Wedding Party
Bohdanna Danylewycz
Matron of Honor
Bohdanna and Adriana met at Ukrainian band camp, where Bohdanna bullied the bride. They've been attached at the hip for 16 years and counting.
Paul Stasiuk
Best Man
Paul and Denys have known each other since childhood (or possibly before - Denys's dad introduced Paul's parents). Now, Paul and Denys spend most of their time together eating sushi and bothering their fiancées.
Beth Hughes
Bridesmaid
Beth and Adriana met their first year in college and spent 10 years exploring New York together, usually starting off with dinner at Kiki's.
Mykola Kuzyk
Groomsman
Mykola and Denys share Plast camp experiences, a birthday (one week apart), and a mutual appreciation for all activities boat-related.
Melanie Mironovich
Bridesmaid
Melanie has known Adriana since age five and coined the nickname "AK." Melanie is born four days before Adriana, and for those four days is respectfully referred to as her elder.
Alex Pilecky
Groomsman
It's not easy being Denys's brother, but Alex rises to the occasion. He's still pretty humble about his ability to beat Denys in basketball.
Becca van Sambeck
Bridesmaid
Becca and Adriana met as roommates in Brooklyn and have traveled the country together, feeling especially at home at Pat O'Briens in New Orleans.
Vito Freese
Groomsman
Vito and Denys have bonded over many a Madison night with Toppers pizza sticks — a tradition kept alive once they moved together to Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood.
Jillian Castaldo
Bridesmaid
Jillian and Adriana grew close just as Jillian was leaving NYC for SF. But the friendship has only grown, with these two exploring California's forests, beaches, ice cream shops, and bookstores together.
Daniel Grunsted
Groomsman
Daniel and Denys have been college pals, Chicago roommates, Accenture colleagues, and now steak dinner partners.
