So, there's a lot of Goralian or countryside customs.
The most important or usual:
1.when bride and room leave a church after the ceremony they have to be rain of grain (oat) which ensure them a lot of children.
2. At the midnight, during the wedding party, the'y organise "ocepiny" what means that the bride stops to be a Miss and start to be a Ms ;) It can take even an hour if it's reali lied to tradition. But usual the bride blasts her veil and that single woman which catch it will be married during one year (the same for single mens, but groom blast his tie).
Southern Poland - mountain - wedding reception can take even a week and be prepared even for 300 (yes, 3 hundred) people.
