Staying at a Hotel when there's a Wedding going on
9 times out of 10 if you book a big hotel on a saturday night you'll find there's a wedding on. Happened to me loads of times...you just join in
A wedding I was at a few years ago, the bridesmaids decamped to another wedding in a different function room of the same hotel, because that one had a free bar

I was working in Helsinki and staying in a rather swank hotel and one evening when I got back to my room, reception rang up and suggested that I might like to move rooms. Apparently I was 2 floors above the ballroom and there was a wedding party that night (on a Wednesday?) which was a Russian one as St. Petersburg is just up the road. I politely declined as (a) it was a damned swish room and I had all my tulip spread over it and (b) the ballroom was 2 floors below so surely I'm not going to hear anything, wrong! At about 22:00 it started and although not loud it was fairly noticeable and continued until about 3 in the morning. I did have a look out the window to the carpark which was full of your typical Russian oligarch bling cars but I was able to nod off. The next morning I left my room and people were still wandering around and I bumped into a rather tiddley Anzhelika and Galina so not much work was done that day (which will explain why SSH has problems!)
