Wedding Party

Matthew Gentile

Man of Honor

Robin and I first met during a very hungover brunch our sophomore year of college and quickly hit it off. Somehow hanging out during study sessions (mostly eating snacks), roaming the Scranton Hill Section, and navigating the crowded dance floor of Cockeyed's morphed into almost 8 years of friendship, lots of cross country flights, and even haggling with tequila for blankets in Mexico. My friendship with Robin has been nothing less than thrilling and unpredictable. Even though much of our friendship is spent making jokes at the others expense, Robin is someone I can always count on to be there for me through thick and thin. I'm thankful that one hungover brunch led me to a lifelong friend.

How could I shorten all of our shenanigans to a paragraph? Being young & innocent in El-em-en-tary School, making music videos to Hilary Duff in Middle School, & getting away with murder in High School. I will forever love the days of chilling in Finchy's office, walking in the halls without passes thinking we were BA, & sneaking food from our gym locker. We will always argue about who was drunk the 1st time I drank (which was you!) You're always the one to pull me out of my shell and bring out my wild side! I can't believe the amazing adventurous person you've become and the things you eat now, some people wouldn't believe how picky you were! Living on opposite sides of the school district prepped us for a friendship where distance will never be a factor and I am forever grateful for that

When I first met Robin, I immediately found her to be one of the most stubborn and obstinate people I had ever met. At the time, I couldn't have imagined the amount of positives needed to outweigh that negative. Unsurprisingly, she quickly became one of my closest friends. That was nearly 14 years ago, and neither of those things have changed. She has remained a trusted confidant and I find myself continuously proud of all she has achieved.

Robin and I met in graduate school for biomedical engineering. We were both quite intimidated by each other when we first met, but we soon became inseparable. Robin was my husband, Harrison, and my permanent third wheel during her time in Tucson. We love her very much! We are so happy for her and Tig and suppose we will let Tigran be the 4th wheel.

Robin and I met senior year of college, in the spring of 2014. Surprisingly enough, four years at the same college didn't bring us together, but instead, part-time jobs at the local Olive Garden did. To my surprise, Robin invited me to her birthday celebration, and the rest is pretty much history. We spent the next three months basically inseparable, creating a foundation for what would ultimately be a cross-country friendship. Despite the distance, Robin has remained one of my best friends, one of the only people I know who is as nerdy AND wild as I. Truly my soul sister.

I was visiting Tigran at UofA for the first time during my spring break. He had told me about this girl he was sort of seeing and how we were going to get dinner and go for a hike with her the next day. As we were walking down the street, we happened to bump into this girl with braces and a cast on her arm. After the exchange we walked away and Tig was like "that was her!" I proceeded to ask him why his girlfriend still had braces. He told me the story of Robin's bike accident and told how he really had feelings for her. I knew by the way he spoke about her that she was his special someone.

I met Robin 28 years ago. I turned 29 last week, just to give you perspective. Robin and I started out as inseparable (so the story goes) and we've still continued on similar journeys. I appreciate her intelligence and drive to always become a better version of herself.

Robin is the sister I have knocked heads with the most. I realized over the years that the reason we tend to is because we are very alike. We always have so much fun together but the second one of us thinks they are right we both dig out some data to prove in fact that we're right and the other is wrong. It was no surprise to me the path Robin chose in life, we share the same nerd gene and drive to understand things and build things. I am so honored to be Robin's sister and couldn't be happier to have Tigran as a brother.

My relationship with Tig came about like the big bang. At first I was a singularity, then suddenly an everlasting, ever expanding friendship. One that has covered long distances, had many marvels, countless bright spots & even dark times. Tigran and I met nearly 2 decades ago and has since been a true brother to me. I’m grateful for Tigran’s ridiculous humor, and playful company. Despite us knowing each other for so long, I heard that it’s not about who you’ve known the longest, but who came and never left. From grade school to professional school, from CA to the West Indies, few things have been constant in my life. Our friendship has certainly been one, and one that I’ve relied heavily on. Simply put it’s one of those things that if you never had, you don’t know where you’d be.

"Tigran and I first met on the soccer field and have been great friends ever since. We have shared plenty of time together in “adulthood” but we always seem to bring out the teenage versions of ourselves. Whether we are out having dinner, at the bar we have become “regulars” at, or hanging around family and friends we never seem to have a dull moment. I have also had the pleasure of seeing Robin and Tigran grow closer. Robin loves cooking, she’s an awesome cook, and always invited me over for dinners which I thoroughly enjoyed. At one point Robin named our group text as the “Thruple,” because I was always over at their place. I’m so happy for the two of them as they embark on their next journey together."

"My most vivid memories of Tigran are of him zooming. Usually he was zooming down the wing of a soccer field, but at other times the zooming was down a hill, on an object with wheels, and a completely out of control test dummy Tigran. We all deal with discomfort, Tigran thrives in it. At times he leans into discomfort for self deprecating comedy that makes us all smile. Other times he defies discomfort to deliver the stern message no one was willing to admit. I appreciate this very much about him. Luckily he and I have invented a psuedo-language, so we have a long future of conversing ahead."

I can’t even remember when I met Tigran anymore, but I doubt that 10 or 11 year old me knew at the time that I had met a friend for life. Honestly, It’s hard to decide what to write about, because I can go back almost as far as I can remember. From the early days I remember the Little Caesars pizza and PlayStation hangouts coupled with shooting spitballs at each other in the car on the way to a San Jose sabercats game and getting denied autographs by their cheerleaders, to the unforgettable years at UC Davis where we also ran around like maniacs (and studied of course). Tigran made all of these experiences immeasurably better, and I couldn’t imagine it going any other way. Throughout all of this, I’m honored to have gained a brother, and I really can’t wait to see what the next steps hold.

We briefly knew each other in high school, then met once again through mutual friends after college. From there we found out that we had so much in common that we developed a great friendship over the past few years. People even mistake us for one another! I have also taught Tigran everything he knows about the Oakland athletics and actually probably baseball in general. Some are best memories include going to A's games together, which we have season tickets for.

"I met Tigran in my first year of college when we were just a bunch of lowly 18 year olds. Tigran and I instantly hit it off, we were both really loud and enjoyed joking around, giving and taking each other’s nonsense. Furthermore, we were both big sports fans (GO SHARKS!). We had a lot of great times in college whether it was the daily hangouts, fraternity events, or events like Picnic Day. In Arizona he met Robin and I could instantly tell just how amazing she is. If you can put up with Tigran and our friends’ nonsense, you must be a very patient person with a great sense of humor. We all had a wonderful time together in Tucson, causing a raucous. A lot of events which are better discussed than forever bound in text. I am overjoyed that he found someone who makes him so happy."

"Ever since meeting Tigran the first week of freshman year I knew I would have a friend for life. Whether it was playing halo in his dorm room, or making new friends in the crazy new world that was college, Tigran was always a great friend to have and someone I know will always have my back. I am very happy to see how successful he has been and will continue to be in the future. I remember the first time I met Robin in the desert and realizing how perfect she was for Tig, not only did she clearly bring out the best in him, she was not even annoyed at all of his silly college friends and their antics... she even joined in on some. If that's not true love then I don't know what is."

Bo Bliss

Groomsman

Tigran and Bo met at orientation going into their freshman year at UC Davis and quickly became fast friends (redundant but needs emphasis). They shared countless great memories throughout college and formed an even tighter bond after willingly sharing a room in the fraternity house for a full year. In fact, it's really because of Bo that Tigran joined the fraternity to begin with, a decision that has positively changed their lives for the better and forever. Having stayed in close contact after leaving Davis, Bo considers Tigran a brother and truly admires his authenticity and infectious sense of humor.
