Weird Weddings

I was at a marriage in Vermont last week between a reformed Jew and a Lutheran. They had a Rabbi and a Priest doing the service. The Rabbi was a gay Irishman with a great singing voice. It was a curious affair because sometimes the Rabbi was singing away in Hebrew, other times the Priest was chanting in Latin, and occasionally both of them were simultaneously repeating the same phrases from their shared scriptures, coming through in stereo as it were. Afterwards, at the party, we did the chair dance thing from Fiddler on the Roof.

Maybe you had to be there. I enjoyed it, but some people would have hated it.
