This was not the kind of crisis she was in the mood to deal with on a Friday afternoon

The Wetman family chat was having a squeal attack.

Raizy grinned, letting Yitzchok splash in his bath while she sat on the floor following the commotion on her phone.

MAZEL TOV!!! What a huge simchah!! I’m sooooo excited!!!!

OMG, Tziri’s becoming my double-cousin! Cutest family!!!

Is there a l’chayim in the house tonight? Time?

Absfeld, from the dry cleaners? HIS MOTHER WAS MY EIGHTH-GRADE TEACHER!!!!!

Maaaaazel tov! I can’t believe it! Tziri is still that cute little girl in pigtails in my mind! Whoa, time flies. Yeah, l’chayim deets? Please share.

Yitzchok was flooding the bathroom, but in her delirious excitement, Raizy barely noticed. Two of her brothers had gotten engaged and married since her own wedding, plus Leah. It was her kid sister’s turn now, and she couldn’t believe it. She just couldn’t believe that Tziri, who’d barely quit sucking her thumb, was the girl of the hour, a newly minted kallah.

The difference between a brother and a sister getting engaged was that a brother was a brother and a sister was… a sister.

Also, when it’s a sister, you’re the one making the simchah. That’s just how it was. Which meant that it didn’t matter what time the l’chayim would take place, Raizy needed to run over to her parents’ house to set up said l’chayim.
