Life / Poland, what a place [8]

My brother married a Polish woman in Poland. The wedding feast went on for three days with non-stop food and drinks. They really understand hospitality there and take it to a whole new level apparently! Glad your experience went so well.

Life / St. Nicholas Day (Mikolajki) 6th December [12]

My brother is married to a Polish woman (we are Polish-American), and they celebrate Sw. Mikolaj on Dec. 6th here in the US with presents. They DO NOT exchange gifts on Christmas! That is to celebrate Christ's birth and not commercial interests. This is a useful website if you want more information and stories about Sw. Mikolaj (St. Nicholas) himself: stnicholascenter.org

Love / Polish songs for a wedding [23]

Some Polish wedding songs (Oczepiny - Unveiling Songs) that are used here in the US are:

Serdeczna Matko - Mother Beloved
Rosnie Trawka - The Unveiling Song
Spadła z Wisni - The Cherries are Falling
Pani Młoda - New Bride
Sto Lat - May You Live a Hundred Years
Górszka Wodka - Bitter Vodka
Jak Szybko Mijają Chwile - As Time Goes By

Take your pick - they are all great. Congratulations and good luck!
