And so...Part 1: Friday night
In Judaism, the Sabbath day begins on Friday night at sundown and continues until Saturday night at sundown, and it is called Shabbat (the Hebrew word for Sabbath). Friday nights have become incredibly important to Mr. Hermit Crab and I, as we make sure that Friday night dinners are always at home, often with lots of company, and of course, copious amounts of delicious food. Also, one of the first things we did together when we started dating was attend Friday night services and dinner together at our Hillel, the Bronfman Center. I am happy to say that we will be spending the Friday night of our wedding weekend once again at the Bronfman Center.

The NYU Bronfman Center is a beautiful old brownstone near NYU that will be the perfect setting for our first wedding event.

Friday night we will have our closest family join us. This will be a group of about 35 people (and this is our close family - now you know why we are having 300!) and will be a wonderful way for us to enjoy our families before the craziness of the weekend really sets in. We will start with Friday night services that will give us the opportunity to set the mood, and to welcome and thank our families. We will then head downstairs for a family Shabbat dinner, complete with lighting the candles, drinking wine, and eating freshly baked challah (and a full delicious meal, of course!).
I am really looking forward to Friday night. We will be able to kick off our wedding weekend in a place that is meaningful for us both personally and for our relationship, with the people that we are closest to.
Will you be able to incorporate personally historic locations into your wedding? What are you doing to kick off your wedding events?
