But at 9:00 PM, a message was published, which was distributed within minutes in hundreds of WhatsApp groups: "At the wedding of an orphan bride currently taking place in Bnei Brak, there is no one to dance and make the bride happy on the most important day of her life. Almost no one came, the hall is empty of people. The family asks everyone who can to come and make the couple happy.".
Moshe Tovul, a resident of Ramat Hasharon, tells Haredim 10: "When I arrived, I realized that I knew the bride's family, her adoptive father, who raised her with devotion for the past ten years. People came to congratulate her, from Netivot, Ashdod, Gedera - from many places. People saw the announcement, stood up - and came to congratulate them.
""The people of Israel are holy. It is not self-evident. People come with taxis to make people happy. Religious, ultra-Orthodox and secular. People without kippahs and without tzitzits have arrived. At any moment, men and women who came to make people happy arrive. I thank the Creator God for giving me the privilege of seeing all the people who came to make people happy. People who leave with a smile.
"People came because they heard that there was no one. This increased the desire of the people of Israel to come. I am amazed, I love the people of Israel. I simply cry with joy. The people who came are righteous. They are righteous.".
About 700 men and women came to celebrate the couple's most important day in their lives. Those who came brought gifts and envelopes for the bride and groom.
Two drummers, who came from another wedding celebration in the area, said: "The groom at whose wedding we played told us: 'Go make them happy.' The groom also received this mitzvah of making the bride and groom happy.".
David Keshet, a resident of Bnei Brak, who came to celebrate: "It was posted in a lot of groups that there was an orphan bride getting married and there were no people to celebrate - and hundreds came to celebrate. As soon as I heard, I came to celebrate. What's happening here is very exciting.".
A relative told Haredim 10: "Surprised by the number of people, this is the people of Israel in all their glory who came to make the bride and groom happy. People are coming non-stop. A lot of women came to make the bride happy. It's a pleasure to see it.".
