Dina Answers: It depends on how many of your friends are at the Mikvah that night.
Dear Dina: According to NPOJ Halacha, what is the exact time that Shabbos starts?
Dina Answers: When you get home from work.
Dear Dina: I am getting married in the next few weeks, and of course, I am a virgin. There are many questions I have regarding the hole in the sheet. How big? Is there a special bracha when cutting the hole? Must I use designer sheets? What if by some strange twist of fate (or the investment banker I met in Florida) I do not bleed?
Dina Answers: You are very inquisitive, let me answer your questions -- The entire hole in sheet concept is a complete misconception. The only form-fitting aid you need in bed on your wedding night is a pair of handcuffs. Regarding your latter Shayla -- there are two options: Change the wedding date to a time when this will not be a problem (Yemai Nidah) or line the diaphragm with sandpaper. I wouldn't worry about a bracha since it sounds like the Shecheyanu won't be necessary.
Bluma Argues: (Bluma is Dina's Arch Bas Machlokes from Bavel, Long Island) Dina (that ignorant Zonah) is all wrong. There is indeed a sheet used, and given me and my husbands track record, I would not bother cutting a hole at all. We practice Taharas HaMishpacha every day.
