Neal Willetts (Educ ’06) married Elijah Akers in a late afternoon ceremony at Ford’s Colony Country Club in Williamsburg, Virginia on June 26th, 2024. Katie Morgans (Col ’07) did one of the readings, and numerous UVA friends were in attendance. Surrounded by over 100 family, friends, and co-workers the couple celebrated in true ’Hoo style and kept the party going until late in the evening at a local bar after the reception. Akers is a veteran of the U.S. Navy, and the couple are about to move to Columbus, Ohio where he works in the IT industry and Willets works as a project manager for a small software company.
