Riley Vann, J.D.

She graduated with honors, with a wonderful husband, and with a job. Cf. poor Warner.

As promised!!! More pics than words because that’s what everyone really wants, right?! 🥳

PRE-GRAD ACTIVITIES

BOAT CRUISE

A great night with my best law school friends! Ben made it back from training just in time to attend.

TREEHOUSE BREWERY

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again…Treehouse is the best brewery on the east coast. Possibly in America. Grabbed a few brewskis with my parents and our Air Force friend John!

2022 CLASS DAY

Showed the bros around the Harvard campus & did a bit of family mingling. A nice little event overall.

GRADUATION

MORNING EXERCISES

This was pure chaos. Very historical and cool and all, but…chaos. This is when the President of HLS officially conferred the Juris Doctor degree on my class!

LAW SCHOOL CEREMONY

More chaos, but this time with a degree 🥰 Shoutout to Stoked Pizza and High Noon, the perfect grad ceremony combo.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

I don’t know if you guys know this, but law school is pretty freaking hard. There were great times for sure, but there were a lot of not-so-great times as well. The people in these photos - my family, friends, and cherished law school acquaintances - got me through.

POST-GRAD CELEBRATIONS

VANN FAM BBQ

Obviously had to go out with a Legally Blonde bang.

MISCELLANEOUS POST-GRAD FUN

The weeks after graduation: two weddings, a set of pilot wings, and a (study-filled) week in the Florida Keys. Blessed doesn’t even begin to cover it 💖

Which brings us to June 19, 2022 (Happy Father’s Day!) and the official wrap on Legally Blonde AF. Whether you’ve been here for three years, one week, or stumbled across me long after this post, thank you for reading. I started it for so many reasons (if you’re interested, they’re here) and in hindsight, just hope LBAF brought some joy and maybe some calm…created a sense of normalcy during the pandemic, sparked a few conversations, and occasionally provided interesting insights or perspectives. In other words, all the things it’s done for me ❤️ Please stay in touch - my LBAF email isn’t going anywhere!
