Jane presents a quaich to the happy couple

Jane Bechtel, Perthshire Celebrant, CSC & BOT member assisted in the celebration of the the First Polish Humanist Wedding.
 
Held in Warsaw on Sunday the 9th of December, as part of the 100th anniversary conference of the Polish Freethinkers Association, the wedding generated a lot of interest and publicity across the Polish Media.
 
Humanist Ceremonies are very rare in Poland as 90% of the population is Catholic, however interest is increasing among younger people, and it has been suggested that many of those who have left the country to work in Western Europe find rational and humanist approaches appealing.
 
The societies of both countries look forward to a continued association now that contact has been firmly established.
