Yes, it would QM, yes it would. I always find it ironic that the more that I type, the less I am understood. Maybe that's a good thing...

TR, what you've posted about WJC is all stuff that I'm familiar with and logically flows from the temple being conservative and therefore requiring both observation of certain religious rules. Apparently, though, the place is rather posh in appearance, in addition to having kosher catering.

Moll: there are certain subjects even whne it's clear that there's sarcasm, you really have to be careful what's said. When I was a young accountant that was one of them.

TR - if you meant the subject of whistle-blowing - I agree. It's a double-edged sword. You can find yourself blacklisted in a lot of places if you're a whistle-blower.

If you are familiar with the Boesky affair, and have read the book "Den of Thieves", it is readily apparent that whistle-blowing is indeed a double-edged sword. An old friend of mine, a Wall Street accountant of very high esteem who still practices helped break the case with the help of another old friend who worked for Mr. Boesky. This other fellow, who was certainly no angel, supplied evidence that was very valuable in convicting Boesky. It's very sad when I see this guy now once a year at a big BBQ hosted by the hero accountant.

I know what you're saying. There was a secretary in an old firm I worked at who was being harassed by an attorney. Instead of dealing with the attorney, they fired the secretary and she had one heck of a time finding another job once word got out.

If I have said this once, I have said this a thousand times. HR exists to protect the FIRM. Not the employee. People do not realize that.
Whistle blowing is definiely a double edged sword. One would think people would be happy to know who is stealing from them....yeah not always.
Anyway as to weddings I subscibe to the "at minimum cover the cost of your plate" school.
I miss The Plaza of yore.

Boesky deserved what he got. As I recall he was a first class prick to deal with from people who knew him. Whitsleblowing can be dangerous, but in tax cases it can be worse. I remember one tax attorney talking about a case where the Bookkeeper snitched to the IRS and it went to trial. Came out in testimony that the Bookkeeper was supposed to get a reward and she kept calling IRS jut about everyday asking about the money. Jury heard that and voted for acquittal.

Ivan was indeed an son-of-a-gun. He yelled at me needlessly many times during his annual audit. I knew many men of Boesky's temperment on Wall Street and I always felt he got what he deserved. He must be around 75 years old now. I haven't heard his name mentioned in ages.

Ah yes, the beautiful Seema, I think her name was. One of his subsidiaries was named after her.

Ah, weddings, a very favorite subject of mine. In comparing notes with some of my coworkers it appears like a) I go to way more wedding then they do; b) but those they do go to tend to be to people whom they are much closer to and therefore they give larger gifts.
I've begun to use registries a lot more for the gifts, because it's what the couple claim they want. But sometimes it gets tricky if all that's left is the small items like dishtowels, cork screws etc. Then what do you do - just buy lots of little things till it adds up to x dollars?
In Orthodox circles weddings with 400+ people are quite common. I've been to some where there were over 700 people since the father on the side from which we were invited is the rabbi of a large shul, and had to invite his congregation, plus they have a large family themselves and a lot of friends as well. Hassidim have been known to rent out places like Madison Square Garden for weddings of their rebbe's (chief rabbi's) kids, which are sort of like wedding of royality.
