Most chasanim and kallos , and their parents, have special kavanos as they get ready to walk down the aisle and start building a Bayis Neeman BYisrael. I also will have kavanos that I can remain Tahor and will think of all of you are on this wonderful site not just during the walk to the chupah but throughout the simcha.

I stand by my original post "I wish I could invite you..."

In my situation taking EVERYONE and EVERYTHING into account at this time, I believe it beat to keep my anonymity. Perhaps this will change in the future.
It appears from the posts "most" of you understand this.

We all do not have the same situation etc.

There has been no lack of honesty here or anywhere on my posts.


T'was just a joke. ...oilam too serious here. ...don't worry so much

My fault - should have realized. The written word and its lack of reflective tone can sometimes be misleading.

Will try to be lomed zechus more

each night, everyone should drink one woodford, one macallan 18 and one heineken, and this way, they will be yotzei for some gye simcha.

just had a couple of slips.

I read over my testimonial of 180 days and it got me back on track. It was close however.

Haven't been like this in months - YIKES!

Only by the grace of the Almighty did I not fall.

I need to learn more. I believe it is that change that would help me.

Just needed to say this and vent.

serenity - if I am not honest then there is no point.

Also its healthy for me to know I gotta keep on my toes
and continue to learn and grow.

I am very busy and I take for granted what I see I have no business taking for granted

TalmidChaim - thank you for taking something that was gnawing away at me, and making it a positive and motivational experience. (lemons into lemonade)

I feel the same way. I feel so close to all my dear friends here and would love them at my simcha. Then maybe you are my brother, cousin, mechiten, or even son in law and really are at my simcha

All of your talk of my (future) son-in-law, or (present) father-in-law could be here on gye? And he might even be YOU, is starting to get me a little nervous. All of us here are striving to grow and that's nothing at all to be ashamed of, yet some of my past mistakes... well, they can be a little embarrassing if you know what I mean.

I have not seen any posts from Shmeichel for a long time. Does anyone know why?

I miss him. I tried contacting him by e-mail but did not receive a response.
