Love / English proposing to a Polish lady [31]
Hi
Have been married to Polish Lady now my wife for 3 years.
My wife wears her rings in the English way .
I proposed as you would if she was English
The mother-in-law is as mad as a box of frogs so left that well alone.
One quirky thing you should know.
At first we wanted to get married in Poland for ease for her extended family.
However it was easier to get married in the UK due to a strange law they have which is this.
If you are divorced,( 1 or both) and your divorce was before Poland joined the EU you have to get a letter from you ex-Wife/Husband giving you permission to re-marry.
Then this has to go the Polish court for the courts permission which could take a couple of years ( If your lucky).
If your divorce was after Poland joined the EU non of the above applies and you could get hitched in a matter of weeks.
In the UK no additional rules for EU citizens and you will treated like any other couple.
Hope that helps.
