Mary Washington bonds often live long past graduation. On October 4, Luan Cao married Jordan Brothers, daughter of Jo Anne Vipperman Brothers ’79. The bridal party included Brianna Lehnert ’12, Mark Placious, and Sam Jordan. Cupcakes at the wedding were made by Katy Peterson, assisted by Deidre Ryan. Other graduates in attendance included Windsor Easley ’79 (Jo Anne’s college roommate), Stephen Schroeder, Elyse Rioux, Rachel Frederick, Ellen Beste, and Lundy Baker Updike ’76 (mother of two more UMW students – Jim Updike ’13 and Tom Updike ’17). Out of the entire guest list, one-eighth of the attendees were Mary Washington alumni!
