Gabe (32) earned his doctorate in saxophone performance from the University of Illinois in 2021 and is the assistant professor of saxophone at Baldwin Wallace University. He loves making electronic music, playing video games, and exploring "maker" hobbies like 3D printing, woodworking, and metalworking.

Lauren (35) earned her doctorate in communication from Penn State in 2017 and is a senior content specialist at Fahlgren Mortine in Cleveland and has been a part-time cashier at Sheetz for the last five years. She adores all things cat-related and crafting (currently on watercolor painting).

Drs. Siegfried and Piqué became fast friends when they were assigned as roommates on tour for The Moanin' Frogs, their saxophone sextet. The two have shared many adventures, including a late-night, impromptu busking session at an Ohio City bar. Dr. Siegfried is the assistant professor of saxophone at West Virginia University in Morgantown, and, among his many talents, is a member of a gospel choir in Pittsburgh, PA.

Lauren has never lived a day on Earth without Lindgren in her life. Born six weeks before Lauren, Lindgren was Lauren's neighbor and near-sister for all of their childhood. Very few people are lucky enough to boast a friendship that has lasted 35 years, but Lauren is! Lindgren is on the events team at the Cleveland Clinic's Philanthropy Institute and earned her Master of Nonprofit Leadership in 2022. She lives in Cleveland with her feline companion, Jasper.

Greg and Gabe have been friends since they met in middle school. The two got into many hijinks over the years, including chemically melting a cup to Gabe's parents' driveway and forming at least three, very bad bands (though Greg claims they were good). Greg is an electrical engineer and lives in Georgia with his canine companions, Abel and Luna.

When Lindgren left for a trip to Scandinavia in summer 2011, her two, separate best friends were bored out of their minds. Lauren's mom suggested Lauren and Amy hang out together. They've been inseparable ever since! Amy is a co-owner of her family business, Pioneer Trails Tree Farm, in Poland, Ohio, where she lives with her kitten, Chili, and she holds a Master of Accounting degree from OSU.

The future Drs. Quarles and Piqué met as attendees of the University of Georgia's saxophone camp when they were in eighth grade, grew closer as UGA freshmen, and stayed good friends even when they attended different graduate schools. Gabe was a groomsman in Brandon's wedding last year. Dr. Quarles is professor of saxophone at UGA, where he lives with wife, Seaton, and kitty, Lupin.

Another "sister from another mister"! Completing the Oak Drive Trio, Sara was born six weeks after Lauren, and her parents lived across the street from Lauren's and Lindgren's. The three were together constantly as children. Sara is a clinical project manager at SPR Therapeutics and lives in Ohio with her husband Mike and their canine companions, Wren and Boba.

Five-year-old Zowie (said "Zoey") can't be trusted to be on her best behavior at the wedding. But be on the lookout for some special photos of her with her momma and papá once we have our official wedding photographs!

Xavier met Edelma in Mexico, and they chose to return to the U.S. together. After dating for a few years, the two were married. They love their sons, Daniel and Gabriel, and love staying physically fit and are active in their local gym.

Annette and Dave were Chaney High School sweethearts, continued dating through Dave's accounting degree at Youngstown State University, and were married in Youngstown in 1978. Annette loves volunteering, and Dave's an avid golfer. Lauren is their only child.

Their mom calls Gabe (doctor of music performance) the doctor of her soul and Daniel the doctor of her heart. Daniel earned his medical and research doctorates from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in 2020. He helps diagnose and manage patients living with rare genetic conditions and also teaches students about genetics online. He works in California and enjoys traveling and hiking.

Ali and Lauren are two years apart in age and (along with their cousin Jimmy, Ali's brother Zack, and their cousins Maria and Tommy) grew up nearly as siblings. They have experienced almost every milestone together, including Lauren's role as bridesmaid in Ali's wedding. Allison holds an MBA and is a QA specialist with the Mahoning County Juvenile Court. She lives in Canfield, OH, with her husband Jake.
