Marjorie Chelius wrote in with an eventful update: “Exciting news from my world! I married Blake Seymour (Duke ’08) last November in a beautiful park in Memphis, Tennessee, surrounded by our immediate families. Shoutout to Brandon Aiono for joining the pre-wedding bachelorette fun! Blake and I met while getting our M.B.A.s at U Chicago Booth (an instant connection from before orientation!).

“On the professional front, I transitioned out of Mockingbird (baby gear startup) last fall and enjoyed some well-deserved time off. Now I’m diving back into the consumer sector, eager to leverage my 12-plus years of experience in general management, marketing, and strategy. Reconnecting with fellow alumni has been a highlight, including Kelly Hopley at Lego and Molly Schloss at Google (who even recruited me to join her San Francisco women’s soccer team).

We also received news that Yuan Liang joined the intellectual property group of the boutique law firm Ambrose, Mills & Lazarow, PLLC, in Reston, Virginia, as a partner. Congratulations, Yuan!

Chris Bilger wrote in to say that she got married in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (also known as “the California Delta”) and celebrated with 22 other Dartmouth alums. “Very importantly, I got to play volleyball and pong on our wedding day. My husband, Erick, isn’t a Dartmouth alum but has been in a very thorough pong-training program to be ready for the next class reunion. We are still living in Sunnyvale, California, with our 80-pound couch potato Maddie.” Congratulations on your wedding, Chris!
