Nuptial ceremony literature, created on the occasion of weddings, constitutes an interesting source for the research into the mentality of the 17th and 18th century people. Nuptial literature was characterized by a great diversity of forms and styles. A literary term connected with this sort of ephemeral creations is epithalamium, a form of superordinate function with respect to all other literary forms produced on the occasion of a wedding, such as speeches and toasts. Occasional literature not only shows the grandeur of the Old-Polish wedding ceremony, but is also a source for the research into the history of family. From the countless praises included in epithal mia or wedding speeches, an image of a perfect woman can be retrieved. The analysis of wedding poetry allows a reconstruction of the role models of a maiden, a wife and a mother. Those images were obviously idealistic visions, which often reflected the unattainable, yet they reveal the preferences concerning woman's appearance or character.

Prenuptial agreements provide us with much information on legaland moral aspects of constracting marriage. A premariitial agreement defined the marriage portion given to a woman on her marriage and the length of time permitted for repayment. The future husband's obligations assumed towards his wife were also descrebed accurately. The prenuptial agreements, accompanied by other family dociments such as a life estate or a testament, throw light not only on a matter of certain terms regarding women entering into marriage but also on actual fultilment of the obligations imposed by prenuptal agreements. The lien, the signatures of numerous wintesses and the offer (oblatus) might lead to the conclusion that premarital agreements were treated in all seriouseness. With changing times and legal religious requirements, the marriage contract was broken down into several parts: one of them was a pre-marriage engagment which turned to be an occasion to made a list of premarital agreements valid for both sides.

In the old Polish period, orations were an indispensable elemant of all family celebrations. Gentry, and other social classes folowing it, took delight in long speeches. Wedding speeches can be classified in a border group of panegyric occasional compositions, in which the key role played by the praise of the families of the newlyweds, and of the personal merits of the young couple. Wedding speeches constitute an omportant historical source for research into the customs of the 17th and the 18th centuries. On the one hand, they show the great emphasis which people in those times placed on ostentation and theatrical effect of the celebrations, and on the other, they supply valuable information about the patterns of an old Polish family, e.g. what a good wife should be, or what qualities a husband should have. Wedding speeches are also abundant in praisec of the institution of marriage. Wedding orations promoted a specific model of living in which family and family connections played a very important role.
