Balloon Boobs

I have some very religious cousins. So religious that they have strictly kosher diets. So religious that they don't use electricity or drive on the Sabbath. So religious that even the balloons I make for them have to be modestly dressed.
On a recent trip out to yeshiva-land, little Yochanan asked me to make a chusen and kallah (bride and groom) out of balloons. So I made what I always make when someone requests a bride and groom sculpture, never really paying attention to the fact that the bride's dress is sleeveless or, as in the case above, has a little balloon bosom showing.
So I didn't really notice this. But little Yochanan certainly did:
"The kallah's not sneeus [Yiddish expression for 'not modest']!"
Sometimes balloon customers are impossible to please.

Hi, I was asked by a friend of mine if I would twist balloons at his wedding party. I can make the simple stuff, but I really wanted to make something cool like the bride and groom on your blog as a special gift for him and his bride. I have looked on the internet for an explanation on how to twist a bride and groom, but have been unsuccessful. Perhaps it's too much to ask, but could you give me some advice or even teach me how to make a bride and groom? I have a blog too, check it out! I'll be sure to post pictures from the wedding. www.spencerhuddleston.com
