POLISH CIVIL CEREMONIES TRADITIONS

I know there have been numerous threads about Polish weddings on the PF's, but could someone tell me whether a civil ceremony is different to a tradition wedding? One of my friends (who's from the UK is marrying a Polish guy), she is divorced and not catholic - just wondering what the ceremony will be like??

It'll definitely be less formal and will only be immediate family. Depends on the family, but a wedding celebration regardless wether civil or traditional will be a good time.
