Poland’s Wedding to the Sea was a ceremony meant to symbolize restored Polish access to the Baltic Sea that was lost in 1793 by the Partitions of Poland.
It was first performed on 10 February 1920 by General Józef Haller at Puck (Putzig).
They did have a mass on the beach and threw in a silver ring into the water.
Very cute newlyweds I’d say 🥰
Must have been hell of a wedding night.
Honeymoon is wild lmao
I was at the 100 year reenactment 2 years ago
