    a chuppah that matches the flowers?

      Chuppah = canopy beneath which Jewish weddings are performed. Nick is all in.

        A chuppah for the choppa!

          “Get to the chuppah!” has a nice sound.

            Okay, that actually deserves applause.

    Pushed to the edge, Nick inadvertently offers the best advice!

      Or, at the very least he distracts Tip with the thought of getting Nick and Virginia’s wedding just the way they want it.

        Of course, what if she says yes and insists on a Korean wedding?

          Dr. Lee has an outstanding intellect. She could just as easily convert to Judaism prior to marriage (thereby insuring Jewish offspring) _and_ have a Korean wedding.
          Her biggest challenge is selecting a rabbi she can look up to or even just respect.

            Suppose Dr. Lee insists Nick convert to whatever religion she is? Or insists on some ecumenical service? (Artie’s a Unitarian minister who, I believe, officiated at Helen and Dave’s wedding; Moustachio and Unity are notaries and could possibly draw up and notarize a marriage certificate…)

            I expect Nick will gladly marry her as many times as she wants!

            What does intellect have to do with any of those things?

            Dr. Lee could doubtless debate most rabbis on the fine points of rabbinic law. In Hebrew or Aramaic!

            She’s on the same intellectual plane as Artie, remember.

    Always nice to see a member of the younger generation take seriously the advice of Mrs. Knowles-Carter.

    So Nick *is* thinking about asking Dr. Lee to marry him.

      At least he isn’t in Osprey mode.

    He’s worried about matching the polarity of the neutron flow?

      Yes. He’s seeing a nascent madgirl; taking an interest in her experiments is not only good for the relationship, but key to his survival.

    Religion, religion! Religion!
    Religion, religion! Religion!

    Who, with foresight, must scramble for a setting,
    Make a firm decision, get the chuppah shade?
    And who must insist no pastor, priest, or monk,
    Conduct the ceremony he knows?

    The husband, the husband! Religion!
    The husband, the husband! Religion!

    Who had to find a way to make a proper clone,
    A nerdy clone, a gamer clone?
    Who must fix Nick’s transceiver inside the clone,
    So he is free to read his comic books?

    The woman, the woman! Religion!
    The woman, the woman! Religion!

    At first, he had to play it cool.
    And then, he made the grade.
    All part of probing Dr. Lee.
    Good thing she’s pretty.

    It’s done, it’s done! Religion!
    It’s done, it’s done! Religion!

    And what will children learn of faith from Nick,
    If Lee consents to marry, whatever faith they pick?
    The horror, the horror! Religion!
    The horror, the horror! Religion!

      You may ask “How did this tradition get started?” Well I’ll tell you . . . I don’t know.

    Honestly, it’s not that hard. You can make the chuppah out of dowels and use your tallis, or a family member’s, as the canopy. Tallit are almost always white cotton muslin or wool flannel, so any design on it shouldn’t be strong enough to interfere with your flowers.

    You could also always do what my wife and I did and go with succulents instead of flowers. With greenery you don’t have to match the “flowers” to your color scheme.

      I have no idea what any of those words mean

        Dowels are an English word, nothing in Judaism. They’re wooden posts. A tallis is a prayer shawl.

    “Does the chuppah match the flowers?” sounds like a Jewish version of a dirty joke about women who dye their hair.

    Assuming you’re willing to be non-traditional enough to use your rotors as supports, I’m pretty sure Tip can magic just about any amount of matching your heart desires.
