It’s a little funny to me sometimes who are friends are. Or rather how good they are at their trade.
Anyways. We asked our friends Billy and Annette, who happen to both be Architects, to design us a Chuppah structure for the Wedding. I mean, it only makes sense. Right? Our other Architect friends in San Francisco designed and made the dresses for the Wedding Party. So since we already outsourced them for that project and since Annette and Billy were close… well it just made sense to us. Anyways… Enough about Architects.
So shortly after asking Billy and Annette about the Chuppah they came down from New York to cut down bamboo in the ‘hood. Well they actually came down for Annette’s surprise baby shower, but we can all pretend what they were really here for. Then just this week we got the plans. It’s kind of funny how most of our projects involve floor plans, schematics and blue prints. It’s amazing. I love it. And I think a CAD drawing of the Chuppah is coming soon. Yay.
The actual Chuppah was made from blank squares we gave to our close friends and family. We saw the first peek at what it should look like completed last night and it’s beautiful.
And Annette’s Mother rules. She’s from the Phillipines and can’t really pronounce certain words how we do. So Chuppah (which sounds like Huppah - with that raspy Jewish sounding “ch” sound in the begining…) sounds like “Choopie” (the ch sounding just like it’s spelled). Totally rules.
