Broadcasting from a palace hotel and wedding venue in Poland, Ryan and Agnes talk about Agnes renewing her wedding vows with her husband in the church of her childhood. They cover the venue and its spa, Agnes's hometown and its history, the year of paperwork to get the bishop's permission for a Friday church wedding, and Polish wedding customs including vodka toasts.
Takeaways
- A church wedding on a day the parish normally does not allow can take many months of paperwork and a bishop's permission, so start early.
- Agnes says the bishop's permission carried no fee; ask your own parish what is required.
- A venue that handles lodging, spa, food and reception on one site makes planning a destination celebration far easier for guests.
