Im considering asking my Polish girlfriend to marry me.

I was wondering if there are any traditions associated with marriage in Poland?

For example do I have to ask her Fathers permission? Is there a traditional way to ask?

I would like to do this correct and surprise her and her family with my research. Also, I would appreciate it if you could tell me the Polish for Will you marry me

Dziekuje bardzo

Congratulations Craig, not being funny but if you type "wedding" in to the search box ( top right of screen )you'll get heaps of pointers. Good luck.

Yes, a Polish wedding is much different than an American one. First of all, if things have not changed, there are no rehearsal dinners. The costs are most of the time divided equally between the Bride and the Groom. The Bride takes care of the food and the reception place and the Groom takes care of the car, music and alcohol at the reception. Of course, everything is up to the Bride and the Groom. Most of the time you do not ask for the Father's permission to marry his daughter. The engagement is often very intimate. The wedding rings in Poland are worn on the right hand instead left according to the American tradition. In the church the Bride and the Groom walk together to the altar, the Bride is on the right side of the Groom. They will receive a lot of greetings and flowers in front of the church after the ceremony is over.

The wedding reception starts almost immediately after the ceremony. It might last till 4 or 5 or even 6 a. m. There's a lot of eating and dancing involved. It's a lot of fun! You are going to love it! Polish people like to celebrate various occasions. The following day, you may still celebrate 'the wedding' in the Bride's parents house.

I hope this will help you.

Good luck!

BTW: Have you learnt how to ask the woman to marry you in Polish? She'll be impressed if you do :-)

Prenups are not typical in Poland.

Flowers are a big deal. And... don't forget to kiss your future mother-in-law's hand when you meet her :-)

If you get married in Poland be sure that the priest knows how to say you name. Alot of Polish people will have trouble with 'Craig' in the beginning.
