Wedding Party
Kamila Butowska
Bride
Jesse Mandell
Groom
Iwona Butowska
Mother of the Bride
She's the kind of mother who would do anything for her kids. Schedules, planning, and unconditional love were always present in my life. Love you mom!
Robyn Shifren
Mother of the Groom
Robyn is a world renowned ballerina and molder of North America's brightest young talent, however she is best known for being an incredible mother!
Wiesław Butowski
Father of the Bride
I got my stubbornness from him for sure. He's such a hardworking man who cracks a lot of jokes and dances the goofy dad way. Love you dad!
Colin Mandell
Father of the Groom
Colin is a world class Latin dancer. Clearly this trait skips a generation. We are all holding out to see what beautiful dancers Jesse's kids will be.
Milena Pieńkos
Maid of Honor
Known each other since 2014. She is the best Maid of Honor any person could ask for. No one else can yell at people as nicely as she does. She can make you the best home cooked dinner, dance the whole night wearing high heels, and also climb every peak in the Tatra Mountains.
Rafael Shifren
Best Man
Despite being in great shape, Rafael is endearingly referred to as Tubby and we will NEVER stop calling him that.
Katarzyna Lubian
Bridesmaid
Known each other since 2017. We met years ago at a kids summer camp where I was teaching science and she was the tennis coach. She became the friend who would never say no to glass of Prosecco and was always open for adventure. I am sorry for getting you a lifetime ban from Mevo for doing both at the same time.
Scott Walker
Groomsman
The Sports Car of friends. Just like a sports car, you can hear Scott coming LONG before you see him. I would never say this to his face but he is a very likeable and talented individual with a lot of great qualities (his best being his girlfriend Michele).
Monika Mieszała
Bridesmaid
Known each other since 2012. The sweetest person I've ever met. We quickly bonded over late-night study sessions and liters of coffee (Krebs! It's a citric acid cycle Krebs!). Our time in Munich was one of the best in my whole life!
Kamil Butowski
Groomsman
Yes, it's correct. Kamila little brothers' name is Kamil. Kamil, along with all of the Butowski family, has been so incredibly welcoming and kind to me. I look forward to calling him my new brother.
Paulina Okrój - Kuleczka
Bridesmaid
Known each other since 2012. My little sunshine! Sharing an apartment with you for 4 years was full of surprises... Kukurydzianka soup, late night dances in your bedroom, and hitchhiking after bars! Girl, I'm happy we're still alive.
Dylan Saffer
Groomsman
An international real estate mogul and aspiring Timothy Chalamet look-a-like, Dylan is my most talented friend.
Anna Romanowska
Bridesmaid
Known each other since 2014. Bydgoszcz, what an amazing weekend it was! She always had the best book recommendations, a hug you when needed, and could talk for hours over a drink at Fidel.
Nic Simitzi
Groomsman
Nic lives in New York and is currently a Captain in the U.S. Coast Guard. We should all feel safer knowing this intelligent, hardworking man guards our coasts.
Samanta Romanowska
Bridesmaid
Known each other since 2014. Her culinary adventures were not for everyone for sure.. starting with beans eaten right from the can to instant ramen noodles cooked with a hot dog sausage. I'll never forget the way we explored Portugal together, and remember they're twins ... rice and beans.
Jeff Ernst
Groomsman
Jeff Ernst is one of the top data technicians in the country and the person I will call first when I am in need. He will show up every time, albeit 30 minutes late.
Marta Swirog
Bridesmaid
Known each other since 2012. Having Covid was awful but the 3 weeks we spent together on the couch being "positive" was great! I promise not to take you to Anza Borrego again in June when it's 109 degrees.
Andre St. Martin
Groomsman
Andre is the most indecisive person I have ever met. The University of California, San Diego is still awaiting a response to his 2017 acceptance. He is also incredibly kind, talented, and the most genuine person I know.
Patrycja Wecławska
Bridesmaid
Known each other since 1993. Growing up as cousins, our mothers made sure to dress us identically. Our childhood was full of summers by the lake, monopoly games, snowball fights and Easter egg hunts. I'm convinced your laugh is the loudest I have ever heard!
Lou Olvera
Groomsman
Lou's life was the inspiration for the hit Disney Movie, Coco. Ask him to sing one of the many beautiful songs from the movie. (I also think he is Kamila's favorite of my friends).
Agnieszka Borowik
Bridesmaid
Known each other since 2017. Driving from northern to southern Poland with a broken clutch? Only with you. Visiting Oklahoma City over and over again? Only for you! Learning about Ames test? Only from you!
Michael Quirch
Groomsman
Don't worry Poles, we don't quite understand Mike either. But you don't need to understand him to know he is one of my closest and kindest friends.
