So today we discovered that our ketuba, which is a perfectly fine marriage according to the United States government (for everything except taxes), is not according to Israel. They demand we get civilly married in the United States as part of our tik aliyah.
So in addition to having the Israeli passport fiasco, we now have to brave the New York City bureaucracy as well. Of course, did I mention that this marriage certificate will also need to be notarized AND apostilled as well?
And now I'll have to remember two anniversaries. I am announcing ahead of time that there will only be presents for one of them!
While these things are annoying now, and create more headaches, I am sure we will all laugh about this when we arrive in israel. Probably on a line at the misrad hapnim.
