You read that correctly…it’s time for the Hermit Crab recaps to commence!
A little explanation of the title for my recaps: L’Chaim! is Hebrew for “To Life!” Chai is actually Hebrew for “18″ or “Life.” 18 is considered something of a lucky number in the Jewish tradition, and oftentimes people will give gifts in multiples of $18 (that could explain the gift of $36 or $72 that you once received!).
It is a commonly used phrase to celebrate happy occasions, especially at the beginning of a toast—it’s something like the Hebrew “Cheers!”
And because there was quite a bit of this…
followed by this…
I thought it might just be an appropriate title to set the scene!
Oh, and the “is for Lovers”—I just thought the whole phrase really captured the feeling of love, laughing and l’chaim-ing that was our wedding weekend.
We’ll be kicking off the wedding weekend with Family Friday Night Shabbat Dinner. Don’t go anywhere!

Woot! Really looking forward to reading and seeing all about your day! I need pics!
LOVE the title of your recaps!!! We received a check for our wedding for $756 - 7+5+6 = 18! At first when we got it we were like huh? but then someone explained to us and we thought it was pretty cool!
Whooo hooo! I love well thought out titles and I love it when families really get into toasting.
YAY!! Can’t wait to hear all about your wedding weekend!
Yippeeee, I can’t wait to read your recaps. I have been patiently waiting hoping wishing and knowing you would return to share some good stuff with us 
Can’t wait for this to begin. I love the word L’Chaim and one of my favorite songs from Fiddler on the Roof is the same name.
So excited for your recaps! And thanks for the explanation of Chai - I always wondered!
Thank you to everyone for the warm welcome back! It makes me even MORE pumped to dive in!
@Mrs. Glasses:hahah
Yay! I’ve been anxiously awaiting your recaps. Can’t wait!
