Events in My Family Tree: October 18

Four of the five marriages for today are for the Jewish side of my family, which is a far higher percentage than usual.  That is because the number 18 is considdered lucky in Jewish tradition.  What's interesting, however, is that two of the weddings appear to be a double wedding, which is bad luck in Jewish superstitions.
