my husband & I walked 3 of our children down to the chuppah. In June our last child got married. the kallah has divorced parents & she was the first of ka’h 9 children to be married. her mother asked me would I mind if the 2 mothers walked her daughter down because she was so uncomfortable being around her ex-husband; & the 2 fathers would walk my son down. in my heart, I felt really badly about not walking my last child, my son, down to the chuppah with my husband; but the machataynesta turned out to be such a sweet lady (we met for the first time @ the wedding cuz they all flew in from Israel),< plus knowing the circumstances of the divorce>, that I cheerfully agreed … & B’H it was still great!! .. I survived, & the divorced parents were able to remain out of each other’s way.
