Weddings

Held in a hall for weddings. Bubbe (Peshe Levy Lipson) did the cooking. Done by friends. Lots of people. Danced to a band at night. Posh affair. Family story that when Sol was going with Eva for a while, Bubbe Friedman (Dina Shulman Friedman) shopped at butcher shop (must have been Itsak Lipson's  Kosher Yatke) and said 'we're going to have to get ready for golden katchkelach (ducks)'. For the engagement Bubbe Lipson sent over the ducks.  At engagement party, a luncheon, the story was that when the ducks were sent, Sol hadn't given Libe the ring yet. After the elaborate dinner, someone rigged a box of candy. Anya started passing it around, when it was Libe's turn they said "take this one!" The ring was wrapped in foil. One of the reasons Libe married him was because Sol was respectful. Friday and Saturday nights, when he picked her up on a date, they were just like any other couple, they ate in restaurants, ate pancakes. That's what she liked about him, he still had respect.  In 1927 Sol was still not an American Citizen. He had to marry but he had to go out of the country, went to Mexico and stayed until the papers came through.
