| After a lovely buffet dinner, Barbie and Shelley thank the guests
and acknowledge all of the wedding party and helpers.
Generally at a wedding, I'd be standing up to welcome a new member to our family. But it seems as if Barbie has been a member of our family forever. Regardless of that, I want to welcome you, and your family, all over again. Barbie, you have truly been a life line for Shelley, for that we are most grateful. Both of you are deeply loved by all the Diamonds. You have been the generation bridge between our daughters an us. Part of their being the fine women they are today is due to you. We wish you all the happiness and wonderful health you so richly deserve to share your lives together. L'Chaim. To Life! |
The First Dance |
| After The First Dance, and a Family Dance, it is time to cut the cake. Cake and sparkling cider are passed to every guest with the blessings "May you never hunger; May you never thirst." |
The Cake |
| The party continues until everybody is ready to collapse. It was a fete to remember forever. |
