Obviously, something as complex as a wedding doesn't just happen,
and we had a lot of help from some very special friends.
Rabbi Dessler stressed the importance of expressing
gratitude in his book "Michtav Eliyahu",
and since we agree with him, here's the big thankyou...
Even though many of the people listed here would probably say
'oh, it was nothing',
we still want to give thanks where they are due...
