Terespol, Poland – Oct 9, 2011 <\/i>| hype this look on Lookbook<\/a> and Chictopia<\/a><\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

One of the highlights of my stint in Poland is going to a traditional Polish wedding. <\/b>Thanks to our friend Piotr, Iuliia and I were able to go on a roadtrip to Terespol, attend the church wedding of Ola and Krzysiek, witness first hand the crazy fun all-nighter reception, and importantly, debunk a stereotype we’ve made about Polish couples. \ud83d\ude09 If you wanna immerse yourself into a foreign country, I suggest you attend their weddings – culture at its best. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
the happy couple \ud83d\ude42<\/b> okay so before attending their wedding, Iuliia and I came up with a stereotype about Polish newlyweds – they’re not happy. This is because whenever we’d see a couple having their wedding pictures taken in the City Centre of Bialystok, they don’t look happy. As in they don’t even hold hands while walking! Good thing this particular wedding made us rethink our stereotype \ud83d\ude42 Coz seriously, Ola and Krzysiek looked so happy and in love \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
the hall<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
the table setting. check out our name tags! haha thanks so much Piotr for taking us and to Ola for allowing it \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
the meat section<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
got to try the samagon too<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
this was served past midnight. it was literally, party, eat, party, eat, party, eat \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
the wedding cake<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
SOME TRADITIONS<\/b>: 1) guests line up to personally give their gifts and say their wishes to the couple, 2) the first dance, 3) the bouquet+garter ceremony had the guys dancing around, 4) the paid dance with the couple, sort of like our money dance<\/i><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n
and of course the major Polish tradition and stereotype: WODKA. \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n

\nCheers to the newlyweds! Sto lat! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
