Grzegorz,

Simply DELIGHTFUL!

Love the song and the WESELE (plural) especially the Polish Aristocracy! :-)

This is an oberek, right? They still play obereks at Polish American Weddings!

Hi Genia, in popular categories it would be called in Poland the "walczyk", meaning "a little waltz". But for me it is rather so-called "Spanish Waltz"

Thanks for the invitations to all those lively, joyous weddings from back in the days when people still got married!

Hi B., well, I think they still sometimes do but not in such a ceremonial way

[agrgurich]

Hi D., also the wedding of pretty Miss Wohl in Cracow looks like a gathering of quite a group of a Polish-Jewish plutocracy. And also in this case we may predict the finale - probably, not a "happy end" at all.

Congratulations for the beatiful music and the beautiful collection of pictures!

A cheery waltz and fascinating photos of Poland's aristocratic and upper class grandly celebrating in pre-war time, and of the plainer wedding celebration of the Bobover Rebbe (Hasidic Rabbi of Bobowa) He was killed by the Germans, but the dynasty still exist.
