@Sharronapearl @DrSepinwall *because of. Ugh.

[Melissa Weininger @drweininger]

@Sharronapearl @DrSepinwall They got married in Israel, which means that it is not a "legal" marriage there (I have not seen it reported that they got legally married elsewhere although it is possible). This is an increasingly common choice for all kinds of couples of the lack of civil marriage in Israel.

[Melissa Weininger @drweininger]

@SamuelSpinner @protosemite Liking this because not enough people make Berdichevsky jokes.

[Melissa Weininger @drweininger]

@DrSepinwall @TsahiHalevi And in my favorite role 😂

[Melissa Weininger @drweininger]

@DrSepinwall More troubling is his insistence on blue eyes 😬
