[TYSZKIEWICZ Beata, KOBIELA Boguslaw]. Invitation to the wedding of Beata Maria Tyszkiewicz and Bogumil Maria Kobiela, which never took place.
Single-sided print on ark. 10.4x14.5 cm. The bride and groom invite to their wedding, which was to have taken place on March 21, 1962 at 1 pm at the Carmelite Church in Warsaw. At the time, the actors were working on the set of the film "Late Passers-by." Tyszkiewicz recalls that "for the first time in Polish post-war cinema, a church wedding scene was filmed in a real church [...]. I was the bride [...]. The groom [...] was Bogumił Kobiela. I printed invitations for a joke [...]. I sent them to my and his friends with the date, time and exact address of the church. I tried to arrange them in such a way that they would arrive on the eve of the ceremony, not giving the surprised recipients time to inquire how and when our love broke out. [Almost all the invitees showed up. I received a lot of flowers, telegrams [...]. When it came out that it was just a scene for a movie, most liked our joke, but [...] a film critic even demanded a refund of the money spent on the cab and flowers [...]. The worst part of it all was that Bobek forgot to warn his then fiancée and later wife, Malgosia, about the joke" (B. Tyszkiewicz "Not Everything for Sale", War. 2004, pp. 103-104). Slight crease to left edge, good condition.
