Diane Gómez shared this: "Who would have ever thought I could be so impulsive? Well, when you know you know! After meeting at work and going out on four dates in two short weeks, John Thinnes proposed to me on Cinco de Mayo 2006 in Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love. We married the next day. A larger Catholic ceremony and celebration ensued on Feb. 23 in Miami Beach. And what are you sure to find at a Kellogg alum's wedding? You guessed it — a lot of other Kellogg alumni, especially in the winter for an event in Miami! Those in attendance included Belinda Roth (Marcus), Doug Stein '04, Juanita Haron, Jenny Liang Milward; Ian Milward '02, Sue Lee Sabow, Adam Sabow '04, Nancy Rosen, Jeanne Markland (Lukacek), Greg Lief, Claudine Coto, and Raína Maldonado '04. The wedding and celebration were 'an amazingly great time' as one attendee stated. Another commented, 'that was the most beautiful ceremony I have ever seen' — presumably because the bride and groom dropped their jitters by committing to a lifetime together nine months earlier. We would like to say gracias to all the wonderful alumni that made the trip to sunny South Florida."

Diane and John both work for Cordis Corp., of Johnson & Johnson, where Diane was recently promoted to senior product director in the global strategic marketing group. John is a senior engineer in new product development. Both will soon be leaving Miami and relocating to New Jersey for work.

Diana Matthews recently was accepted into the Broad Residency Program, a management development program that places talented early career executives into full-time paid positions at top levels of urban school systems.
