The night before our wedding, dhole and his friends went to see Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, and played card and board games. I don't believe there was much drinking. The serious drinking had been done the night before; dhole had something of a hangover at the aufruf.

My friends and younger female relatives and I had a henna party at my parents' house. Not a real traditional Sephardi one, just a bunch of girls hanging out and painting each other. And doing a bit of drinking, those of us who were of drinking age. I don't remember anyone getting more than a little tipsy, though.
