Feb. 29 Within two minutes a happy couple for one day.: Finally everybody wants to be married once - but not every where you may do this so quick as on the Silesian wadding market/in Medel/Holstein. You merely go to the registrar and within two minutes you are a couple. But all that happiness is for one day only. But all those couples which then really marry for the whole life will get a prize by the city of W on next wedding-market. The one who believes that this is a marriage-broker's office on a large scale is really misunderstanding the whole thing. The wedding-market is one of the greatest Silesian poplar festivals which already takes place since the 12th century at the Zobton Mountain in the pla Gorkau-Rocalienthal. It is celebrated only once per year on Ascension Day. Photo shows there were 3000 marriages for one day on this year's ascension day. The registrar just filling in the contract
