Life / Polish Wedding March & Funny Hat [37]

Thank you all so much!
My family and I have decided to mix in a little bit of both into our reception. We will have the funny hat just because I am half american and it would be too hilarious to pass up seeing the goofy hat my mother made for my future husband on his head :).

We will also be adding in the bread and salt welcome, but because our reception hall will not allow food that is unwrapped besides what they serve they will be offering a gift basket instead.

If I am not mistaken the oczepiny is when the bride is deveiled by her mother and a czepek is placed in the brides head in its stead My mother is having a wreath made for our special day because she said in her family they never used a czepek but a wreath instead.

A funny hat will be placed on the groom's head, representing the wish that the marriage will be full of happiness and laughter.

Life / Polish Wedding March & Funny Hat [37]

Does anybody know where I can find a copy of the Polish Wedding march?

Also does anybody know about the funny hat tradition that can tell me more than its just a hat that is placed on the grooms head? Like, who places the hat on the grooms head? Who makes the funny hat? What is suppose to be on the hat?

I am getting married this September I want to mix in some polish traditions into the wedding.

Dziękuję
Sabrina
