LOVE AT SECOND SIGHT
When they met, everything unfolded quickly and naturally – as if someone had pressed the “start” button and never looked back. Less than a month in, the idea of moving in together was already on the table, and shortly after began an intense chapter: renovating, changing jobs, relocating, and meeting each other’s loved ones. Today, they’ve said “I do” in an old steelworks and now invite you to celebrate with them – and to turn the page on this special wedding newspaper.
Beloved!
If you’re going to love, do it with all your heart. And if you’re going to get married – let it be with people like you by our side. Your presence makes this day all the more unforgettable. We’re so happy to share our joy with you and to celebrate this special moment together.
Here’s to your health – cheers! May the party go on until dawn and the champagne keep flowing.
LONG LIVE LOVE!
3 years together – filled with adventures, laughter, and late-night conversations that lasted until the early hours
19 shared journeys – from little getaways to grand adventures
23 kilograms of our four-legged friend – a sock thief by trade, a tail-wagging smile machine by heart
7 weddings attended together
– before it was finally time for our very own
1000 and more looks that said “I love you”
– because it’s the little moments that are worth remembering most
And just one, though double, “I do”
– the most important words, spoken today
Beloved Parents, OUR PARENTS THEY SAID “I DO” FIRST
WHAT? WHERE? WHEN?

20:30 – Let’s get this party started!
The music’s playing, the dancefloor’s calling – time to move, shake, and dance those calories away.
00:00 – Cake o’clock
A sweet moment and a toast to follow. But first… a little surprise!

It all began in 1878, when the company Lilpop, Rau & Loewenstein decided to build a modern steelworks on this very site.

KULTURA WYSOKA
2 Szwedzka Street
over a thousand people and covering as much as 80% of the national demand for railway equipment. Industrial life thrived here for a decade, until tariffs on imported raw materials struck the company’s profitability and led to its closure.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the site was taken over by the military. First, the Russian army established artillery workshops here, and after 1918 it became Armoury No. 2 of the Polish Army. It was here that weapon prototypes were developed, cannons repaired, and machine gun parts manufactured. In the interwar period, it was one of the largest military repair fa-
cilities in Poland. Even during the war, the buildings continued to play a vital role – until 1944, when parts of the complex were demolished by the Germans.
As you walk inside, it’s hard not to feel awe in the face of this vast space. Picture a hall so tall it could easily house a two-storey townhouse – and still leave room to spare. It stands nine metres high, and the total area spans nearly 450 square metres. Behind the building lies a green retreat – a garden about half the size of a volleyball court.
It’s also worth taking note of the building’s construction itself. The wooden roof truss spans 15 metres and is self-supporting –
Mostly A answers: THE TABLE WHISPERER
You notice everything and know a lot – always with class. You love a good chat, people -watching, and keeping the conversation flowing. You bring kind words, great company, and your comments are sharp yet kind.
Mostly B answers: DANCEFLOOR QUEEN / KING
You’re the heart of the dancefloor, soul of the party. Dancing is your love language, music – your natural habitat. You don’t need encouragement – you are the encouragement. When you dance, the wedding truly begins.
Mostly C answers: THE WEDDING INTROVERT
You enjoy good company, but just at your own pace. You notice the little things and appreciate the moment. You’re not the star of the dancefloor, but its calm and quiet balance.
Mostly D answers: SHOWMAN / SHOWWOMAN
You’ve got charisma, confidence, and party-starting skills. If something’s happening – chances are, it’s thanks to you. You’re the spark, the energy, the unofficial host of the night.
a true feat of 19thcentury engineering. The interior of the hall is free of columns, which allows the space and light to shine through in full glory. And beneath your feet lies the original parquet flooring, over 120 years old, dating back to the armoury days. Just pause for a moment and touch the floor – you might almost hear the echoes of the past
This is no ordinary wedding venue. It is a silent witness to history, which has observed Warsaw’s transformations for more than a century. Today, it opens its doors to you – so you can add your own, unique chapter to its story.

WHAT ARE THE STARS SAYING ABOUT THIS UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT
CAPRICORN
[22.12 – 19.01]
You start the night calmly, but after a few toasts you loosen up and take control of the fun. You might be crowned the unofficial “host” of this party – after all, who else would know exactly where the champagne glasses are?
ARIES
[21.03 – 19.04]
First on the dancefloor, last one standing at the bar. You’re bound to shout “Oh, that’s my song!” to every third tune. Your energy is wildly infectious – because let’s face it: you’re not just dancing, you’re getting the whole crowd moving.
CANCER
[21.06 – 22.07]
At first, a quiet tear –that’s just the charm of a wedding night. But don’t be fooled: once you hit the dance floor, no one will come close to matching your energy. Tonight’s forecast: heartfelt talk about love around 2:47 a.m. by soft candlelight.
LIBRA
[23.09 – 22.10]
Your heart will be stolen… by the cheesecake. You’ll gravitate right where you belong – near the buffet. Don’t forget, it’s the perfect spot for a chat. You might even strike up a wonderful new friendship while waiting for seconds.
AQUARIUS
[20.01 – 18.02]
A true showstopper – creative, quirky and one of a kind. You have a rare gift for turning any moment into unforgettable fun. The stars say tonight all eyes will be on you when you pull off a surprise none of the guests saw coming.
TAURUS
[20.04 – 20.05]
Best-dressed guest and queen of compliments. You bring elegance, but never forget the fun! You’re the one to spark a round of unforgettable toasts. Just beware of the Bride’s nephew – he might be planning something cheeky!
LEO
[23.07 – 22.08]
Expect applause, camera lights, and at least three compliments on your outfit. Your dancefloor entrance? Pure cinema. You’ll shine all night – but stay alert: a surprise flirt with the bartender… or waiter… might just be in the stars.
SCORPIO
[23.10 – 21.11]
Mysterious and magnetic as ever. When you dance – the world fades away. When you look – people blush unexpectedly. A likely scenario: someone will ask you to dance tonight… and won’t ever want to leave the floor again.
PISCES
[19.02 – 20.03]
You’ll soak up the vibe like a warm bath. You’ll dance a little, cry a little, and lose yourself in a talk with someone who feels like your soulmate. Likely scenario: heading home with one shoe and the feeling that “this was the night of my life.”
GEMINI
[21.05 – 20.06]
One moment you’re dancing with Dad Marek, the next – giving tips to the DJ, then charming the table. You’ll be everywhere, with everyone, always in the spotlight. Your secret power? Never missing the group photo.
VIRGO
[23.08 – 22.09]
Always perfectly prepared. But tonight? You’ll let loose and go with the flow. Dancing? Absolutely. Robert’s dad’s liqueur? Yes, please. Random selfie with the rowers? Naturally. Just watch the bartender – looks like you’re getting doubles.
SAGITTARIUS
[22.11 – 21.12]
You bring lightness, freshness, and jokes that melt even the grumpiest guests. Your motto: “Party like there’s no tomorrow – without spilling a drop.” Tonight’s stars predict a deep talk with the DJ about the meaning of wedding bangers.
