We slept in a bit since our first plans were lunch but still enjoyed a nice breakfast at home with Arielle’s parents. We drove to Beverly Hills for the lunch, which was hosted by family friends of the Schlesingers’ and featured only friends and family on the bride’s side. Abe was delighted to finally meet Elana Neshkes, who he had heard plenty about from his Hebrew school friend Miriam (and from Arielle and Lisa). The homemade food was very good, and while it was sunny and hot, the backyard setting was beautiful. Arielle was thrilled to find out that Jay, whose adult children were hosting the lunch, was a longtime customer of her grandfather’s - a small world indeed. On the theme of Lisa, Abe dropped Arielle off at our friend Shiri’s house so that they could spend the afternoon working on shtick posters for the next day. They traveled together to the Shabbat Kallah at Lisa’s cousin’s home, throughout which Arielle sobbed, and then returned to Shiri’s to work for several more hours on the shtick, the most impressive of which was a life-size Bartenura Moscato bottle referencing Lisa’s love for the sweet bubbly. Abe, fresh off a productive afternoon and evening of much-needed TV marathoning, picked Arielle up around ten o’clock to come home for a relaxing and low-key night.
