POLISH WEDDING CUSTOM
AT A POLISH WEDDING, THE BRIDE'S VEIL IS TAKEN OFF AT
MIDNIGHT. THIS SYMBOLIZES THAT SHE IS NO LONGER A
BRIDE, BUT IS A MARRIED WOMAN, SINCE HER WEDDING
DAY IS OVER. THEY SING A SONG CALLED "TWELVE ANGELS."
THIS IS SUNG IN POLISH AND IS ABOUT ANGELS WHO CARRY
DIFFERENT THINGS, HAVING TO DO WITH THE WEDDING DAY;
FOR EXAMPLE A WREATH OF LEAVES, WHICH IS THE BRIDAL
CROWN.
Submitter comment: SHE LEARNED THIS FROM HER FAMILY.
