Life / Polish Wedding March & Funny Hat [37]
Like I said, it depends on the situation. If it's done with good intentions and genuine good wishes, sure why not? If it's something you find amusing and fun, sure, why not? Knock yourself out. But don't assume that what you find silly and fun is what everybody else finds silly and fun.
There were a lot of other things. This is not the place to discuss those other things. But from reading other posts in this thread it doesn't look like I'm alone in having found it a somewhat less than heartwarming experience. It can be a nice thing I suppose. It also can be something else.
Your mileage may vary.

If the attendees indeed have good wishes, sure, and if the couple thinks this is a fun thing to do, sure. But don't do it unless you want to, I guess that's one point. And the other is don't assume that just because someone is being a good sport that means that they think it's a great thing. And anyone who thinks they should go along with this out of respect for Polish cultural tradition should be aware that it's not a real Polish tradition.
I personally found it humiliating, my family found it scandalous, and I can assure you that people who insisted on it did not do so from good wishes towards anyone but themselves.
