We had a wedding last week of one of our teachers. On Thursday afternoon form 4 to 6 pm we all went to the wedding hall. We left our presents on the gift 'counter', as someone called it, and congratulated the newly weds.
After that we sat down at large round tables and were shortly after served massive amounts of food. Mostly meat and fish since that is what people like and it is a way of showing that you are wealthy enough to provide this.
What I always find interesting is that people sit down, eat, and leave as soon as they had their fill. A table behind us came in about 10 minutes after we did and had left way before we even had finished eating. Maybe their table companions weren't greact conversationalists but it is a pattern.
We had the remainder of the wedding with a dinner on Friday. I thought it was going to be different since only a few of us were invited. It was almost the same. The dinner hall was enormous and there were so many tables full of wedding guests.
To the disappointment of one of my colleagues we didn't see any of the official ceremony. That said, the food was very good and we ate our fill.
