WEDDINGS ARE FOR REAL
-------------------------------------------------------------
<joshu
	OK, now, chevre, I need mamash silence.  Chevre, right now,nothing matters, the most important thing is, the Kedushin (theholiness) should be mamash two billion per cent.
{Said prior to the witnesses}

-----------------------------------------------------------------
THE SERIOUSNESS OF WEDDINGS
< W-j&o
Mazal Tov, we need absolute silence with the deepest concentrationfrom the depths of the heart. 
------------------------------------------------------------------
================================================================
<W-J&n
I would like to ask you a favor  from the very bottom of my soul please don't talk to each other.. There is a a way ofcommunicating with each other that is deeper than words . And thisis the level we are on right now.
SINGING

-----------------------------------------------------------
================================================================
< my.ak

 I'm begging you, absolutely no talking, really, mamash, please,just to give honor to bride and the groom and to give honor to theOne who really organized this wedding, forty days before 
`
[To bride & groom] this is the time to extract yourself from thisworld.  [To the parents]   This is just {Hebrew missing} betweenthem and G-d.  Because the Gemora says, even as a person is born,G-d asks you in the last second, "Would you like to be born?"  Andwe say, "Yes."  That means we have choice.  You know, we are somuch G-d--like that G-d gives us always choice.  So right now it's like G-d is asking you one more time, "Do you really want tomarry each other?"  And who are we, little human beings to intrudein that holy moment.  
----------------------------------------------------------------
================================================================
< w-s&s
	You know friends I just want you to know the higher it is theharder it is to be quiet because brother Devil wants to do nythingin the world but let it not be beautiful, so please make urselvesstrong. I'm begging you.  
	I want to share something with you very very deep.  
================================================================
< W-y&s
 
      You know, beautiful friends, when you stand there, you haveno time for penance,

{I think 'pennance' here is a translation of 'tchuva' in thesense of the sort of halachic strictness -- to the point ofrather jarring interruptions -- soetimes associated with theba'al tchuva movement --sa }
l1

don't involve them in penance, okay, you know G_d forbid, if youwant to save somebody's life, you don't buy cigarettes, right? inthis minute, our whoel life depends on this minute, our deepestprayer...music...
================================================================

< w-r&z

Now my friends, you see the greatness of this world, is that thereis absolute free choice.  Every minute, every second, you havefree choice to be in heaven, or you have free choice to be inhell.  I'm begging you friends, please, let's be in heaventonight.  And if you don't feel like being in heaven, G-d forbid,then please don't put your hell on somebody who wants to be inheaven.  I'm begging you please be quiet.  I'm begging you.  Everysound you utter is disturbing.  It's not fair to the Chattan andCallah.  It's their day, their Yom Kippur.  It's their MountSinai, their Yerushalayim.  		       

----------------------------------------------------------------
===============================================================
< w-y&b

	There is a time to make oneself big and there is a time tomake oneself very,  very small. And you make yourself biggest ifyou make yourself small.  So can everybody completely forget theirown ego, their own being, just be here to bring joy to {the bride& groom}. That's all we're here for, nothing else matters.              

---------------------------------------------------------
< W-Y&B (?)

    Ok now my most most precious brothers and sisters, do you haveany idea what a privilege it is to be at a wedding.  You know theGemorrah says, can you imagine, if you would have been there atthat moment when G-d created Heaven and earth, when nobody wasthere but G-d.  The same way, G-d is creating a new world, mamasha Mashicah world and we all have the privilege to be there,
