Arielle & Seth's Wedding-Through the Eyes of Skype!!

As expected yesterday was a tough one. Most of the staff that takes care of Lex were aware that she was sad and several visted her throughout the day, thank you Ruth, Karin, Ash and Dr. Gesundheit you definitly helped put a smile on Lex's face. Mo and I went shopping in the Carmel Market in the morning for supplies for our 'wedding' feast then I left Mo in the apartment cooking all day long, preparing a meal to rival any gourmet restaurant! Savoury goulash with vegetables and beef, basmati rice with lentils and cinnamon twist cookies for desert. At 4pm Israel time we turned on the computer to skype Lex's girlfriends getting their hair and make-up done for the wedding, the girls were incredibly generous with their time each one made the effort to sit and chat with her throughout the morning. Lex even got to see Arielle in her wedding gown before she left for Casa Loma for a photo shoot. Rick has spent the last week working out a way for Lex and I to watch the wedding ceremony in the synagogue. The 7 hour time difference made it difficult for us to see the entire wedding but Rick with his assistant's Dani and J cleverly set up a computer in the sanctuary and through skype we were able to watch the wedding procession live from the hospital room, of course, we cried, we smiled and we admired the beautiful bride and bridesmaids and when Seth crushed the glass under his foot we yelled 'Mazel Tov' with all the guests, when the ceremony ended we enthusiastically sang 'Siman Tov and Mazel Tov' and clapped our hands, even though we weren't able to attend the wedding in person we were there in spirit and Arielle, Seth and all Lex's friends new it!
