Just in case you didn’t get enough, I’m embedding the song clip again so please feel free to pick up wherever you left off! (Music by Nafshenu)
Our epic horah continued with the traditional chairs – as we were hoisted high up into the air!
I’m only a little (LOT) scared!
It’s the papas’ turns!
And then the mamas!
This may actually be my favorite picture from the whole day!
Everyone is safely back on the ground and it’s time for some more dancing!
My oldest and closest guy friends circle my dad and me!
Oh—I should point out here because you can clearly see it—my bustle broke moments into the dancing!! I spent almost 45 minutes with that heavy dress slung over my arm, and my sister pinned it up for me when we finally took a break for food!
And Mr. HC and I finish it off!
(OK, I got a little…glowing…but hey! I was a dancing machine!)
Oh, but there is more to come!
Hermit Crab wedding tip #21:
Enjoy yourself! Seriously! This was probably the most fun I have ever had, and I tried to enjoy every moment (broken bustle and all)!

This is awesome. But the music won’t play on my mac. 
I know I could go find a hora anywhere on the internet, but I wanna listen to YOUR hora!
Oh man, I LOVE your recaps! I love love love that both you and Mr. HC are smiling like loons the entire time! What a wonderful wedding!
I love the hora and yours was truly epic (ours didn’t last nearly as long!)
My favorite moment from ours was looking down at one of the groomsmen holding my chair up and he looks up at me and say “Don’t worry, we’ve MOSTLY got you!”
Oh I love your favorite picture of the day! That is the BEST expression. Your horah looked like so much fun! I’ve never been to a jewish wedding and totally feel like I’ve been missing out!
My bustle broke during our hora too! I just let it fly!
