Generally I refrain from well wishes topics. I dunno why, I like to have something specific to say. But, umm.
Best Wishes anyway

I guess it's like in Raising Arizona, when John Goodman is talking to Holly Hunter, and says, "I was just tellin' your better half..."aliantha wrote:(You're not supposed to say "congrats" to the bride-to-be....)So the groom-to-be gets "Congrats!", and the b-2-b gets "My deepest sympathies."?
Well, that's an option! No, I think the implication if you wish the bride congrats is that she, y'know, set out to snag the guy. Which isn't, y'know, genteel and ladylike behavior.So feel free to say congrats, I guess, depending on who the bride is....

Actually, although I wished congrats to caam, the reason in Judaism for not saying congrats to a bride is the same reason we only say "may all things happen at the proper time" when learning someone is expecting: it's to prevent the "evil eye" from being drawn towards you and interferring with the event that is yet to happen.
