AT A POLISH WEDDING, THE BEST MAN WOULD DANCE WITH THE
BRIDE AND PUT A PRICE ON HER. THE PRICE COULD BE A
GIFT OR A SUM OF MONEY (SOMETHING WITHIN REASON) AND
THE GROOM WOULD THEN HAVE TO BUY HIS BRIDE BACK BY
GETTING WHAT THE BEST MAN WANTED.
Submitter comment:
MY GRANDFATHER WAS WED DURING PROHIBITION AND THE BEST
MAN WANTED A BOTTLE OF WHISKEY. SO AT ONE O'CLOCK
IN THE MORNING, HE HAD TO GO TO A BOOTLEGGER AND GET
A FIFTH OF WHISKEY.
