I mean this whole-heartedly: Baruch HaShem we signed a prenuptial agreement. Don't worry guys, we are still very much happily married even after 2 whole weeks. Let me explain.
We weren't sure if we were going to get a prenup based on religious counsel, but we decided to do it in the end and keep it quiet without making a deal out of it. We are now going to be flying to NY on Tuesday and we booked the ticket with Yael's last name as "Pinsky" instead of her maiden name. This is a problem because her ID still says "Furst" but her ticket says "Pinsky". We've been going crazy the last few days trying to get the ticket changed or find a way to get a hold of our marriage certificate but with no luck. Over Shabbos, my brilliant mother-in-law realized that we still had the prenup and my brother-in-law hadn't given it to their shul rabbi yet. Tonight we called the airline and the TSA and they both said that this would be a valid form of ID for Yael to get through security. Iy"H my parents will print it up by tomorrow and bring it to us for our flight.
I realize that I discuss this topic quiet often, especially in terms of my marriage, but I think the hashgacha in this story is pretty unbelievable. For starters, we weren't even going to get a prenup. Secondly, we weren't going to be able to have a prenup until my brother-in-law told us that he was a notary. Thirdly, he wasn't supposed to hold onto the prenup; he was supposed to give it to their rabbi at the wedding.
The fact that everything came together to allow us to fly on Tuesday was nothing short of miraculous. Also, the trouble that we have had to go through in this ordeal has certainly brought us closer as well.
Hopefully everything from here on out will go smoothly with the flight and we will make it to NY on time. We'll keep you posted on that but hopefully it will not necessitate it's own post next week.
