LutonHello All,
Well My big brother got married last week in Poland. It was a beautiful day and I must say the Polish know how to party.
The wedding was at a Catholic church in my sister-in-laws village. It was so beautiful inside, although we were not allowed to take pictures.
Before the ceremony the couple were blessed at her parents home by the parents.
After the ceremony they had a wonderful reception which started at 3pm and carried on till 5am. Basically you have a sit down dinner of 4 courses, then you drink (usually lots of vodka), you then dance. At 10pm more hot food arrived, you drink more & then you dance more. At 1am a soup course arrived, then you drink some more and again dance some more. So basically if you love eating, drinking and dancing - this is a night for you!!!
Luckily, I enjoy all three. When we got back to the hotel and slept - I woke up hung over and had very sore feet!!! It was a great wedding!!!
Here are some piccies:

The bride is Krystyna and Groom is Lee - my Brother. They will be living over here in the UK. She's an accountant and has lived over here for 11 years. They have a house that they are renting and she is 4 months pregnant with their first child. Not that you can see it !!!!
OK I mostly love wedding cake, OK OK any cake
Well if you like cake you would have LOVED this wedding.
The women of the brides family all got together and made 42 big cakes. They then cut them up into slices. They had lots of cake plates scattered along the tables with a couple of slices from each cake on them with sweets and biscuits piled on top.
The wedding cake had 5 tiers and was like a walnut cake with buttercream. Gorgeous!!!
Kiprie BearsThanks for sharing beautiful photos !!! and congratulations for your brother's wedding.
