Ok, I am sorry that it has taken so long for an update.  I recieved all your messages wanting to know how the wedding was.  Before I get started lets just say that the Polish men and women can drink their Vodka.  The last update that I gave everyone was on Wednesday so let me catch you up to date.  Thursday was a very low key Bachelor Party for Tokie. Went to a Museum, played a little soccer in which I hurt my knee again.  But don't worry I am ok.  It was to bad to because I was goiong to show all those 10 year olds how to play! After soccer we headed to the bar where I am proud to say that Tokie and Magda passed our question game with flying colors.  Tokie only had to take 3 shots of Vodka.  This same night Wally set me up on a blind date.  Thanks Wally, I appreciate the effort but just wasn't for me.  Friday was a rest day as everyone was gearing up for the Wedding.  Saturday came and the wedding was great. Marek thanks for keeping me informed on when to bow my head and sit forward!  Tokie and Magda looked great and I think that you will all agree when you see the pictures.  The Party was everything it was supposed to be.....well at least what I was able to attend.  The party started at 5:30 and lasted until 4:30 the next morning.  For those of you that are wondering how I did, well lets just say that at 11:30 I was sleeping if I can call it that.  Susan said it best.  Poland won!!!  Thanks to the boys from Lodz who never let my shot glass go empty and thanks to Wally's uncles who showed me how real men drink Vodka.  Trust me, I wasn't even close...So the next morning the party began again at noon.  Yep thats right, noon and everyone was drinking again.  There where a little over 100 people at the wedding and Wally's dad had to go buy more Vodka as the 130 bottles they bought wasn't enough.  I only had 6 or 7 shots the second day as the first night was still having some effects on me. The party ended at 7:00pm as some had to work the next day and some of us had to see if our livers still worked.  After a nice evening with Mama and Papa Mazur we headed back to the hotel as our ride to Berlin was at 5:00am the next morning.  Wally told us that his uncle would be waiting for us in the morning as he wanted to say good bye.  True to his word at 5:45am he was waiting outside with three shots of Vodka and pickles for Jared, Stephanie and myself.  Once again being shown how the Polish men can drink. Jared and Stephanie it was great spending the week with you two traveling all over Poland.  I hope that you were able to run through the airport and make your plane this morning. Tokie, Magda, Wally, Ivette and your parents, friends and family thanks for making my first trip to Poland one that I will never forget.....or at least the parts that I remember. :)  It was my first but will definetly not be the last.  Wally and Ivette I hope that you two enjoy the next week and a half in Poland and congtats on your new apartment.  You can now keep an eye on Goose and make sure he is behaving.  Ola and Jafi, so much fun meeting you two.  When you come to visit the boys in Montana let me know.  Tokie and Magda...What a great couple you two make. Congrats on the little one that is on the way and I am so proud that you are going to name it Swanny after me!!!!!! Thanks for the letting me share in the celebrations and be apart of both of your weddings.  A special time and I wish you both nothing but the best.  Keep in touch and I hope that you enjoy the pictures.  I miss everyone tons and my next update will be from the French Open and if you qre lucky you will see a picture of Daniela and I.  We are entered in the mixed draw so keep you eyes open.
