Matt's Witness
In the Polish tradition, we will be having one witness by our side each, instead of bridal parties. Natalia is Matt's sister. Tal lives in the Boston area with her husband, Tim, and their loving dog, Logan. Even though she's stubborn like a mule and enjoys ridiculous reality television, Tal was truly a role model to Matt growing up and is where he gets his ambition.
Amanda's Witness
Michael is Amanda's younger brother. He is currently obtaining his Ph.D. in Biology at the University of Alabama ("Roll Tide," he says!). Out of the entire immediate family, he has worked and lived in the most states: Florida, New Jersey, Connecticut, Ohio, and Alabama. Michael is the literal definition of the word 'procrastinator,' yet he inspires Amanda to have a good mix of fun and hard work. Michael will be walking Amanda down the aisle.
Moms
Our moms will be walking down the aisle together first. We are so happy they are going to be apart of our wedding, especially since neither of our fathers are alive to see us get married. Danuta is from northern Poland and moved to Connecticut with her family in 1994 (when Matt was 3). Sue's grandparents are from Poland and she grew up in the Chicago area, though she now calls Windermere, FL home. Our moms may have grown up in different parts of the world, but as you can tell from the above photo, they unintentionally match and they add laughter to everyone's lives.
