Wedding Party

Gwendolyn was born in Blacksburg and has lived here her whole life. She spends most of her time laughing, making art, and philosophising. After graduating with her degree in cognitive neuroscience in 2024 she pursued a career combining her two favorite things: art and science.

Noah moved to Blacksburg, VA in December 2011 and was homeschooled through middle and high school. He earned his Eagle Scout and double majored in Computer Science and Physics at Virginia Tech, graduating in 2024. Noah is now a PhD student studying LLM reasoning techniques at VT under Dr. Vu.

Sophie and Gwendolyn are sisters with a fat juicy 7 year age gap, but that hasn't stopped them from bonding over memes, music, and endless conversation.

Delia and Gwendolyn have grown up together over the past 6 years. A huge chunk of their adolescent experience was spent talking about philosophy and building Minecraft houses next to each other. Soon they will both be Provenzanos.

Gwen met the Chapman girls at Noah's high school graduation and they immediately hit it off. Around 2024 Cora and Gwen became close, bonding over anything from memes to geopolitics. Cora is currently attending Lamar University and will graduate with her BS in Environmental Science.

Gwendolyn met Shirin during a summer internship at a science lab while studying at Virginia Tech and they have been friends ever since. Shirin is currently pursuing a PhD in clinical psychology at Binghamton University.

Noah and Elijah met in Cub Scouts when Noah's family moved to Blacksburg. Their families clicked right away. They bonded over Magic: The Gathering and more Boy Scout trips than either can count. They both left their pack to join the same Boy Scout troop, where they pushed each other all the way to Eagle Scout. Elijah helped with the proposal and is now in Alaska for graduate school, studying kelp.

Seth is Noah's brother and longest friend. They grew up together in Blacksburg, homeschooled, danced, and both earned their Eagle Scout along the way. From childhood through every season since, they have been there for each other without question. Seth is currently studying business and cybersecurity at Virginia Tech and plans to become a pilot after graduation.

Noah and Rituraj met at a hackathon at VT and were in the same major. Since then they have participated in many hackathons and projects together, including uncovercardgame.com and InVenture Prize on PBS. They have been roommates and are currently working at the same research lab at VT under Dr. Vu. They play pickleball, poker, and hang out regularly.

Noah and Aanish met at Virginia Tech through multiple computer science classes and hit it off nerding out about data. They competed in a hackathon together and went on a trip through the Monongahela National Forest. Since graduating they have kept up a strong friendship. Aanish now lives in Northern Virginia working as a machine learning engineer for CACI.
