So, gryphon, did you dance all night? Meet anyone interesting?

[gryphon]

Let me put it this way. It would have been nicer without the open bar.

Though it did make things interesting , I felt a little uncomfortable.


Luckily I had my cousin Alan to talk to. Nice guy, he is something of a cross between a yuppie, and a redneck.

[Natalka]

Great, it's always nice to reconnect with family.

Congrats Gryphon. I hope you danced the night away.

I didnt dance really. My cousin, his wife and I went to another part of the synagogue to talk. I feel bad saying this but I was a bit embaressed of my extended family. So many cousins got drunk. One cousin was sluring her words and couldnt walk straight. Two people giving speeches ( not my relatives) were drunk during their speeches.

Also many people were wearing what I felt was innapropriate dresses. This was in an orthodox synagogue where the sephardic rabbinate of Toronto meets. I felt it was a bit sacriligeous that and the blaring of lady gaga music.

I think when I get married I will make sure there is only Jewish music and no open bar.

I realize most of my extended family isnt religious and maybe its just my orthodox upbringing but I felt a bit awkward.

i was a bit surprised when you mentioned an open bar, not what i was expecting

ah well, you saw them after a long time i am assuming, and probably don't have to see them again for a long while

Just saw this thread now....coming from a jewish background myself (who is close to your age gryphon) this type of wedding with open bar and dance music is all I have ever seen even when the wedding takes place within an orthodox synagogue. All the weddings had a mix of music both jewish and non jewish music and an open bar.
