Polish wedding traditions

Does anybody know of any polish wedding traditions? I can only find two: the money dance and a breade, wine, salt ceremony.

I'm doing the money dance! My mom is currently struggling to find a 'bridal babushka,' hahaha.

Don't know any others though, sorry.

I read that the bride and groom walk up the aisle together, which I thought was interesting.

Removal of th veil/replaceing with an apron or cap

Did you know Polish wedding traditionally don't take place during Lent OR Advent:?

It seems that Western weddings are very similar to Polish weddings though from what I've read... I'm not finding anything more specific than what you'e already got

In smaller villages, a crown of rosemary is woven for the bride, representing remembrance, because they didn't wear veils until the 19thc. I had rosemary added to my girls bouquet and the guys boutineers to represent my husband's Polish ancestry.
