Welcome to a four-day Polish neighborhood wedding party, where the bride and groom are harassed by the noisy chivalrie, where traditional foods are garden grown or cooked in yards and brought out to the line of trucks waiting to enter the Stockyards, and where kids shoot water guns filled with Holy Water.  You will see traditions that rekindle ties to the homeland, around Christmas, when Opatki is shared with papa’s stories and during the wedding, when the best man smashes a chair to see from the pieces how many children the couple will have.  Great heroes of Poland hang out with locals, to whose intimate stories are given a wink, a nod and a toast, Nostrovia!
