Marriage: how to ask a polish woman?



Jean   Dec 17, 06, 09:40 /  #
Hello all,

Sorry for the poor English, I am French-Canadian.

I am about to ask my girlfriend to marry me. I have written a short text in French and I am trying to translate it in Polish. I know that Poles in general are really close to their family. On Christmas day, my girflriend's grandfather will come for diner. Now I know she really loves her grandfather. And I also know she really really loves when I speak polish (I learned a bit...I can express myself and be understood on a basic level) Now my plan is the following: I will rehearse my text and during the diner, I will ask for her hand in Polish in front of her family.

Now for all you Poles here, I know that the traditions are different from North America's (well, I don't really know what our tradition here is, since I never in the world thought about marriage before I met Ania...), so do you think I am breaking any strict Marriage rule in Poland by doing so?

I know her family really like me, but I just want to make sure I am not breaking an important polish tradition here..

Thanks!

Jean

How sweet. Ania and her family will really love it, especially that you will propose in polish. You are not breaking any rules.

In the old, old tradition you would actually ask her Father for his daughter's hand in marriage. Nowadays, it would be just cute but maybe awkward....Ania can speak for herself.

Good Luck!!!
