A lot of people my age feel pressure from their families to get married, but I think my not being married is the only thing keeping my grandmother alive. Bebe often tells me she just wants to live long enough to see my wedding. I\’ll say \”I do\” and then she\’ll immediately keel over. It\’s a lot to bear.

Bebe likes to pretend she\’s open-minded and doesn\’t care if I date non-Jewish women. I should point out that I am technically Jewish — both my parents were born Jews. I never went to Hebrew school but we did celebrate Chanukah — until the year we couldn\’t find the menorah. Then that was that: Bring on Christmas!
