Wedding Party

Virginia Mims

Bride

Virginia lives in Rhineland Palatinate, Germany working as a music teacher at International School Westpfalz and in her own private voice and piano studio. Trained as a classical Opera singer, she enjoys performing Opera as much as being an audience member. Other than music, she enjoys cooking, lifting weights or doing yoga, and hair and beauty. To get her talking, ask about her Bichon Frisé Romeo, her favorite opera, or her latest favorite recipe.

Pascal Pahl

Groom

Pascal is an American Soldier; ever since the inception of the COVID pandemic, he serves as the head audio and lighting engineer for the US Army Europe and Africa Band & Chorus. Military or not, Pascal has always freelanced as a record producer and audio engineer. Traveling is one of Pascal's favorite things to do and he is very grateful to be overseas in Europe with the opportunity to continue his career. Pascal's break from work involves disc golf, talking about finances, and indulging in new business ideas.

Bianca Zero

Maid of Honor

Currently attending Dental School at Indiana University, Bianca met Virginia during their Freshman year of Undergraduate study in Bloomington. Ever since sharing a bag of homemade chocolate-chip cookies, they've been best friends who have become like family. They've been there for each other through some of life's toughest obstacles as well as happy milestones, but through it all, the constant has been their ability to meet up at a restaurant, order everything they could manage to try, and figure it all out together. To get her talking, ask her about anything science and biology, her two gorgeous cats, or her endless embarrassing stories about Virginia.

Sam Carani

Groomsman

Pascal and Sam go wayyy back to elementary school! From being science fair partners to sharing the same newspaper boy route to having a very similar sense of humor, they experienced childhood together; despite being adults and both being engaged, Sam and Pascal never hesitate to revert back to their child-like tendencies when they're together. Sam now works as a data analyst in St. Louis.

Natalie Bosso

Bridesmaid

Next-door neighbors with Virginia since the age of 4 years old, Natalie now works at Florida's Power and Light. Having logged so many years of friendship, Natalie and Virginia share many memories of North Carolina trips, scooters and bike rides, and growing up together. Back when we had to remember people's phone numbers, they had each others' memorized. To get her talking, ask about her cat Stella, her family, and her most recent trip!

Matt Crawford

Groomsman

Matt currently lives in Los Angeles as a full-time music producer. You can listen to a ton of his work on streaming platforms under the name "Theo and the Climb." Matt and Pascal both finished the same Audio Engineering and Sound Production program at Indiana University's Jacobs School of Music. Other than doing the same thing for work, they bond over intense FIFA games and always seize the opportunity to get outside for a real match. Ask Matt about his craziest experience in the recording studio!

Olivia LaBarge

Bridesmaid

In the same voice studio their freshman year at IU, Olivia introduced herself when Virginia most needed a friend. From studying late in the library for listening exams to Singing Hoosier parties, they always knew how to make the most of any given situation. To get her talking, ask her about her year in Hong Kong, her fitness instructor certification, her most recent contract, and the time she and Virginia were nuns together.

Bill Frentzas

Groomsman

Bill and Pascal are Chamberlain Brothers from high school. They share a love for jazz music and improvisation. Bill took the more stable career path and currently works as a Financial Analyst for Humana Military. To get Bill talking, ask him about any of our crazy high school stories.

Remi Lederman

Bridesmaid

Remi and Virginia met during a summer production of The Sound of Music when they were in between 5th and 6th grade. It wasn't long after that they became mutually obsessed with the Twilight series, created infamous Photo Booth videos to TikTok (not the app, but the song by Ke$ha), and got their first gym membership that they hardly used. To get her talking, ask her about her time at The University of Pennsylvania, her obsession with historically great women (I'm talking Eleanor of Aquitane), her new place in Washington DC, or her most recent favorite guilty-pleasure show.

Nate Koonce

Groomsman

Nate and Pascal started a business together called PapNaksProducts in elementary school. To this day they bond over their crazy business ideas! Ask Nate about our Walgreens Project to hear a hysterical alternate to a lemonade stand. Nate loves to freestyle; they both share a great appreciation for music and want to collaborate on a record in the future. Nate currently works as a freelancer in the world of finance.

Haley Lickstein

Bridesmaid

Virginia still remembers how Haley introduced her to the game Chubby Bunny in high school, where you try to fit as many marshmallows in your mouth as possible and still be understood when you say, "Chubby Bunny." In addition to this silly anecdote, Haley and Virginia bonded over their goal-driven and ambitious mindset and...love of shoes! To get her talking, ask Haley about her love for planning themed parties, her latest event she's planning for Meta, or her hot-take on any Taylor Swift album.

Josh Roberts

Groomsman

Josh is the drummer to call in New York. Pascal and Josh have performed together on the jazz stand for multiple gigs and continue to collaborate on various records. They geek-out over the newest tech and dream of having a mutual content studio one day. Josh loves to travel and is always hustling; ask him about what new projects he's working on!

Caroline Pahl

Bridesmaid

Caroline is an Emmy-Award winning journalist in the form of directing and producing documentarian series. As a future Sister-In-Law to Virginia, Caroline loves watching and sharing funny TikToks, cool art, and beating her latest high score in guitar hero. To get her talking, ask her about her sorority at University of Illinois, her favorite pizza place in New York, or her competitive gymnast days.

Terrance Evans

Groomsman

Paulina Pahl

Bridesmaid

Known to some as twins with Pascal (but really is his older sister), Paulina works in the fine-dining industry in Chicago at Ever Restaurant. To get her talking, ask her about her favorite espresso martini in Chicago, Chance the Rapper, and her journey to becoming Captain at a 2-star Michelin restaurant (soon to be 3-star)!

Maddy McCallister

Usher

Maddy has seen Pascal and Virginia's love blossom from the very beginning. She has been there for Pascal since the early College Years. Maddy became fast friends with Virginia while seeing her conquer long distance with Pascal. They've enjoyed vegan meals, camp sites, and enjoying nature as much as they can. Maddy works as a business consultant and lives with cats Frank and Kuzco and dog Winston in Chicago.

Allie Taylor

Bridesmaid

Virginia and Allie met in 6th grade gym class and would harmonize to Taylor Swift's song Forever and Always. Since then, they've shared their love of music and performing and both pursued performance degrees (V at Indiana, A at Michigan). To get her talking, ask her about her new position at the New World Symphony, her time singing and playing with the National Repertory Orchestra in 2021 (with Midori!), and her world-renowned "Good Morning Quarantine".

Rebecca and Sadie Golden

Flower Girl

Virginia remembers meeting Rebecca and Sadie as babies and being sucked into their cute baby blue eyes! They have such unique and fun personalities that can help you tell them apart...otherwise, you might shake your head when you start seeing double!

Rhodes Golden

Ring Bearer

Rhodes bears a special name in honor of a very special lady to Virginia: his late grandmother, Rhoda Daniels. With such a cool name, he was destined to be awesome. Exhibit A: check out his hip fashion sense.
