Our Wedding

While enjoying a night of music watching a mutual friend's band at a local establishment in Bloomington, IN, Diana and Gunnar locked eyes and quickly recognized each other from classes on campus. Diana's determination and charm swept Gunnar's shy personality off his feet (mostly on the dance floor) and their relationship took off. Many late nights studying together at the Indiana Memorial Union and many exams later, Diana and Gunnar obtained their docorate degrees and moved to Akron, Ohio to begin their careers (well, Diana is starting her career, while Gunnar has 5 more years of training). This was not before a special trip to Fort Lauderdate, Florida in May 2014.While out for a romantic wine and cheese meal on the evening beach, Diana was surprised when Gunnar layed out the towel for the picnic with the words "Will you Marry Me?" skillfully painted onto the towel. After suffering through Gunnar's tearful attempt at a proposal speech and wondering what to make of a spray painted towel, Diana enthusiastically said "YES" to spending the rest of her life with this lucky gentleman.

Our Story

Details

Brother of the GroomAs the little brother in the family, Christian had his older brother to help and guide him through the beginning years (although he will deny this). Christian and I became very close when college began and have remained a tight duo. As the hipster days rolled around, Christian got the call from hipster headquarters in Seattle and moved out to join his long-time girlfriend, Rachel. He is currently a successful web graphic designer in Seattle and continues his pursuit for musical artists unknown to main society.

Friend of the GroomKnowing Kyle for 14+ years, we have shared many great times together both here in the U.S. and in Aussieland for 5 months. Although he tries to act tough, he knows he is the soft one of the group and you can often find him asleep with a body pillow in his papasan chair. After becoming Dr. Walters, Kyle and his lovely wife Dr. Jessie Walters moved to Delaware to live the All-American dream. When you see Kyle at the wedding, offer to take a shot of tequilla with him, he can't resist.

Friend of the GroomWhere to begin with Dan. I have known Dan since elementary school and we have been through everything together. He has always been the wild one of the group and is known for his ability to fall asleep in any position, at any moment, and after any amount of caffeine. Dan went through his years of video games, chips, and monkey bread during his undergraduate years.  After becoming Lt. Dan Fer with the Air Force, he also learned that he will become a surgeon at UCSF for the next 5 years. Dan is very hopeful that Tinder will lift the limit on number of swipes by the time he reaches the San Francisco area.

Friend of the GroomVinny, or Vin Jams, or his new alias in Arizona "Vince" has been a friend for many many years. Most of our times together have involved comparing weight lifting accomplishments or speaking about various wrestling matches he thinks he has won in the past. Often comparing himself to a pirate, Vinny took his passion for the outdoors and adventures to Arizona for a general surgery residency with his wife Dr. Joanna Gemma. When not working in the hospital, Vinny likes to dominate the ice in Wayne Gretzky's 3D hockey.

Friend of the GroomAfter meeting Pat for the first time in elementary school, I introduced him to American society, where he quickly adopted his personality and social skills. He is the creative one of the group and takes pride in his ability to create unique sandwiches with lots of toppings. Pat became Dr. Chen and is currently in residency in Dayton, OH. Pat is known for his frugalness and claims he can live two weeks off of a $23 dollar Aldis grocery store trip, but we all know this is supplemented by some mooching of food from those around him.

Friend of the GroomAs one of the other taller friends in our group, Chris and I have found ourselves having to grab various items off the top shelf for the others, earning the name "top shelf brothers". After living together for 2 years, we have established a few things: Chris is the best dressed guy of the group; His long legs really carry him on the dance floor; and he lives and breathes for cheese. After becoming Dr. Mosher, Chris is in residency in Indianapolis and continues to impress his cheese loving girlfriend, Dr. Oberle, with his charming personality and jokes. 

Christopher Mosher

Friend of the GroomBen has been a friend for many years and we have shared many times together, both on and off of the soccer field. Ben and I were roommates during college at Indiana University, where I introduced him to a wilder side of life. Being the traveler of the group, Ben enjoyed his internship abroad and moved out to Los Angeles soon after to work with Red Bull. Living on the beach, Ben claims that is working hard out in L.A., but we all know he is kicking back with some Red Bull Vodkas playing Keith Urban songs on his guitar. As a midwest boy at heart, we all know he will be back soon and return to his cowboy ways.

Nikola Prljevic

Friend of the GroomEric has been a friend for many years and has hosted several "social gatherings" at his dad's place during the early years. Known for his jokes, Eric continues to surprise all of us with his ability to take any situation and turn it into a joke (whether the joke makes sense is another story). After obtaining triple degrees from Indiana University, Eric made his way out to Denver for a life of snowboarding and rock climbing (as well as a job).

Eliot Izynski

Friend of the GroomFirst meeting Chris in high school, we quickly became friends on the soccer field. Known for his tall tales, none of us really know what his real job in Chicago is or what it entails. Chris also enjoys wearing skinny jeans while modeling with his swooping hair and good looks. As a close friend, Chris and I have shared many great times together from rounds of golf to New Year's Eve parties in the Windy City.
