Marriage Procedure in Poland

And it would be wise to employ the same tactics at the birth of your first child;)

Many congratulations to you and your wife Seanus.

Thanks, Szarly, much appreciated! The kid is for later, it likely won't be delivered until 2011 but I won't discuss this too much on an open forum.

I want to say my vows in Polish, already! Seems so romantic for some reason....:P

Polish Girls are no longer this what they was once!!! I live in Cracow and know what I'm talking about, the girls are like American girls. I should go to a small mountain village, I'm sure the girls there are more religious and traditional. k98_manYou look like 16, you know a girl who you want marry already?

nah theyve just learned not to put up with the shite their mothers did.

then, if somehow i have to marry, i will have to take her out of poland. any country with vowless marriage? (here in turkey, it is possible formally in an office in some minutes, but, still 2 witnesses are needed.) marriage with no vows and no witness, just submitting paperworks, finished. anywhere where this is possible?

Wroclaw BoyYou don't know jack.

Not in any civilised country I know of, nomad. Witnesses attest to the consummation of marriage and you can't circumvent that, it just is.

Tell me, what use is a marriage without any vows? It's the whole point, to solemnly declare and affirm your commitment to your partner.

I suggest getting married to a horse, nomad. See how you go and be sure to send me a postcard from the village honeymoon ;) ;)

Seanus Not the marriage, the marriage and vows in Poland are the best. I mean something different, but you are an American, it does not make sense to discuss with you about this, you can't understand this.

Aha, ok, that's news to me but nevermind :) I'll get my parents to change my birth certificate and the US authorities to somehow recognise me as an American.

I've just undertaken the process of marriage in Poland, it'll be 4 weeks on Saturday.

I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing ;) ;) (Pulp Fiction)

Well I am 19 (as of today) not 16, but I might have an idea.

But my reference was more of the fact I like the idea of saying the vows in another language to affirm your love/commitment to your loved one (whomever it may be).

It is a nice thing but be mindful of the need to show an understanding of those words. I spent the night before my wedding saying them with English foremost in my mind, i.e using Polish but feeling the sense in English.

Yeah they are worthless without it in some ways.

In almost all ways I'd say. Otherwise, it'd be like a contract with no value.

Seanus , do you still have this copy of Polish marriage vows...? You never know , maybe i might need them some day...? I wonder if my Russian beauty will understand them...?

They are floating about somewhere. If not, I can get a copy quite easily. Aren't you past that game, Jan? ;) ;)

Not quite...i am ready to settle down , and get married if i find the right one....i think maybe i found her.....

OK, it takes some time as you will no doubt be aware. I have even memorised the lines so, when the right time comes around, I'll be ready to pass them on.

you have not met her.

True....she could be a complete monster...but i think not....

Russian scammers are all over the place , but they are pretty easy to suss out , i can smell em in an instant.... Usually they are very young , very pretty , and instantly fall in love with the 60 year old fat British guy they write to...Yeah right..?

My lady is a little older , very pretty , but definatly not a scammer , my ex girlfriend in the UK studied at the same university that my lady teaches at , so i know for sure she is genuine...Besides , she knows i don,t have any money , and she still wants me...

Did you make your own Polish vows Seanus? Or with the help of your (now) wife?

Nah, she downloaded a copy of the standard text from the net. Tekst przysięgi I think it was called.

Świadomy praw i obowiązków wynikających z założenia rodziny, uroczyście oświadczam, że wstępuję w związek małżeński z (imię Panny Młodej) i przyrzekam, że uczynię wszystko aby nasze małżeństwo było zgodne, szczęśliwe i trwałe.

?

Aware of the laws and obligations resulting from the formation/consummation/establishing of family, I solemnly declare that, upon entering into the relationship of marriage with X, I swear that I will do everything in my power to make our marriage agreeable, happy and lasting.

Exactly, that's it k98_man
