
afraid our seriously petite grandma
couldn't see and wanted me to scoot
out of her sight line. Not the treat-
ment an honorable chuppa holder
might expect, but for my grandma, I
can let it go.
I've attended a lot of weddings in
the last couple of years, now that my
friends are approaching their sobering
mid-to-late-20s. But the experience
of being part of the wedding —
cially for someone with whom i used
to play pretend fast-food restaurant
(we took the orders, our brothers
played customers) — is rather extro -
ordinary.
I think my cousin put it best, as
we were summoned from the dressing
room to pose for bridal party pic-
tures. Looking like she stepped out of
a fairy tale, my-cousin-the-bride
turned to me and said, "Isn't this just
the weirdest thing we've ever done?"
