A Polish wedding among the Pules features mingled fun and profit as the bride gains a dowry from the celebration. After the feast a dance follows where men seek to partner the bride, paying for the privilege in a lively, guarded custom.
The Plate Test At Polish Wedding Banquet
A bride’s plate in a Polish rural wedding is guarded by a rule that a guest must deposit a coin of at least 50 cents to try to chip the plate. The goal is to win a dance with the bride and provide a cash prize that often totals 75 to 100 dollars, funding the couple’s new home. The custom is described as a practical test of generosity and luck.
