Love / Attending a Polish wedding on my own (I'm English) [25]

I attended a Polish wedding at the weekend, my Girlfriends brother. So I wasn't on my own but obviously the language barrier is a little difficult to get used to when you're left alone for a little bit. But as others have said, after a few Wodkas, the other guests will start to be a little less shy with their English and will start trying it out on you.

At the wedding I went to, the grooms family sat on the left, the brides on the right. If you have been to a wedding in the UK before, you will know pretty much what is going on. However before the church, everyone goes to the brides house where the family are given bottles of Wodka to "release" the bride, all good fun.

Buy some flowers to give to the bride after the ceremony, as the tradition is for the male guests to do so.

There was no seating plan at the wedding I went to, just lots of long tables with food and bottles of soft drink to wash down the alcohol.

Prepare to eat a lot, drink a lot, dance a lot and have fun!
