Congratulations

[debka_notion]

Mazal Tov to sharonaf and Phillip on their engagement.

ANd relatedly- I still think that it's odd that in English we're supposed to wish a bride 'Best Wishes' and a groom 'Congratulations'. I don't get it, but there it is, so I'll be ridiculously proper and stick with it. Sharona, best wishes, and Phillip, Congratulations. That announcement made my day.

I can see your point, although I was rather thinking of it in the other old-fashioned perspective that going from your parents' house to a house where you're keeping up the housework yourself, and being in charge of a home is rather difficult- especially since guys tended to be holding down jobs before their marriage, but women generally weren't the primary house-caretaker until they married... Still out of date. But sort of amusing, somehow.
