  In the Polish tradition, we play "Twelve Angels."  I know there is a Polish and English version, we chose to do it in Polish.

  As lovely green grass grows, throughout the promised land,
  Before the main altar, you've given_____ your hand.
  You've given _______ your hand, he gave a golden band,
  Your eyes swelled up with tears, before your friends on hand.
  Twelve lovely white petals, attached to this white rose,
  Twelve heavenly angels, will serve the bride they chose.
  The first angel has brought a white candle's brilliance,
  The second angel brought, a lily's full fragrance.
  The third angel has brought a lovely bouquet to hold,
  The fourth angel has brought, your wedding band of gold.
  The fifth angel has come, with blessings from the Lord,
  The sixth angel has come, with matrimonial accord.
  Remaining six angels, come with a crown so keen,
  They'll place it on your head, as if upon a queen.
  You promised to be true, love honor and obey,
  In all your days ahead, uphold your vows today.
  Remember to be good, and live in wedded bliss.
  And in our presence now, honor him with a kiss.
  Remember ________, be true, your right hand on the cross,
  You've pledged your life and love, to ______who is the boss.
  Oh wedding gown and crown, somehow you make me sad,
  You make me feel that I'm losing my mom and dad.
  And yet with mom and dad, no longer shall you live,
  But only with your ______,to whom your life you give.
  Remember to be good, and live a life of prayer,
  And in a year or two, present him with an heir.
