This is my older brother Rick and his bride Magda. They met in California where Rick lives and several years ago where Magda came to work. It is common for groups of young people from Europe to go to the U.S. or England to work and earn in six months what they cannot earn in 3 years in their home countries. Poland is very strongly rooted in the Catholic faith which means a big church wedding with family and friends. There was a traditional blessing by both the parents at a family members home only 30 minutes before the ceremony at the church. It was a special moment full of emotion and affection.
