Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 Well (in case anyone is interested...as you don't seem to be, I am still going to tell you all anyhow...) My youngest daughter Zehava got engaged this evening to Moishi Dansky from Gateshead! They had been meeting all the week, and had become progressively more open, frank and honest in their discussions. It seems that Moishi fell for her pretty much straightaway, he only had to wear down my daughter's initial doubts and resistence which he did very dashingly and forcefully this afternoon, when he told her he wanted to marry her and that was that! Apparently he stopped the car in the middle of the Finchley Road, with a bus hooting behind him...went up to the bus driver and said " Can you wait a minute? I am just going to propose. " The bus driver, amused, waited, and Moishi opened the passenger door and said " Zehava Pearlman will you marry me? " To which she replied " Yes but please get back in the car, I am dying of embarrassment! " Then he went back to the bus driver, thanked him for waiting and told him he could be the first to congratulate them. Since they arrived back home (around 7 pm.) the phone and door haven't stopped ringing. All my kids who live locally have been round of course, plus Zehava's friends, plus some of his friends who haven't yet gone back to Yeshivah in Israel, plus plus plus... We are making an official engagement party on Wednesday this week, as I am teaching my antenatal classes tomorrow night, and Moishi's parents haven't yet met their new daughter in law. They are coming down on Tuesday. The party will be in a local venue and catered, so I don't have too much work to do for that. As to the wedding, the engagement won't be long as I have said before, the young couple are not allowed to kiss or even touch, so it isn't fair to have long drawn out engagements. Probably February or maybe even January. As to a ring, I have no idea yet but my daughter has very fixed ideas as to what she wants!! They look very happy and at ease with each other now. Here are some pics. http://www.ruthiepearlman.com/pictures/zehavmoishi1.jpg http://www.ruthiepearlman.com/pictures/zehavmoishi2.jpg http://www.ruthiepearlman.com/pictures/zehavmoishi3.jpg Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2001 Report Share Posted October 21, 2001 >My youngest daughter Zehava got engaged this evening to Moishi Dansky >from Gateshead! Congratulations to all concerned. :-) Tis a sign of the times these mobile phones! One of the first pics of me postnatally is with a phone glued to my ear. Sadly not a mobile (not allowed on mat ward - wouldn't have to worry if they didn't insist on all those monitors being around lol) but the one that was next to my bed. I think I was arranging an overdraft rather than spreading the good news though! -- Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and very thankful to God too, that we have found a lovely son in law and someone to make our last daughter very happy. > > > As to the wedding, the engagement won't be long as I have said before, > > the young couple are not allowed to kiss or even touch, > > not touch - awwwww not even hold hands? It depends on how strictly orthodox the young couple are; I must confess that DH and I did hold hands a bit (sort of intertwined little fingers) but he felt guilty about it! and my eldest daughter and her DH had quite a cuddle session once in a deserted car park when the hormones overcame them!! This young couple probably will stick to the rules, if I know them, but maybe I don't! I do know he is VERY keen on her, and she says she can see herself slowly falling in love.

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 >My youngest daughter Zehava got engaged this evening to >Moishi Dansky from Gateshead! Hooray! You’re right, these things are quick! I’m glad for all of you that she decided she liked him after all. They do look happy (if a bit embarrassed about all the pictures). And so very young! And what a great engagement story Of course we’re interested, Ruthie. Phyllis (and I’m amazed you let Yeshaya keep his mobile for that long. Maybe I’m a cheapskate, but even one large phone bill would have had him back on pay as you go...) __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2001 Report Share Posted October 22, 2001 Congratulations Ruthie on Zehava's engagement!! (I nearly wrote Yeshaya's engagement - bit of a freudian slip ;o)) ) It all sounds very romantic, just over a week ago she'd never met him and now she has a wedding to plan and look forward to - what fun! The photos are lovely and I'm sure they'll be a very happy couple. Not touching though until after the wedding - tough one! Best wishes to you all! Hannah -----Original Message----- From: ruthie@...

Not touching though > until after the wedding - tough one! > > Best wishes to you all! > Hannah It is, very tough, which is why some young couples succumb to a bit of cheating here and there! and why we intend keeping the engagement as short as is practically feasible But in some very strict Hassidic sects (to which we don't belong) they advocate the young couple not seeing each other at all from engagement to wedding, to avoid this problem! My kids would have found this impossibly hard; since the dating period was so brief, the engagement, even 3 months of it, is used to get to know each other a lot better which you can do without touching!
