Hey Wisconsinites,
This is Cassidy, Michaela, and Megan Radke! We are exhausted as we write this blog because we were up dancing and eating until 3:30 in the morning yesterday (this morning??) We had a blast and learned so much about Romanian culture.
Our day started with cleaning the church for the wedding and the excitement started to build as we got dressed up. The girls even had to take over the boys bathroom for extra mirror space. The ceremony was similar to what we would expect at home, but we noticed that perhaps it was less formal.
However right after the ceremony we went to the reception at a hotel down the street and we realized that while we were dressed for the ceremony, we were underdressed for the reception. The guests had changed into very fancy clothes before the reception. When we had been seated, we translated the menu and realized we were in for a treat after the camp food. There were six courses in total which included samples of many kinds of food. Overall, it was an enormous amount of food and Lief couldn't even imagine finishing it all. The first course came at around 7pm and the cake was cut at 3 in the morning. In between each course we would dance for about an hour and a half to a mix of American music and traditional Romanian folk music. We learned lots of new dances and got a work out.
We had so much fun hanging out with the Romanians, eating, and dancing. We all agree this is how weddings in the States should be.
