my biggest fear is claustrophobia…my parents would like to make a vort in a hall which should hold about 200 people but i am expecting between 350-400…should i be nervous or assume people come and go and itll all be good!??!
people dont stay long
and they come at different times
shouldnt be a problem
You’ve got bigger issues to worry about. Like the fact that (if memory serves me correct) this is the first time the CR is seeing mention that you’re engaged.
As far as capacity, a vort is a come-and-go affair, so its doubtful you’ll have all 400 there at one time.
Nu, how big a rock? And what kind of watch did he get?
Mazel tov! Wonderful news!
I did see a C. Shapiro engaed on Only simchas.com this week, and was wondering if it might be you!!
Advice I give to everyone I hear who is getting married:
(1) Do things the way you want them, not the way others’ want. This is YOUR wedding, not your parents’, not your in-laws’.
(2) Don’t spend too much money.
Can you have this event in a shul social hall? They can be much less expensive.
Wasn’t there takanos to eliminate the VORTS which really is a Chassidishe minhag?
Is he a football player?
Mazal tov!
“Also my fiance is not from brooklyn”
“he is chassidishe and a football player 🙂 “
Not from Brooklyn and Chasisishe?…
Just joking, Mazal Tov!!!
Mazel tov, C. Much happines in your future bayis ne’eman.
Firstly Mazal Tov I also saw it on Only Simchas and was waiting for the announcement on the CR.
Secondly, people come and go and rarely do all the people we expect to come, come. For whatever reasons people wind up not coming even though they want to or plan to. A vort is not a wedding and no one plans to stay for very long. If you chosson’s family and friends live 2 hours away don’t expect to many to show up and even if they do, they might come, leave for a while and come back. Since it is not a sit down dinner, and it is spread out over many hours the place will be big enough. You have no clue as to when people will show up, so don’t worry so much about it. It is what it is and it will be fine. It falls on your parents shoulders if it is crowded or if their is a problem no yours. YOUR job is to just relax, enjoy and have a great time.
Mazel Tov. May Hashem bless both of you with long, happy and healthy lives together. May all of your relatives “kleib nachas” from now until long after the chupa is a moth eaten piece of fabric. The best of your lives is yet to come.
I can direct you to some synagogue social halls in the Bronx that can handle around 350-400.
Mazal tov, C! May you and Sh be zocheh to build a BNBY b’simcha, ahava, achva, sholom, v’rayus.
Does your guestimate include the CR members you expect to crash?
Mazel Tov!
Mazal tov! Coffee room simachos are always extra nice!
Another point that doesn’t seem to have been mentioned, but vorts are always claustrophobic for the kallah, no matter how large or small the hall is. That’s the price of being a kallah (everyone surrounding you, hugging and kissing you, squishy pictures, etc.)
Our vort was not claustrophobic because we didn’t have one. We also didn’t have tenaim. We did have a nice “friends meet the bride” pot luck in my hometown and a “friends meet the groom” pot luck in hers. Also a nice wedding and Baruch HaShem a nice marriage.
Charlie: The nice marriage that you speak of is better than a hundred parties. A happy life together is the best reward that you can ever have. May it continue for both of you – together – bist a hoondred und tzvantzig and beyond.
Mazel tov C.
From the onlysimchas page, it looks like you got your football player.
iyh ull find that super awesome girl who adores you and agrees with ur views… :))
Thanks! My wife hopes not.
(If I’m married.)
Assumption makes a donkey out of u and umption. That’s what I heard.
sorry popa it’s a donkey out of U and MPTION if you want to say like that
Get rid of the vort, too much money,taaruvos, and bitul torah.
When do I get to meet the football player?
Mazel tov again from me & Uncle Yitzchok!
