Gossip Girl, I am not

Confession: I am a 27 year old woman who enjoys watching shows about trendy high school kids, and Gossip Girl is one of my favorites.  Blair is absolutely my fashion icon, and I am strangely attracted to the naughtiness that is Chuck Bass.

This week's episode was particularly exciting for me.  Why?  I'll give you two words:  Polish Wedding.

That's right, the very Polish Dorota got married this week, and I had big hopes for her wedding.  Because she kept talking about how incorporating tradition into the ceremony was very important to ensure a successful union, I thought that I was in for a slight glimps into my own wedding:  a modern North American affair, with a mix of "the old country".

Unfortunately, Dorota's wedding was quite disappointing.  There wasn't a single tradition that I recognized, and the ceremony didn't even take place in a church.  This is highly unlikely for a Polish wedding, considering that 95% of people living in Poland are Catholics.  I feel like the writers of the show couldn't be bothered to do even the minimal amount of research to ensure that the wedding at least resembled something that could be called "traditional".

To the show's credit, Dorota's fiance is Russian, so maybe some of the customs they showed were from the Russian tradition.  I also loved how they featured "I got a Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas played on the accordion.

Do you watch Gossip Girl?  What did you think of Dorota's wedding?
