Jewish weddings differ quite drastically from their Christian counterparts.
For one thing they take place in the evening, usually at about 8.30pm and invariably on a Tuesday. You arrive hungry. These are just the starters, but are vitally important, as there only ever seems to be a half dozen waiters to service the 50-odd tables. Consequently you can end up waiting for about 3 hours to get to the main course. So you sit down, dive into your plate of weird and wonderful hors-deuvs and help yourself to the free alcohol.
