Maid of Honor
Jenn and I met halfway through college at RIT. We became friends and started going on double dates together and doing fun activities around Rochester. Since then we have weekly catch ups with each other while doing long distance!
Best Man
As Charlie’s older brother, I always knew he'd create a fulfilling and successful life for himself. His creativity, ingenuity, and intelligence have paved the way towards exactly that. He's grown into a man that I couldn't be more proud of and is building a life of forever happiness with his soon to be wife Jenn. Though not getting to be around Charlie and Jenn as much as l'd like to due to our work and life schedules, every reunion is a reminder of how close we really are. Jenn has seamlessly become part of our family, blending right in to our family's favorite Christmas Eve parties. She's proved she can hang! I welcome my new sister into the family with open arms.
Bridesmaid
I knew Jenn was the one for Charlie the moment he introduced her to the family. She quickly became like a second sister to me. I’m so grateful he brought her into our lives. I can’t wait until she’s officially a Poliwoda!
Groomsman
Charlie and I met at a high school robotics competition in 2015. The next year our robotics teams held some practices together and we became acquainted and exchanged social media. A few years later, when I had graduated highschool and accepted an offer at RIT, I saw Charlie post that he was at the RIT open house. I messaged him out of the blue and asked if he wanted to be dorm mates, and the rest is history. I got to meet Jenn three years later during one of our weekly movie nights at his apartment. She began coming weekly where we would cook dinner as a group and watch a movie Charlie had never seen. From then I've gotten to watch them grow as a couple and I can't wait to see where they'll go.
Bridesmaid
I met Jenn at a family event and welcomed her right away. With Charlie being my cousin, I would only see them every once in a while, but since coming to college I have spent several weekends with them. I love spending time with them and couldn’t be more thankful!
Groomsman
I met Charlie while bowling at a fraternity rush event and we were in the same pledge class. We later went on to become roommates. While roommates, while I was lying on the floor watching a soccer game, Jenn came over to our apartment for the first time. Which is when I met Jenn.
Bridesmaid
I couldn't be more thrilled to be standing beside Jenn as one of her bridesmaids on this beautiful occasion. As Charlie’s cousin, I know he is so full of kindness and passion for science yet, Jenn has him running to catch up. I'm honored to witness him marry the love of his life. Here's to love, laughter, and happily ever after!
Groomsman
Growing up as Charlie’s cousin, I was able to witness him turn into the role model that he is today. One day at a family event, I was introduced to Jennifer, a passionate person with a loving soul. Ever since then, I have been able to watch their love grow into a beautiful connection that’ll last a lifetime. I wish them nothing but the best with their future endeavors and cannot wait to see the rest of their story unfold.
Bridesmaid
Jenn and I met during track of our freshmen year in high school. We both were part of the hurdle crew and we just instantly clicked. We survived many days of track and cross country together. We could just look at each other and instantly start laughing because we can almost sense what the other person is thinking without saying a word. Even though we have been through our ups and downs, we have stuck together after all of these years. We have seen many different phases of each other’s lives. Although we may be a whole country apart from each other, I can’t wait to see what else we will experience together in the future.
Groomsman
Charlie and I met in college while he was rushing our Fraternity, eventually becoming my Little. We clicked immediately and started hanging out and playing board games on a regular basis. We continue to have these sessions to this day in between going out and golfing.
