The cook proudly shows the guests everything the crew has been cooking around the clock for 2 days using various blends of many spices. I wanted to see but i cant imagine how the teams could even german food when hes used to this do is to us you know that was his that he never let on that it seemed strange to him in fact yeah was ate everything this up there for he did say he had to practice a bit to be able to handle german food is all right i say so given our meat and potatoes diet put aside. 500 guests are expected.

I know who pays homage to her future mother in law. Her own mother takes leave of her. And prestige takes her as his wife. Some of the rituals are unknown to a new.
