The Saver

My Wedding Dress
“Edeet Ravel (‘Waiting-Room Wedding with
Veil’) writes: ‘[W]hen I fell in love in what I considered
to be a permanent and final way, I had no intention of
marrying my true love.’ When she did marry, in Israel, it
was because married women ‘were exempt from service’ and
Ravel had been called up to join the army. Her account of
the pre-marriage requirements, her choice of the wedding
outfit, and the ‘shtetl-like atmosphere of burlesque and
improvisation’ of the marriage ceremony are delightfully
comical.”
