Trip Part Deux
Okay continuing on with the trip, because I will forget all this eventually, so might as well write it down. When we got to the town we stayed in, my two brothers went to sleep at my Aunt's while Alexa and I went to my grandparents. Which was a bit awkward sine I didn't have much to say to her at first, but eventually we got to talking and it became easier (and I actually don't mind her as much).
For the first few days before the wedding we mostly chilled around their place. My cousin Paulina took us to this river which was about an hour away. You couldn't really swim in it though because of the rapids but it was refreshing nonetheless (sine no one in Poland seems to have Air Conditioning). We played Frisbee and badminton, so needless to say I got some good exercise (and boy do I ever suck at badminton)and I got a rock from the river, which I swear is alive, it has hairs coming out of it (which could also be nothing, but I say it's alive hehe)

My aunt's house from the side, doesn't do the house justice it's actually really huge
The next week involved the wedding, so it was a lot of prep. I had a problem with my dress, and this problem got so annoying I wanted to burn all dresses by the end of it. So I'm not one for getting dressed up, I don't like to wear dresses or high heels, and to make things worse, my mom bought me a dress without me, just assuming I would like it, that it would fit and I'd wear it. I hated this dress, it's fluffy and makes me look pregnant/fat...so I begged and begged her to let me buy a new one and she said no the entire time we were in Canada. Finally I try on this dress for my aunt and my cousin who both think it sucks; we go to get it altered, didn't work so I just went out and bought a new one, a nice green one (I have pics of it) and instead of letting me wear that one, my mom told me to use it for Day 2 of the wedding! I was so furious and then she told me to wear this black dress my cousin had which was identical to the one I wanted to wear in the first place, but wasn't alllowed beacause "no one wears black to a wedding"!!! you gotta be kidding me!
Then there was my hair. Now my mom had chopped off all my hair I actually had really long hair and I always knew it would be hard to do something with my short hair, but I didn't realize it until I got to the hairdresser and started crying (yes crying lol) because you couldn't do anything with it! So the woman gave me curly hair at the back and then straightened the front part and moved it to the side, so this is what it looked like:
Me and my brother Nick (the younger one) all dressed up
Me and Alexa (I did her make-up, I was so proud)Her hair looked awesome
The night before the wedding we helped my uncle bring alcohol to the hotel where the reception was (300 bottles of vodka, how crazy is that?)and then my brothers checked in to their hotel room where we met my cousin Pawel, his roomate Andje and this guy Luke, who actually was Canadian so we had someone to speak english to.
I'll save the rest for another entry, I hate having to come back to my crappy job, ah well, at least it's not that long a shift.
