Parshas Vayeitzei: Daas Zikeinim - Rochel Never Had a Wedding Party
"Vaye'esof Lavan Es Kol Anshei HaMakom Vaya'as Mishteh." (Vayeitzei 29:22) "Lavan gathered all the people for the long awaited wedding and he made a party." Why does the Torah tell us he made a party, is this something new that one makes a party by a wedding?

The Daas Zikeinim says that the only reason Lavan made a wedding party is because he wanted to get Yaakov drunk in order that he should not realize the scam he had pulled by switching Rochel and Leah. Otherwise the cheapskate Lavan, would not have made one, when he could save the money.

How does the Daas Zikeinim know this? Because one week later after agreeing to give Rochel to Yaakov as well, the Torah says (29:28) "Vayitein Lo Es Rochel Bito;" Lavan gave Rochel to Yaakov without even the slightest mention of a party or celebration.
