Lin-Manuel's surprise for his wife Vanessa on their wedding day. All of Vanessa's close friends and family rehearsed for a month in secret, leading up to the reception. What they lack in polish, they surely make up for in joy and love. In any event, everyone in this video has one thing in common: They'd do anything to show Vanessa how much they love her.

Much like our present ones,
Drink la kayim, to life,
To life, la kayim,

It takes a wedding to make us say,
"Let's live another day,"
Drink la kayim, to life!
We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of schnapps in honor of
the great
good luck that favors you,
We know that when good fortune favors two such men, it
stands to reason,
we deserve it too!
To us and our good fortune!
Be happy, be healthy, long life!
And if our good fortune never comes,
Here's to whatever comes,
Drink la kayim, to life!
Lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai, lai...

Heaven bless you both, to your health and may we live
together in peace!
Heaven bless you both, to your health and may we live
together in peace!
May you both be favored with the future of your choice,
May you live to see a thousand reasons to rejoice!
Heaven bless you both
To your health and may we live together in peace!
Ahhhh!
We'll raise a glass and sip a drop of schnapps in honor of
the great
good luck that favors you,
We know that when good fortune favors two such men, it
stands to reason,
we deserve it too!
To us and our good fortune!
Be happy, be healthy, long life!
And if our good fortune never comes,
Here's to whatever comes,
Drink la kayim, to life!
