Polish women

Polish women are unlike Western women and this due to the historical, cultural and political situation of the country. The woman in Poland has always been cherished as a homemaker, a great wife and a mother to her children. She has always been a pillar of the family, often working outside of the home and taking care of her husband and her children on top of that.

Polish society gives a high priority of raising children and the woman is given the responsibility of raising children and caring for her family. Polish woman is sometimes a stay-at-home mother or she works professionally outside of home. In such situations, small children spend the day either in a day care or at one of the relatives.

In fact, the women work double jobs while their husbands usually work at only one job. The jobs the women hold are usually in the areas of education and healthcare. Demanding as those jobs may be, the Polish women are expected to give 100% of their efforts to caring for their husband and the household. The women work hard and when their husbands come home they can enjoy the atmosphere of a clean home. Polish women are proud of being able to offer freshly cooked meal to their husbands and allow them to relax in the atmosphere of their home.

Apart from extensive knowledge on how to take care of their families' appetites and leisure time, they know a lot about being diligent and economical. Moreover, some of them can even fix broken things although they do appreciate if a man can do it for them.

Polish females marry on average at the age of 25. When they get married, they hardly ever divorce. Divorce is not as common in Poland as it is in many western countries. This is associated with Poland being a traditionally Catholic country. As wives, Polish women are very devoted and faithful.

Polish women have always had equal access to education and today they have high levels of educational accomplishment. Poland offered women more opportunities for higher education and employment than did most West European countries. Many professions, such as university teaching, architecture and engineering employed a considerably higher percentage of women in Poland than in the West.

Polish Girls

Polish girls, unlike girls from Western countries, are brought up in close-knit families where respect and mutual love are priorities. Therefore family life is very important to them. Girls are taught to respect their siblings and their elders. The girls are not supposed to be loud, obnoxious or ill mannered. On the contrary, they are expected to be disciplined, well behaved, cheerful and calm. The girls learn to be mature and efficient in running the household. It is easy then for them to use the practical knowledge they gained at their own home once they get married and start their own family.

Polish girls are brought up to have great respect for their tradition and culture. Polish traditions are especially respected during the major religious holidays: Easter and Christmas.

Polish girls are not as modern and liberated as western women and they take their commitments very seriously.

Girls from Poland go to coeducational schools. They are brought up not only to excel at all subjects but also to be disciplined students. Their education is usually comprehensive and very much in-depth. Girls study arts, sciences and foreign languages and practice sports. Apart from compulsory courses, Polish girls also take part in extracurricular activities. After graduation from grade school, Polish girls strive for a better education by attending colleges and universities.

Polish girls are known for their beauty, femininity and grace. Their unusual beauty has been recognized in 1990 when Aneta Kreglicka became Miss Polonia and also Miss World. Polish girls pride themselves on their taste in clothes and fashion. The closeness of Poland to the world’s fashion capital - France - makes it easy for them to follow the newest trends in style.

Polish Wedding, Polish Bride and Engagement Ceremony

The Engagement Ceremony

In Polish culture, weddings are preceded with an engagement celebration. This is usually a small party held for the closest family members of the groom and the bride. The engagement dinner party means that both families accept the engagement.

In the past, the engagement ceremony was the time when the future bride was given a ring by her beloved partner before the entire family gathering in a very official way, which resembled to some extent the wedding ceremony itself. In recent years, however, the ring is delivered when the future groom pops the question for the first time in a more private setting. The family gathering is just a nice way of informing the family members about the decision once it has been made.

The Polish Wedding Ceremony

In the modern day open-minded Polish younger generations and celebrities copy the western examples and some Polish brides and Polish grooms like to hold bachelor and bachelorette parties before the wedding day. Playing pool and throwing darts during the bachelor party is not there yet on this occasion; nonetheless, socializing and too heavy drinking sound more like it. The bachelorette party usually involves girlish gossip with closest friends.

Today you can have either a civil or a church wedding in Poland. Couples that decide to have a religious marriage ceremony can head straight to the church, which passes the information over to the vital statistics registrar's office for legal registration. Polish men and women who feel liberated from religious concerns settle with a civil contract. Churches announce the upcoming wedding three times few weeks in advance. It is not to have more guests attend, rather, it is meant to give everyone a notice about the upcoming marital union so that anyone who may know any reason that should prevent the marriage has time to come forward. The wedding ceremony itself is usually accompanied with a mass celebration at the heart of which are the vows and blessing of the marriage.

Many Polish weddings are held on Saturdays and continue through Sundays. The marriage ceremony and wedding reception for all guests take place on Saturday, while a smaller, more private party for close friends and family is continued on Sunday. The wedding starts normally with the groom arriving to the house of the bride before they head to the church. His parents, godparents, closest family and the best man accompany him. Once the couple is ready, both parents give their blessings to the kneeling couple and they all are off to church. Obviously, everyone wants to shine on that day, so the young couple borrows or rents a nice ride from a rental agency or family members if they do not own one. In some regions, decorated horse carriages are favoured for such occasions.

In the church, the bride and the groom walk up the aisle while the parents and other guests are already seated. Both in church and at a local magistrate, there must be two witnesses of the marriage, who endorse the documents alongside of the bride and groom. Civil ceremonies are of course less solemn.

After the happy newlyweds exit the building, they are taken by storm with congratulations, flowers and best wishes. Once every attending guest had kissed and hugged the couple, everyone is heading to the reception site, be it a restaurant, banquet hall, or one of the newlyweds parents’ houses.

The wedding reception starts as soon as the married couple arrives and is traditionally welcome by the entrance with bread and salt. Bread and salt are symbols of future prosperity so that the couple never goes about hungry in their lives. The wedding party lasts as long as the guests are happy to stay, in most cases overnight. Polish weddings are famous for an unbelievable abundance of all kinds of foods and alcohol. In recent years, most people are more careful about their budgeting and time, so the weddings start to resemble wedding receptions in the West with a nice dinner and a short duration.

In Poland, weddings in the countryside are usually much bigger than weddings in the cities. The reason is simple; in the countryside all people know each other, so most get invited to the wedding. A special moment of Polish wedding celebrations is when the Polish bride is taken the white veil off and an apron is wrapped around her waist. This symbolizes that she gives up her innocence and takes up her duties as a wife, a hostess and a mother. Once this tradition is satisfied, the wedding guests give their presents to the newlyweds.

Once the wedding is over and the couple arrives to their own house or apartment, the groom has to carry his bride over the threshold . This means that he will always carry his treasured wife in his arms throughout their whole live together.
