Tying the Knot
An article in the DailyMail UK edition caught my eye this afternoon when I read about septuagenarian Maureen Lipman getting married to David Turner, who ''wore a traditional kippah'' at the ceremony. Below is a verse that was prominently featured during the chuppah.
Maureen, who plays Evelyn Plummer in the ITV soap, shared the news of her engagement last year as she wrote in the Spectator: 'Later that night my partner David and I decided to tell our children that, with a combined age of 156, we are going to get married.
'In truth I had been rather against the 'M' word, but on a train coming back from Edinburgh he mentioned that it was the minor festival of Tu B'Av – a day when a Jewish woman can ask a man to marry her.
'Unable to resist the gag, I slid under the table separating us onto one knee and asked him for his hand. To my surprise and slight panic, he gave it.'
