This is for the wedding in an auspicious time. It’s in the month of Adar, so you must be extra joyous. May your wellsprings spread to the outside; with increased joy. (Collage)

Some melancholy people take issue with celebrating during the first month of Adar. Why argue with those joyless people? The Rema rules, “A cheerful person always celebrates.” If there was room for doubt, “always celebrate.”

May you share joyous news – the month of Adar brings especially good fortune, as does the following month, Nissan.

Your wedding date falls out at just the right time to “increase in joy,” since there are sixty days of Adar this year.
