Another picture with Karolina (the bride's sister).
We sang a hymn and had prayer and Agata, the aunt,

read some interesting advice. We then ate and

everyone married told how they met their husband.

I enjoyed the social!!

The bride, groom and some of the party walked from their

apartment to the Lodz Registry Office for the wedding ceremony.

They are coming down the street. It is a busy street with

tramwei tracks and lots of cars.

officially man and wife a small band in the back

corner came out with a rousing tune of

congratulations for about 15 seconds.
