Wedding cake is the most important in reception, that's the center attraction. You should chose the best and the delicious one.

Do you know that 23rd of June is a very special day in Poland? We call it "Sobótka". "Traditional folk rituals include groups of young men and women singing ritual songs to each other. The young women may wear crowns fashioned from wild flowers, which are later thrown into a nearby pond or lake. The boys/young men may then swim out to claim one of the crowns. Bonfires (and bonfire jumping) are also part of the proceedings." My english is not very good, so please forgive me, I copied the description from wikipedia. Anyway, 23 rd of June is considered a very lucky day to get married. Once again I wish you all the best. You are my dearest writer.Robin Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01873729896265220540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-32380992777065665102012-06-22T02:57:01.564+01:002012-06-22T02:57:01.564+01:00Sorry about the duplication, must have pressed Pub...Sorry about the duplication, must have pressed Publish twice.Sue Bursztynskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09362273418897882971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5502671101756463249.post-29222990909411634762012-06-22T02:56:20.558+01:002012-06-22T02:56:20.558+01:00What a delightful post!
