POLISH WEDDING TRADITION

EVERYBODY AT THE RECEPTION STANDS IN ONE LONG LINE
WITH THE NEWLY WEDDED COUPLE IN FRONT. THE BRIDE
AND GROOM KISS EACH OTHER AND FORM THE BEGINNING OF
ANOTHER LINE, ACROSS FROM THE FIRST LINE. THE PEOPLE
IN THE OTHER LINE KISS THE BRIDE AND KISS OR SHAKE
HANDS WITH THE GROOM, THEN GET IN THE NEW LINE. THIS
CONTINUES UNTIL THE FIRST LINE IS GONE.
