9:30 a.m. Anthony, his groomsmen, and family will make their way to Anna's house (two blocks away). In Polish tradition, the groom meets his bride before the actual wedding, and both the bride and groom's parents give the couple a special blessing before the church ceremony. After the blessing and a few pictures, the bridal party and family will head to the church at around 10:15 a.m.

11 a.m. Wedding Ceremony at St. Mary of Czestochowa Church in Cicero, a ten minute drive from Anna's house! Have your cameras ready for the "I do's"!

12:30 p.m. After the ceremony and pictures, all attendees are invited to an after-church luncheon at European Chalet Banquets in Chicago. The bridal party will eat and run, as they will be taking wedding photos in downtown Chicago. The next time everyone will reunite will be at the banquet hall for dinner, drinking, and dancing!

6:30 p.m. Reception at the Crystal Grand in Lemont.
