Going to a Jewish wedding

[welsh]

Dudes, your antisemitism is shameful.

Its a Jewish wedding, it should be a lot of fun. Lots of dancing, singing, and some odd celebrations.

And don't tell the joke, "what's the difference between a jew and a pizza?"

Well, it's not like they take out their wallets and pay them. They usually put it in a card or an envelope with best wishes, I assume.

Yeah, remember the wedding in Goodfellas? Henry's wife was Jewish and it seemed the wedding was themed that way. The guests all lined up with envelopes full of cash ("something to help you get started").

What, noone is being antisemitic here. Or at least i didnt notice.

but yeah i would love to go to one just to sing and dance "hava nagila", everyone in chorus singing it, with the bride and groom being carried in chairs by the guests. now thats a fun wedding.

and to say "mazel tov", the words itself are funny and cute.

oh, and jewish girls...

I don't see anything wrong with giving or receiving money as a wedding gift. Sure, a good gift is better, but a bad gift is worse. I'd rather have money than a lamp or a toaster, for instance.

Here's my wedding tip: by default I always give the couple a comprehensive home medical guide. It's something no one else will give them, and they will use it someday, even if it sits on a shelf for ten years. Not flashy, but smart.

You are going to give money to your friend?

What are you, his uncle? :p

It's not like it's his birthday. Money is sort of like a better version of a gift card if you ask me, just as long as its appropriate.

Especially if money is expected then why the hell not? I've been to a wedding of this Russian friend and the rule was to estimate their cost of seating and feeding me and bring a sum accordingly. So if the food for one person at a restaurant cost them like 70 bucks then it's good to bring something like 70-100. It wasn't so much a rule as it was the norm. If that's their thing I'm not going to judge, I'll just bring 70-100 bucks and have a good time.

What does that mean anyway?
