Please translate marriage akt 1 completely: groom's full name, age, birthplace/residence and both parents; bride's full name, age, birthplace/residence and both parents; witnesses with ages; officiant; banns; exact civil-record and marriage dates/places. The groom's given name and both sets of parents are decisive. JRI-Poland indexes groom as "Icka Maysis WOLRAYEK" and bride as "Chawa WASUNGARZ"; please sanity-check those readings.
