Ich wurde zu einer Hochzeit nach Polen eingeladen. Ich war nicht bereit für das buchstäbliche Fest! Kann mir jemand sagen, was das alles ist? Es war alles schön.

My friend was invited to wedding in UK, he said that he had to pay for everything

Its not that much.

What did you expect at a wedding if not a feast?

Sure!

In the beginning, you likely got served a clear, yellow-ish soup with some noodles. That’s „Rosół“, basically a chicken broth. For reasons unknown to me, the one served at weddings tends to be shit compared to homemade ones, even though it’s like the easiest soup to make (unless you’re trying to make it super-premium)

In the picture I see some salands, those I can’t identify.

There are some tortillas, that’s not anything traditionally polish, it’s just a tortilla

I see people eating some non-clear soup and I’m guessing it’s either „żurek“, a soup based on sour, fermented rye, usually made with pieces of smoked sausage, bakon and/or pork ribs.

It could also be „grochówka“, based on peas, also with sausage.

On one plate I see what looks like Chicken Kiev (in Poland known as De Volaille), which is a chicken roll with butter inside.

Ask the fucking other fucking guests 

well. It’s common practice to pay it back in gifts (usually money in envelope)

Have to have something to soak up the vodka, which is weirdly missing from your side of the table.

As a Greek living in Poland and having attended a Polish wedding, my question is this. Where is the vodka? Cause on the wedding I attended vodka was everywhere
