    I've been to a Polish wedding before (my cousin did pretty much the same). It's mental. Like going back in time to the early 90s, in one of those You've Been Framed! videos. They had some absolutely bananas cover band alternating between dad-rock classics (SIMPLY THE BEST, BETTER THAN ALL THE REST) and bobbins Polish music.

    It goes on for two days, you eat nothing but their awful food and drink litres of neat vodka.

    You've summed them up pretty well.

    They all seem to take place in venues which are almost identical. I could have sworn that I had been to three weddings in the exact same venue but it turned out that it wasn't the case.

    The Polish lad I work with can't get his head around the idea of a wedding not having a completely free bar.

    It's brilliant, they keep bringing out bottles of vodka for each table.

    And as Raoul says it's over two days.

    There's always some brilliant bits of comedy for me as a sober person.

    Two days? Fuck that.

    That being said though, turn up with a bottle of lemonade and you become the most eligible batchelor there.

    Wait, there are weddings where you have to pay for your drinks?

    99% here, and I'd imagine a very high percentage in the UK too. We drink properly at weddings though in this part of the world rather than poncing around all night on sparkling wine.

    A normal wedding costs around €20,000 so fuck getting 200 people pissed too.

    Rent a patch of grass somewhere and set up a marquee then buy shitloads of spirits and wine. The last wedding I went to was like that, although everybody was probably a bit too drunk. Making people do shots during speeches won't end well.

    Shots? Spirits? Pints. People want pints.

    At weddings I've been to, all the wine and so on is free but the bar later on during the raucous bit you generally have to pay.

    In Mexico drinks are always provided. No lol sparkling wines either, the proper stuff.

    Weddings are stupid.

    It's not enjoyable that night or the next day though. Most people at a wedding here will be drinking beer given the choice.

    I still feel like shit no matter what I drink. I've gone well off booze recently, but I've never actually liked the taste anyway.

    Anyway, hotels here don't let you provide your own drink for a wedding. Except wine and they'll charge you for doing that anyway.

    More like that it is low class shit therefore not to be drunk in events such as weddings.

    Never been to a wedding in the US by the way.

    Mexican weddings usually end in gang warfare before you've had a chance to get tipsy.

    Weddings are a feed and a party here. No point in putting on graces for the night if you drink beer the rest of the time.

    There's no stigma against beer here, or drinking in general, really. If anything, you've got the poncey hipster nonces lauding their fancy IPAs.

    Our wedding was open bar

    For $100 a head we got the meal, open bar (the 'premium' spirits were off the menu) and cake included. At a lovely country club too and was only that cheap because it was "out of season".

    Good stuff.

    I had a look at that and it won't happen this time. Got a hand in on the 6th. Now that I'm in the UK again, though, I'll definitely try and make whatever meets I can.

    Spent 20 minutes poking myself in the eye in front of the hot contact lens specialist today

    Made myself look even more pathetic and wet by saying 'sorry I wasted your time'. I did get the pity vote from her though.

    Also. Dell has to be the worst company when returning something.

    I told them that the only day I wouldn't be at home this week was Tuesday so they obviously organised the delivery for Tuesday. They then rearranged it for today, someone came to pick it up and I've just been sent an email saying that the collection has failed and it has to be rearranged.

    Proper fucking shit.

    She's the most irritating person alive, and her entire mindset/worldview just baffles me, so moaning about specific incidents seems pointless. .

    It keeps us entertained.

    I thought to ask because I was off work today and was just arsing about at home but my mother was doing my head in all day. She came in this afternoon and told me to look out my window because there was some kid wearing a Santa hat. What.

    I'm constantly trying to work her out, and I'm currently developing an idea that she is really arrogant. What I used to think was just whinging for its own sake (like as a hobby) is actually taking any criticism or disagreement personally, as if the it's the mere idea of doing so, rather than the criticism or disagreement itself, that is beyond her comprehension. The result being that - to use a recent example - when I claimed that my brother makes a better roast dinner than her, she didn't really argue the point so much as point out that my old man doesn't make any dinners so why don't I go live with him if she's such a terrible parent.

    The question is why? My brother is the same, except more volatile with it, so it would make sense; but he has a massive chip on his shoulder. What is her problem?

    My mum is a wanker like that and I've tried sitting her down and explaining why she's an idiot, and she gets it, but still returns to form a couple days later.

    I've realised now that I'm more mature than my parents ever will be and trying to make my relationship with them perfect was worth a shot, but ultimately I just wiped the slate clean and now enjoy what I can.

    I don't think they have much effect several years before any actual pregnancy.
