aribI didn't get the monstrously long bracha this time.
Okay, for the week after a wedding, friends and family of the bride and groom have small (or not so small) parties celebrating the recent wedding. At the end of the meal, following the Grace After Meals, seven blessings are said over a glass of wine, with each blessing traditionally recited by a different person. The first two blessings are one line each, three through five are roughly four lines or so, six is a rather large paragraph, and seven is the traditional one line blessing made over wine.
I usually get stuck with six, since more often than not I'm the only one in the room who can carry a tune. I got the first one this time, though. *whew*
