Cultural Note
Polish weddings typically involve two ceremonies: 'ślub cywilny' (civil ceremony at the registry office) and 'ślub kościelny' (church ceremony). Most Poles consider the church wedding the 'real' one. Polish weddings ('wesele') are legendary for lasting until dawn with abundant food, vodka, and traditional games.
