I got married in a hall with only half a ceiling left.
We didn’t notice it, others did.
We might have been the last couple to get married there (12 years ago). Definitely one of the last.
There really isn’t much we could have given up on.
I’m the oldest of a large chevra ba”h, and I sure didn’t want to set an expensive precedent.
Didn’t and still doesn’t matter one iota.
