Bobbie works at the University of Pittsburgh as a Project Coordinator on a longitudinal randomized control trial, aimed at testing the efficacy of a home-based family intervention called the Family Check Up. Bobbie plans to attend a Counseling Psychology PhD Program this Fall with the intent to become an activist-scholar-practitioner! She hopes to study multi-marginalized queer communities and improve the wellbeing of underserved communities. In her ~limited~ free time, Bobbie cat sits, gardens, and sings in a queer choir in Pittsburgh.

Ian works as a Software Engineer for Dublin, OH-based G2O, focusing on making accessible websites for the State of Ohio. Ian, like Bobbie, graduated from Miami University and received his degree in computer science. During his time at Miami, he discovered a passion for creating ADA-compliant and user-friendly websites. Outside of his professional life, Ian enjoys playing videogames and tabletop games with his friends - especially World of Warcraft and Dungeons & Dragons. Ian is always looking for new games and loves introducing others to gaming as well.

Nick is Bobbie's sibling and often, her shadow. Nick and Bobbie spent their childhood arguing but became increasingly close in their teen years. They now stay in near-constant contact with a bond hard to explain. If you spend any time with the pair, you are likely to get lost as they joke back-and-forth in that way that only siblings do. Nick studied Video Game Design at Bobbie & Ian's alma mater and now works part-time as a barista while taking care of his kitty, Tamago, in Bellevue, Ohio. In his free time, he enjoys gaming, learning about paleontology, and music - performance, composition, and listening.

Tyler and Ian met their senior year of high school when Tyler was invited to a game night with Ian and some mutual friends. They quickly became close friends and joined their mutual friend group in late night gaming sessions and 2am trips to Steak and Shake. The two even took a 13 hour road trip to visit a friend who lived in Canada for a week. Tyler is a diesel mechanic who works on heavy equipment and trailers during the day, and goes home to watch football and play video games with his wife Tiffany and friends. Tyler and his wife live in Orient, OH with their two cats Buddy and Olaf.

Mady and Bobbie met days after arriving on Miami University's campus in 2017. They bonded over being a bit too obsessed with boys (thank goodness they grew out of that!) and always getting into chaos around their dorm and across Oxford. Fun fact: Mady and Bobbie have the same birthday, born 365 days apart! Mady currently attends NYU in New York City and will finish up her Doctorate in French over the next year. She's soon-to-be Dr. Neal! Her research focuses primarily on gender, temporality, the body, the voice, the Other, the production of sensation and the senses, and space, as well as all the societal frameworks that limit and define them.

Avry and Ian met in 8th grade health class when the two were paired together for a project. They quickly bonded over their love of videogames, and have been close friends ever since. They spent the rest of middle and high school going to each other's houses with their mutual friends, gaming late into the night, and going to Steak and Shake at 2am. In 2016, Avry enlisted in the United States Army, and served 4 years in Kuwait, and later Alabama. After finishing his service, Avry rejoined civilian life and put the skills he learned in the Army to use in Human Resources and Managerial roles. He currently lives in Columbus, OH with his childhood friend (and fellow groomsman) Garrin Bachinksi.

Bobbie and Becca met at Miami University initially just for Becca to sell Bobbie a Statistics Book. The following semester, however, Becca began working at King Cafe with Bobbie and became known as "Becca Breen the Cafe Queen". The pair became closer over the next few semesters and then moved in together their Junior and Senior years. Bobbie and Becca had many late nights watching shows, panicking about school, and playing with their roommate's cat, Mandrake. Today, Becca lives in Perrysburg, OH with her fiancé, Adam, and pup, Stanley. She graduated with her Master's degree in Speech Language Pathology and currently practices as an SLP at Promedia in Fostoria.

Garrin and Ian met when Avry invited the two over to his house not too long after Ian and Avry became friends. The two bonded over gaming, and from then on Garrin joined in on the fun whenever he could, despite not attending the same high school as the others. Garrin attended Wittenberg University, earning a BS in Biology as well as an MA in Athletic Coaching. He then attended Grant Medical Center to become an EMT, and currently works for Medcare Ambulance. He also plans to complete additional certifications and classes to become a paramedic. Garrin currently lives in Columbus, OH with his childhood friend Avry, his fiance Kenzie and their cat Frenchie.

Rozie is actually one of Nick's best friends from middle/high school. However, as Nick and Rozie got closer, so did Bobbie and Rozie. After only a few years, Rozie felt like another sibling to Bobbie. They, like Bobbie and Nick, were in most of the same extracurriculars - both inside and outside of their school (AOSFYC & IORG). Today, Rozie lives in Bowling Green with her 2 cats, Stevie and Stink. She's currently an event specialist in Toledo, OH and looks forward to learning more about the event planning industry in the future. Rozie also has an interest in Sports Psychology and looks forward to exploring that field in the future.

Lexi and Bobbie have known each other since early elementary school, but only became close at the tail-end of jr high. The pair traveled to Mexico for their senior class trip and even randomly connected while both in Washington DC for college trips! They love cheering, singing, and laughing with each other. Today, Lexi lives in Fredericktown, OH with her husband, Tyler (who has the same birthday as Ian), her son, Maddux, her daughter Teagan, and orange kitty, Obie. She currently works remotely as an independent contractor and is attending Liberty University, finishing up her Associate's degree in Business. Lexi and her husband will be welcoming a baby girl to their family in August 2025!

Meet Willow, Bobbie & Ian's adopted "child". The pair adopted Willow in September of 2021 and she quickly had their hearts. Known for laying on her back and begging for treats, the 10-year-old spends her days sleeping, eating, and yelling at the couple. While she will not attend the wedding, you will see her presence. Willow lost her eye in October 2022 to an infection, but luckily she's a silly goofy orange girl and barely noticed the loss. In August 2024, Willow was diagnosed with small cell lymphoma of the digestive tract but is currently happy and healthy(ish) while completing chemotherapy.
