THE FIRST THING A BRIDAL COUPLE SHOULD EAT IS BREAD AND SALT.
IF THEY DO THIS, THEY WILL NEVER GO HUNGRY DURING THEIR
MARRIAGE.

AFTER A POLISH WEDDING, THE BRIDE AND GROOM COME INTO THE
RECEPTION HALL (WHERE THE FESTIVITIES OF THE WEDDING TAKE
PLACE). THE COOK MEETS THEM AT THE DOOR OF THE HALL WITH BREAD
AND SALT. THEY EAT THIS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE AND BEFORE ANY OF
THE GUESTS EAT.

AT A POLISH WEDDING, AS THE BRIDE AND GROOM COME INTO
THE HALL, THE COOK THAT PREPARED THE FOOD BRINGS SALT
AND A LOAF OF BREAD TO THE DOOR. THE COUPLE THEN
TAKES A PORTION OF EACH TO EAT. THEY EAT THE BREAD
SO THAT THEY WILL NEVER GO HUNGRY, AND THE SALT IS TO
REMIND THEM TO GET USED TO THINGS THAT THEY DON'T LIKE.

WHEN I USED TO WORK AS A WAITRESS AT POLISH
WEDDINGS, THE COOK WOULD BE THE ONE WHO WOULD GREET
THE BRIDE AND GROOM WITH THE SALT AND BREAD. IT'S
STILL DONE TODAY.

MANNA FROM HEAVEN
THIS IS A POLISH WEDDING TRADITION CUSTOMARILY
PRACTICED BY THE NEWLYWEDS. AFTER THE WEDDING
CEREMONY, THE COUPLE GO TO THE PLACE WHERE
BREAKFAST IS SERVED. UPON THEIR ARRIVAL AT THE
ENTRANCE, THE COOK (OR ANYONE IN CHARGE OF PREPARING
THE MEAL) OFFERS THE BRIDE AND GROOM LITTLE PIECES
OF BREAD WHICH ARE SALTED. UPON EATING THE BREAD,
THIS SYMBOLIZES THAT THEY WILL NEVER GO HUNGRY
THROUGHOUT LIFE.
Submitter comment: I HAVE LEARNED THIS FROM MY POLISH ANCESTRY.
