Love / Advice Please! Meeting my Polish boyfriend's parents!! Gifts, customs... [105]

Merged: First Meeting with a girl I'm dating in Poland!

Hi,

Im dating a Polish girl and will be travelling to Poland to visit her and her family on boxing day "26th December".
I have never met her family before, is there anything in particular i must do or remember when i meet them?.
Gifts, greetings, traditions, customs.......stuff like that?.
Im learning Polish and can speak general conversation (nothing to complex).
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.

Love / Asking her family for permission to propose to my Polish girlfriend? [28]

Hi,

I have been with my girlfriend (Polish) for some time now......
I have been to Poland to meet her family and friends.....and from what i have been told by my girlfriend, they all approve of me.

I feel i have hit the point where i want to spend the rest of my life with this girl and so i am planning to propose to her.

Being English, i have done my fair share of research into Polish culture and i know that it differs depending on where in Poland you are from.

In England, although sometimes, not many people ask the womans parents for permission, they just do it........and if im honest i have never heard of someone proposing and then the family not agreeing with it.

So my question is........would it be ok for me to propose without permission? Bearing in mind her parents do not speak one word of english, and it would be very hard for me to get there without my girlfriend knowing about it.........

Please help me fast as i plan to propose on a surprise romantic birthday trip for her on 5th July :o)

Dziekuje! :o)

Thank you all :) I can speak quite a lot of polish already :) and smurf, thank you but our plan is to get married in Poland and live in Poland in the future. As much as I appreciate your replies, I would prefer more serious answers. I have worked my butt off to learn the traditions, language and pretty much everything else that comes with it, all for this one girl. So I want to make sure that I do things properly........ dziekuje bardzo!

Not going to lie, I love the arguments :) certainly make my day. Thank you all again :) you are correct I am 22, as for the latter statements. I am financially stable, stable job, my own property, as is the same for my girlfriend. This is one of many reasons why I feel it's the right time. I have decided not to ask permission or blessing. After a chat with my girlfriend (without giving away too much i got her opinion)we have decides that at the end of the day, me and my girlfriend are old enough to make our own decisions and old enough/mature enough to know that we want to spend the rest of our lives together. I plan on moving to krakow in the near future. Although I will get engaged, we both agree that wedding would be a couple of years yet. We will be living together when we are engaged :) again, thank you all for your help, it's very much appreciated....and by all means, let the banter continue :) thank you, wish me luck ;)

Language / Proposal words in Polish, HELP! :) [13]

Hi,

As I am planning on proposing to my girlfriend, I've come up with a plan of how I will do it.
I need to know how to say the following:

There are so many things I want to say but words are not enough, so I will start with this;
I know we have not been together long but I feel like I have known you all my life. I've learnt so much about you, but most importantly, I've learnt that there is no one else I would rather spend the rest of my life with then you. Not only are you my girlfriend, but also my best friend and my soulmate. I never thought that I would ever be happy again, until the day I met you. My whole life has changed for the good and it's you who has made this possible. I love you and always will. So, as I am running out of things to say, there's only one thing left that I can say and that's; Will you do me the honour of letting me care, protect and love you by becoming my wife?

I need this (or as close as) translated into Polish as soon as possible because I plan on learning it all to say to my girlfriend :)

Dziekuje bardzo :)

Language / Proposal words in Polish, HELP! :) [13]

Pawian, thank you for your fast answer, I have someone who will teach me this (polish woman at work). But she is on holiday until Thursday so I'm getting it translated now. I've learnt polish at college but not enough to translate this. That's why I asked for it all to be translated :) thanks again :)
