Polish Engagement and Wedding Traditions [42]
The bride and groom are greeted with bread, salt and wine
eeer wasnt it vodka insteed of wine ?
It can be only in a church now.
you can have only one wedding in church which will be containing both register office and catholic ceremony.
If you dont want to have church ceremony - you can go to register office alone
Now the young couple walk up to the altar together and behind them walk the witnesses, her parents, his parents then rest of the family
more likely now is that all guests and familly will be sitted in a church and only young couple will walk up to the altar together.
reception usually lasts two days. At 00:00 (midnight) of the wedding day there is a ceremony called oczepiny. Thats when bride takes off her veil and groom his tie/fly. Then they will throw it to catch by single women/men. Lots of signing and plays around that :)))
And obviously LOTS of drinking and LOTS of eating and LOTS of dancing during whole reception :)
