Hi, it is not exactly in Czech, but it is some slavic language. What a czech person would understand is: We will bring you happyness and take the the smut /ashes with us.

I'm not sure how they do things over there, but I come from a Czech family and every Czech wedding I've been to there has been a Grand March.  It's a traditional dance but don't worry, it's pretty much the same thing as follow the leader.  The parents or grandparents will lead the group and its a train of people playing follow the leader.  It's my favorite thing about Czech weddings!
