February 20, 2011 5:17 am at 5:17 am #743429aries2756ParticipantWhat exactly is the question or the problem?

I don’t remember, it was quite a while ago.
In any event, it’s not like we announced it at the wedding (we would never upstage someone else’s wedding like that). We were already eight months along and just about everyone there already knew about it long before.

It had nothing to do with whether it made me feel good or not. I did it because my sister-in-law wanted it and it was her wedding. End of story.

I don’t understand your question. Her parents (my in-laws) were there. They walked down with her later.

did you feel confortable going down that capet in back of your inlaws? was it only you two,the couple?) or any other married siblings from the family?

Since my in-laws were the parents of the bride, they walked in last (as is customary). As such we walked in ahead of them.
The chosson went first with his mother, then various grandparents and siblings of the chosson and kallah (including us) and then the kallah.
I still don’t see what the issue here is. If you think I did something wrong, just come out and say it.

P.S. Please learn to use the “em” tag, or at least put quotes around the part you are quoting from another poster. Your posts are difficult to read.

February 20, 2011 3:02 pm at 3:02 pm #743438apushatayidParticipantIs there a problem with attending a family simcha? Are you asking attending at what expense?

We all think you must have done something wrong, we’re just trying to figure out what. 🙂 Please note the smiley. I’m joking. 🙂
February 23, 2011 1:54 am at 1:54 am #743440mosheroseMemberWhy do women besides the kallah and the mothers walk down anyway? Isnt that a total lack of tznius? Who needs to see the sisters cousins friends and grandmothers? Theres no mekor for any of them (besides the mothers) to walk down the aisle.
February 23, 2011 11:36 am at 11:36 am #743441ProfessionalMemberMoshe, thanks for articulating. I dont express an opinion.
February 23, 2011 3:33 pm at 3:33 pm #743443SJSinNYCMemberNever mind that there is no mechitza between the men and women! Women are in plain sight!
February 23, 2011 4:08 pm at 4:08 pm #743444WolfishMusingsParticipantIn fact I think women shouldn’t even be invited to the wedding (other than the kallah)
You can go even further… you don’t need the kallah there either. Have her appoint her father as a shliach to accept kiddushin for her. Then she doesn’t have to be there at all.
After the wedding, the father can then drive the kallah to her new husband’s apartment (thus completing the nisuin) in total privacy and with complete tznius. 🙂
