That is what I did with my surname of Bubacz. This can be helpful if the surname is relatively rare. Since the name Bubacz was most highly concentrated in the Poznan area, I went to the Poznan Marriage Project to search for a marriage record. I knew the names and date of birth of the bride and groom as well as the names of their parents, so if they were from the Poznan area, it would be easy to find the right record. I lucked out after searching for years in the USA to find some record to get me across the ocean to Poland. None of the ship's records, or naturalization records told what area they were from other than Prussian Poland.
In your case, your bride and groom were born after the time period covered by the Poznan Marriage Project, but I searched for the name Aleksiewicz/Alexsiewicz to see what parishes in Poznan had people with this last name.

I found Regina Dąmbek by her married name of Regina Aleksiewicz in the Social Security Death index. The index is free. For a fee, you may apply for a copy of her original application filled out in her own handwriting. The application usually lists the names of her parents. Once you know her parent's names, you may find the above information on the Poznan Marriage Project of more value to you. :-)
