Polish Traditions?

This was the closest area I could find to ask this question.





Does anyone have links to websites, or can tell me about their own family%26#039;s Polish marriage traditions.





My fiance %26amp; I are both half Polish and I really wanted to incorporate some Polish traditions into our wedding if possible. I want to do more than just play a polka at our reception.





Thank you!

Polish Traditions?
The Polka is actually a German dance, hun.





I%26#039;ve never seen people doing the polka at any of the weddings I%26#039;ve been to... and I%26#039;m 100% Polish, born and raised, and live in America now but attend dozens of Polish weddings.





The best way to incorporate Polish tradition includes:





1. A polish menu! Polish food is a must at a Polish wedding. If you email me I%26#039;ll detail to you what Polish food is.





2. Traditions are actually very similar as to here - a groom has to pull down a bride%26#039;s garter with only his teeth from beneath her dress; he throws it to bachelors and the first one to catch it gets married next. The bride throws her bouquet.





A big tradition is during the church ceremony to offer white lilies to a statue of the Virgin Mary. The bride usually does this - I remember doing this at my wedding, I even have a photo of it somewhere on my Yahoo 360!
