The envelopes were all addressed, the stamps were put on the envelopes, and the invitations were ready to be mailed.
 
Mr. & Mrs. Mordechai Moontik, and Mrs. Donnershtik, took one more look at the Russian side of the last invitation before sealing it. The invitations read:
 
Mr. & Mrs. Mordechai Moontik, and Mr. & Mrs. Dovid Donnershtik, Request the Honor of Your Presence at the Marriage of Their Children SHANE YINGEL, and SHAYNA MAIDEL on Tuesday, the Second of September, Two Thousand and Eight, At Six O'clock in the Evening. Shalom Shul, Yenemvelt, Europe.
 
Mrs. Donnershtik felt a tear roll down her cheek as she sealed the last envelope.  It was a tear of joy.  Her beautiful daughter was marrying a handsome young man from a very fine family. It was the up, and coming, event in Yenemnvelt, and all its inhabitants were talking about it. Soon the replies started coming. Mr. & Mrs. Kumtahair would come. Mr. & Mrs. Simchagait, and Mr. & Mrs. Gayvieter were traveling a long distance just to see Shayna Maidel get married. Mr. & Mrs. Fielekinder were coming with all their children, and Mrs. Rajinkas was coming with Mrs. Mandlin.
 
Unfortunately, Mr. & Mrs. Keinekoyach did not have the strength for such a long trip, and had to decline the invitation, as did Mr. & Mrs. Fahrshtaitnit. Mr. Donnershtik made a mental note to call Mrs. Fahrshtaitnit in case there was a misunderstanding.

The day of the khasana finally arrived. Everyone was all excited. Mr. Donnershtik received a phone call from Mrs. Rachmonas. Apparently Mrs. Krankeit wasn't feeling well, and Mrs. Rachmonas did not want to leave her alone. So both ladies would not be able to attend the khasana. Mr. & Mrs. Schpatzeer decided to walk to the shul since it was only two blocks from where they lived. Mr. & Mrs. Shpatseernisht drove. Mr. & Mrs. Shluffengut arrived a little late but, Baruch Hashem, they didn't miss the khuppah. Mr.& Mrs. Goornisht forgot to bring the present, and Mr. & Mrs. Kochleffel checked everyone's attire. Mr. & Mrs. Essengut went right to the buffet table. Mr. & Mrs. Shicker went to the bar. Mr. & Mrs. Tantsmaven went to check out the band. Mr. & Mrs. Yenta greeted everyone as they came in. One would have thought it was their simkha. Mrs. Klug looked very smart in her tailored suit, and Mr. Vachzenzolstdu wore his new suit. Mr. & Mrs. Oysgapitst looked elegant. Mr. &Mrs. Zager were right on time, but Mr. & Mrs. Farshpatig were detained, and did not arrive until right before the Khupah.
 
Everyone from both sides of the family came, and ate, and danced, and had a wonderful time. All agreed that it was one of the nicest, most fraylakh, khasanas they had ever attended.
 
The next day, Mrs. Donnershtik called Mrs. Krankeit to see how she was feeling. Mrs. Krankeit said she was feeling a little better, and wanted to know all about the khasana. "What food did you serve?" she asked. Mrs. Donnershtik told her all about the buffet, and the chicken dinner, and the delicious desserts.
 
"Did the neighbors come?" asked Mrs. Krankeit. "Most of them" answered Mr. Donnershtik. "And what about the families? "Which family members came" asked Mrs. Krankeit.
 
She replied, "Alla Moontiks and Donnershtiks."
