On June 18-21 Miami University will welcome back all of its alumni for the 2009 alumni weekend. This way they are able to celebrate together Miami’s 200th birthday!
Events for the day include group reunions, a “mini” pep rally around the seal, parade party and then Miami Fest. During Miami Fest alumni will gather for dinner, live music and even a kid zone for future Miamians.
This year an additional highlight will be an attempt to break the Guinness World Record for most couples simultaneously renewing their wedding vows. Miami Mergers are Miamians marrying other Miamians. Each February the alumni association sends Valentine’s cards to all merger couples in their database which includes over 26, 000. Their plan is to gather for a group photo, countdown to a kiss and then renew their vowels simultaneously. The current record was set for 624 couples in Pittsburgh, PA in 2008.
