Polish Wedding Custom - Song

At the end of the reception, everyone sings:

Twelve angels carrying
God's blessing from above
Twelve angels carrying
Twelve angels carrying
God's blessing from above.

My dearest mother
I'm leaving you today
To live with my man
To live with my man
On this my wedding day.
