William Paprocki Jr.
The Groom
Bill was born and raised in Connecticut. In high school and college, he studied Classics, Jazz, and the Japanese language. He spent several years living in Japan, and traveling the world before moving to Chicago.
​
He's currently working as a software engineer for a telecom company. His hobbies include table-top gaming, writing, home improvement, and making software in his spare time.
​
His love of geeky interests such as gaming, comic books, and movies are what brought him and Monica together.

Dyan Monica Gonzales
The Bride
Dyan Monica was born and raised in the Philippines and moved to the United States when she turned 21. For the past 12 years, she has lived in Wisconsin, Indiana and finally found her home in Chicago where both she and Bill bought their first house in 2016.
She holds degrees in Psychology and Accounting, and minored in Business Management. She's currently working as an accountant. Monica also runs a website that promotes geek events - a creative escape from her professional career, where she juggles many roles such as editor, blogger, event promoter and organizer, and costume designer.
​
Monica has always known that Bill is her partner - they both love to travel all over and find new adventures and meet new friends. And Bill's never ending support for her to succeed and grow is something she's so grateful to have.

Jason Isolda
I've known Bill for nearly 20 years. In that time I've killed him a few times and made him into a demigod. He's served as my loyal murder gargoyle, and aided me in mafia based hooliganism.
I've seen him go from a smugly superior teetotaling vegetarian overachiever to the degenerate I know (and prefer) today.
Me? I'm a nurse, a gamer, and a burlesque and roller derby MC.
