Adam Zamoyski certainly has a comital title, so I imagine it's the
same family.

GHdA, Gräfliche Häuser B III (1965), S. 401 ff. gives the Zamoyski
line descended from Florian Saryusz, auf Wroników und Wozniki,
Kastellan von Leczyca, who died in 1412.
The family is indeed truly international and interesting. His
collaterals include the princes Lubomirski (Polish), princes Radziwill
(Polish/Lithuanian), princes Czartoryski, princes Potocki (Polish) and
two members of the Bourbon Two Sicilies family!

For the happy fiance's father, I checked his name:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Micha%C5%82_Zdzis%C5%82aw_Zamoyski
Michal Zdislaw (1679–1735) was the 6th Ordynat or head of the family.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zdzis%C5%82aw_Zamoyski
Count Zdzisław Zamoyski (1810–1855) was father of one son Stefan and
three daughters.
This son Stefan was father of Count Władysław Zdzisław Zamoyski (1873–
1944)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C5%82adys%C5%82aw_Zdzis%C5%82aw_Zamoyski
Count Władysław Zdzisław Zamoyski (1873–1944) married Maria Mężyńska,
and had issue 3 sons and 1 dau:
1. Elżbieta Zamoyska
2. Stefan Adam Zamoyski -> Adam (b. 1949) the historian
3. Andrzej Zygmunt Zamoyski
4. Zdzisław Franciszek Zamoyski
I'm not sure where the father of the fiance fits in, but he might be
the son of no. 3 or no. 4/
BTW, the head of the family was Jan Zamoyski (1912-2002), the 16th
Ordynat, a son of Count Maurycy Klemens Zamoyski (1871–1939) who was
Polish Foreign Minister in 1924
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maurycy_Klemens_Zamoyski
The late Jan Zamoyski (d 2002) had one son Marcin (b. 1947) and four
daughters with Róża Źółtowska.
