Love / Best Man's role at Polish Wedding. [14]

OK, so it seems I don't have to do the "Big Speech" like in UK. However, I'd like to have a couple of good traditional Polish "toasts" under my belt. Can anyone give me a few good toasts to the bride / groom / anyone else that I can use? (Translations into English would be appreciated!)

I do hope nobody tells me any bad stuff, like in Monty Python's "Hungarian Phrase Book" sketch! Please?

Thanks

Nobody got any toasts, then, or is just a case of throwing vodka down your neck, no matter what?!?!

I caused a car-crash in Cannes one Christmas Day.... don't think the Frenchies see too many men in Kilts.

I've been warned to watch out for the girls determined to find out if anything is worn under the kilt..... I can assure them, there's nothing worn: it's all in perfect working order ;-)

Seriously, my wife says they'll need to climb over her first to get to me!

Love / Best Man's role at Polish Wedding. [14]

Hello Everyone,

I'm looking for some advice. A good friend of mine has asked me to be his Best Man at his wedding in Warsaw. He is English, and the bride is Polish. I believe the wedding will be quite traditional, and by the sounds of it, very formal and lavish.

I haven't really been given any indication of what the Best Man's role at a Polish wedding is. In the UK, I would be expected to organise a Stag Night, look after the rings, be a witness, and most importantly, give the much anticipated "Best Man's Speech" at the Reception.

How much of this is expected in Poland? Are there other obligations that I need to fulfill?

As a proud Scot, I will be in full Highland dress - kilt and so on.

Please give me some advice on what is expected of a Best Man at a Polish wedding - anything, no matter how small, will be gratefully recieved. Are there people on here who could maybe help me out with a translation, if I need to prepare a speech?

Thanks everyone.
