Abigail and Rian Silvestri

Rian and Abigail Silvestri
How did you meet?
We met in the Auburn University marching band! I played piccolo and Rian played sousaphone. We met the day of the Georgia game in 2018, when Rian took the last empty seat on the bus—next to me. 

What is your favorite class or organization you were part of while at Auburn?
The AUMB was both our favorite. There’s no feeling in the world like the pregame jog on Pat Dye field for a sold out game. 

Where are you now? Tell us about your engineering journey after graduation!
We’ve been in the Huntsville area since graduating in 2019. Rian is a production engineer at Toyota, and I am an automation engineer at Lockheed Martin. We were married in 2022 and are excited to welcome our first child (a baby girl!!) this July! 

What is your favorite Auburn tradition?
Aside from all things AUMB, my favorite is Toomer’s lemonade and Rian’s when the eagle flies before pregame.
