Hi Kim and Elana, This great news really made our day! We wish you much bracha and mazel.

ok, being the caring bro and sis in law that we are, we just couldn't leave you guys hanging at 59 posts...so here we are, helping you get to the big 60. We've already come to terms with the fact that you got more posts than us anyway (though only by a few!) so we'll just be happy now, knowing that we were a part of that. Anyway, we feel it's our job to represent our family as a whole and to remind you that we are still (very patiently, we might add) awaiting more pictures, especially from your vort! We heard it was very nice and are quite saddened that we couldn't be there with you (hey, at least the cookies made it there). So we kindly ask that you remember your loving family in this time of happiness, and let us feel as if we are somewhat a part of all your celebrations in E'Y! (ok we'll stop with the guilt trip, but after that speech, we expect pictures pronto!) We really can't wait to see you, though it's not quite soon enough for us! Hope to talk to you soon! Love, Aharon, Devorah and Shlomo Chaim

Mazel Tov! You found a cute one Kim! I'm glad to hear that you found someone. I will go find a bell and ring it. Then we can tie you up. (This is Barry writing) Elana, I hope to meet you soon. Just remember that your marrying a AEPi GT nerd but Kim isn't that bad. Mazel Tov again -Barry and Debbie Hellman

Mazel, Mazel Elana!!! It was so good to talk to you with Kim by your side today while you're in Israel. I wish you and Kim nothing but good health, much love, and a future filled with so much happiness. I'm so glad we're Moodus study buddies and looking forward to a lifelong friendship! Congrats,Jennifer:-)

Mazal Tov Elana (from your apartment-mate at Neve)! So I already told you in person tonight at dinner, but I said I would post something too. I wish you both a lot of bracha and simcha.

Yeah KIM! Mazal tov KIM and Elana. We are so proud of you KIM and we can't wait to see you at the wedding. Shimmy is looking forward to dancing with you and Nechuma got upset when we explained to her that it's not tznua to dance with men. So KIM, we will try to keep Dov under control and restrict his shitck until after the chupah. Well KIM, now people have said mazal to you. Go KIM, congrats KIM, yeh KIM, mazal tov KIM. KIM, KIM, KIM, KIM. Dov, Rivka, Nechuma (!), and Shimmy Shore

Mazel tov from the Freedlander family!

Hi Elana, You may not remember me (and there is a possibility that you aren't the same Elana I know, but I'm pretty sure we went to RTA together...), but I wanted to say Mazel Tov to you. All the best! Holly

Kim, I wish you and your Elana the very best of the blessings of married life! I was one of your teachers at the Hebrew Academy ... I am so pleased for you both and your musical mother, Donna, who was a friend of mine as well. Much happiness and you look absolutely incredible, very handsome and tall (er) than you were back then)! Melissa Goodman

On behalf of the Israel branch of the DCS, we would like to welcome Elana to the better part of the world. From one member to another, I would like to tell you, you have made a very wise choice.

Mazel Tov Elana! I was so happy to see this wonderful news. I'll probably continue to see you more in Atlanta than I did in Baltimore. Mazel Tov also to the whole Fink family, of whom we are very big fans. I know you already know this Kim, but as one of the original roomates I can say for sure, you're getting a great one! Love, Lanie (and Joel and Dani)

Mazal Tov Elana!! I felt like that I really know you since you went to Yeshiva, and then became my cuz's roommate, and then being an OT. I am so happy to hear this wonderful news!!! May you be zoche BNB!!!

Being the "Weiser" family we hold ourselves as an authority on wise choices and we give our stamp of approval on this one. We feel it is a perfectly wise decision on your parts and we should know cause we're "W(e)iser"! We checked in with the wisest of men and he too believes it is a wise choice. So from all the wise people of the world we wish you a huge Mazel Tov! We hope the future holds what your name suggests, many more wise choices that lead to happiness and growth! Love, Malka & Yisroel

As the Embassador of the Deep Creek Society I'd like to extend a DC salute of Mazel Tov to Elana and Kim. The waves of Deep Creek have surely washed ashore some fantastic matches for some of our esteemed members since its inception. Kasha Zivug Kkriyas Yam Suf... well Hashem is splitting that sea and sending ashore some top notch choices. I'd like to take an opportunity to recognize our Founders, Rabbi and Mrs. G. Our home away from home, our sympathetic ears to listen, and mentors. Deep Creek and this beautiful shidduch amongst the others are a testament to your amazing Ahava.I couldn't be happier for both of you. Elana and Kim, married life is work but it gets better with each passing day. I'm so happy you are joining the ranks. L'Chayim to the Chosson and Kallah! DCS continues to expand! May the waves keep rolling in and may the DCS Beach House keep expanding! Love, Your DCA

Mazel Tov Elana!!!! I am so happy for you! May you be zoche to build a bayis neeman b'yisroel!!! Maya (Pelled ) Beck

MAZEL TOV and Much love and good wishes to Elana & Kim and to the Fink family!!!!! It's so great to see such a beautiful kallah and share such exciting news.....All of our love E.J. ,Larry, Sara, Becca , Jake and Bubby Bea

Dear Kim and all the Wise family,, Mazel Tov! We're so excited for you and your parents and your grandparents. Hope you're planning to bring your callah skiing! Marcy and Michael Schreiber, Denver

Mazel tov! this is such awesome news! love eli

I guess we have the honor of being the first family members (other than Raphael) to post. We assume the reason none of Binyomin's friends have posted yet is because they have been shteiging away day and night (along with Binyomin, of course). Although we applaud Binyomin for his proposal at the Kosel, we still think it was pretty rude to "elope" like that. But don't worry, I (your loving brother) took it upon myself to make sure that there were plenty of L'chaims at the Kollel Thusday night. Shlomo Chaim is looking forward to meeting his future Feder...which one should it be, Feder Binyomin, Feder Bennie, Feder Ben...just let us know which one. We see the Gottesmans have already made a "wise" joke, so I guess we'll just lay off making any similar "wise-cracks", or else you'll end up calling us "wise-guys". Elana, we love you very much and are extremely happy for you and Binyomin. You should be zocheh to build a bayis ne'eman b'Yisrael. We know that we are your favorite brother, sister-in-law, and nephew (by default)...so please let us know...or someone out there: What is this deep creek zach? Is it like the shriners, only for frum yiddishe women? Mazel Tov again and we are anxiously awaiting your return (and are anxiously awaiting in the more immediate future some pictures - didn't you JUST buy a new digital camera?) Mazel Tov - Love, Aharon, Devorah, and Shlomo Chaim

Mazal Tov Elana and Kim! Wishing you all the best! Now when you come back to Baltimore, we can have 2 amazing people at our table! Dovid, Judy and the rest of the "Landmen"

Woo Hoo!!! And your guy is from Atlanta, I can't believe it!! First off, pictures are definately needed down here in Baltimore - you better post soon. What a turn of events, Elana, Baruch Hashem. I am absolutely THRILLED for you! I've heared such wonderful things about you two together. May Hashem bless you both with much simcha and hatzlacha. Go Atlanta! Love, Alex and Daniel Fleksher

Mazel Tov! Mazel Tov! You should be zoche to build a Bais Ne'eman Byisroel Your Cousins in Chicago, Raphael and Betys Greenspon and family

Mazal Tov! We are so excited! May you guys be zoche to build a bayit neeman byisroel!!! - your fellow Damascus Ct. neighbor, OT and Moodus pal - Shani :o) (and Yehuda)

Mazal Tov Elana! I was so excited to hear your name - we really lost touch! We wish you and you chosson all the best! The Grodzinskis

Mazel tov! Elana, this is SUCH exciting news! Wishing you and your lucky chosson all the best of brachos!

Elana, OTR/L, Not only have you gotten your MS degree you have succeeded in a much higher degree of your MRS . How "Wise"! Your decision of going to Eretz Yisroel was made for you by the One Above, BH. Wishing you bracha and hatzlacha. May you and Kim build a bayis neeman b'Yerushalyim. Love, The Founders of the DCS. Rabbi and Mrs. G

Mazel Tov!! So nice to see such good news. Wishing you guys all the best! Love, Erica, Alon, Yaakov Moshe and Meir

Mazel Tov!!! Lana, you are engaged!! From the bottom of the deep creek, I want to wish you and Kim a huge Mazel Tov. Well, we all know that Kim has been accepted into the society because his accptance has already been displayed on our door - which obviously makies it totally official. So in addition to the serious question regarding Baskin Robbins and Haagen Daz, another significant question arises. And that question relates to the flexibility of certain phalanges... Anyways, I am so excited for your wedding, I"YH. I am definately planning on picking you up even though you totally can't pick me up - hehe :-) There's gonna be some pretty wild shtick, just you wait. The feminine arches will be fabulous!!!! We are not asking anymore. Elana, I am so happy for you!! I miss you so much and might need mod. assist from Dena to continue in my ADLs because I'm gonna miss you all so much. Who can I OT with? Elana, you deserve the best! The simcha that you have with Kim is contagious and it should only continue to grow and spread. Mazel Tov, sista!

As the FIRST member of the DCS posting again, I would like to cast my vote to Haagen Daaz. And no nasty Root Beer float that you guys havent even tasted, weirdos! Temi totally supports me on this. In fact, I believe in the Oxford Dictionary of OT and Social Work that root beer is classified as a fruit rather than as an ice cream. Anyway, Yes, the Deep Creek chicks are becoming rather hot. Get them while you still can!! But I already proposed to Chan, so I guess its only Temi left. Chan, you did say yes, didn't you???? PS MAZEL TOV WOMAAAN, your mom and I are dancing away!!!!

Wow! Mazel Tov. Long time no speak. I did not realize that you were back in Baltimore! I'd love to hear from you! Take care. Miriam

Mazel Tov Elana! This is so exciting! I'm so happy for you. Wishing you the very best of everything. Love, Tova

Mazel Tov, Elana!! I'm so happy for you!

p.s. looks like DCS members are becoming a rare commodity!

BS"D Mazel Tov Elana and Kim! We are so thrilled for you! Mrs. Friedman told me as we were standing in the checkout line at Kroger's! May you be zocha to build a bayis ne'eman b'Yisroel. Love, Mrs.G.

As the SECOND DEEP CREEK MEMEBER to post, on the auspicious occasion of your engagement, the question that is on everyones minds is this: Would you prefer Baskin Robbins or Haagen Daz? Lan, we all know that you did not agree to the feminine arch agreement, however, according to section 2.1.4159, there is a small stipulation that has just come to light. The other members have the right to bypass the member and go directly to her chosen and have him acquiesce to the legal binding nature of the arch agreement. So Kim, what do you say? You guys definately top the charts for racking up the frequent flyer miles. Kain Yirbu!!! Whats next, Australia? We are definately partying by proxy on this occasion in light of the ocean that separates us!!! So keep spreading the joy!! Can't wait to see you in Israel. Oh and did I mention mazel tov???

As the FIRST DEEP CREEK MEMBER, (and Director of Internal Affairs, no less!!) I wish the bride and groom a hearty Congrats!! Kim, you are offically "in", this is the moment you have been waiting for since you heard about the femine arch agreement?? You will be coordinating our upcoming shabbaton (Labor Day weekend baby, be there or be square!!) won't you? And we have convinced Chirpy Feivel and David to come with the help of Batya and Eeta! LAN!!!! We are having a whole party here in your honor. We whopped out the starbucks and choc you know what. And ice cream of course! PARTY ON! We love you, your lonely Deep Creek Sisters in the USA

cant wait to dance at the wedding. mazal tov!!!the parneses

Mazal Tov Elana! Yehi ratzon shetizku livnot bayit ne'eman l'shem ulitiferet b'yisrael. Love and brachot, Altea Steinherz

I don't even know what to say to properly express how happy I am for you guys... Mazel tov, mazel tov! Lan, this has totally made my day. I'm so excited for you and I wish I was there to celebrate with you. It's so funny how things work out. :D So, be intouch and keep me posted on all of the details and I can't wait to hear from you. I miss you and I love you and mazel tov again! Love, Rach

Mazel Tov! So excited to hear the news!!!

Elana! I am so happy for you. I wish you guys all the best! Mazel Tov! Love, Janna

MAZEL TOV! Indeed I did not know. We are so elated and wish you the BEST BrachoS. Kim I don't know if we ever met but just know you're getting a good one - I guess you figured that out! Zev and Nechama Schwartz

Mazel tov! May you two share in only bracha, hatzlacha and simcha- ad me'ah v'esrim. All the best, Sonya (Brystowski) Schreiber

Mazel Tov Ilana! May you 2 only have many simchas together! Love Chedva
