Polish weddings

things I learnt since attending a polish wedding:

- It is nice to be able to go to a wedding not pregnant

- Having the ability to understand polish is a good asset attending the wedding

- 1/4 of the ceremony is in polish

- Try to have a back up babysitter incase the planned babysitter is not home

- When the bride and groom enter the reception everyone stands and sings a polish song

- a true polish wedding has an open bar

- Vodka is pronouced "Voodka" and "voodka" originated in Poland

- There is dance music in polish

- Everyone, including great-grandma, dances to polka

- You can easily count the sober people (including myself)

- When you take your baby to get a diaper change, don't be surprised to have several ladies approach you and talk to your baby in Polish

- Expect by the end of the night you will have talked to every parent with children the same age as yours or younger

- Don't ask for hot water to heat up a bottle, just go to the bathroom and run it under hot water

- Watch out for little children on the dance floor, especially during "Rasputin".

- When your three year old is done dancing and is ready for bed, she'll tell you

- It's O.K to skip bed time routine after a wedding

- a 5 month old baby will get sensory overload after a wedding and will not go to bed until 2:30 a.m.

- gift openings are in polish too!
