A Polish Wedding

This wedding was the most fun wedding I've been to abroad (hehe) Honestly though, the party was insanely fun, lasted until dawn, with an open bar, shot glasses at place settings and magically refilling bottles of vodka. There was also a scrapbook and photobooth with funny props like giant glasses, hats, headbands etc which everyone had a LOT of fun with. I definitely remember a drunken conversation where we decided Daft Punk managed to sum up the difference between men and women in one simple lyric- she's up all night for good fun, I stay up all night to get some
 It was such a great group of people, Monika and Arek's friends are awesome, she had a handful of english speaking foreigners from her travels and studies abroad, so there wasn't much of a language barrier at the reception. The church service was a traditional roman catholic service, the condensed version, but all in Polish of course. Very beautiful, I loved the dress, I definitely cried, and was so happy I could be there for the event.It was cool to hang out with my aunt and uncle and cousin who also attended hailing from the states (actually they arefamily friends, but we grew up together, going on vacations together and the like and they are like family)

 Both the church service and reception were just outside the city. Monika's friend Julek arranged transportation for us, which was great because a legit taxi would have been pricey. The hall was actually a restaurant called Yacht Club, right on the Wisla river. It was part of spa campus Warszawianka which included a waterpark, and several restaurants and hotel buildings. It was very classy, there were multiple courses of food served throughout the night, lots of fun and getting loose on the dance floor, lots of toasts and drinking and general merriment. We both had an absolute BLAST and had hangovers the next morning to prove it. Congratulations again Monika and Arek! Thank you for an awesome Polish Wedding Party!
