She is the daughter of Halina I. Wiercinska-Golab and Maciej Golab of Warsaw. The bride’s father is a professor and the director of the musicology department at the University of Wroclaw in Poland. Her mother retired as a librarian at the main library at the University of Warsaw.
Mr. Shipley, 28, is studying for a doctoral degree in biophysics at Harvard and conducts research on how cerebrospinal fluid composition changes over the course of neural development, and in the context of disease. He graduated from Amherst College.
