Andrew & Jaime
Wedding Party
Sabrina DelMonaco
Maid of Honor
Sabrina met Jaime on the very first day of high school. Their friendship remains one of the most meaningful connections in her life. She is proud to be Jaime’s Maid of Honor and overjoyed that Jaime's found her forever person in Andrew.
Darius Iraj
Best Man
Drew and I met when I moved to Boston to work with him at the Boston University Catholic Center. After many chats over coffee in the morning, some brews at night, and lots of prayer time together, Drew has become one of my closest friends and biggest role models.
Abby Faria
Bridesmaid
Abby also had the fortune of getting to meet Drew at BU. Just kidding, they met when their parents first brought her home from the hospital. Later on, she had the pleasure of getting to know Jaime. She is very excited to celebrate the couple and their big day
John Faria
Groomsman
John finds it strange to be writing about himself in the third person as part of a wedding party bio. He’s Drew’s younger brother and video game partner.
Kristiana "Tia" Valenti
Bridesmaid
Tia stood proudly next to Jaime in 2002 as the only other girl in their dance class with white tap shoes, and has stood proudly by her side every day since. She is thrilled and honored to stand next to Jaime as she ties the knot twenty years later! Throughout their cringeworthy tween years, Jaime and Tia signed off communication with one another by saying LYLAS - "love you like a sister." Despite many impassioned Disney Monopoly matches and a shared enjoyment of poking fun at each other's mutual proclivity towards Sagittarius insanity over the years, the sentiment still stands! Congratulations, Draime!
Stephen Johnson
Groomsman
Stephen met Drew throught the BU Catholic Center. Drew took Stephen under his wing through discipleship and acted as his older brother in the faith. They also enjoyed many nights in Allston chilling on Drew’s front porch.
Emily Cross
Bridesmaid
Emily Cross is honored to debut in her role as bridesmaid in Jaime and Drew’s upcoming wedding! She has been preparing for this role since St. Augustine’s and would like to thank Kaleidoscope, pool parties, and photo shoots for bringing them closer together. Cheers to the happy couple!
Michael Stewart
Groomsman
Much to his misfortune, Drew and I met sophomore year of college. We were both incredibly goofy 19 year old kids navigating the big city. For this reason among others we instantly clicked, became good friends, and roommates over the next two years. From a dozen noise complaints junior year to 75 hours of court mandated community service by the time we were seniors, it’s a wonder the guy still thinks highly enough of me to ask me to be by his side as he takes life’s greatest plunge.
Emma Parkinson
Bridesmaid
Emma befriended Jaime on a Virginia farm their freshman year of college. Since that week of running away from goats and feeding chickens, they’ve been many places together (from Canada to Jaime’s first time at Lake Michigan) and seen many things (be sure to ask about the time Jaime almost got Emma with a nail gun) and shared many obsessions (Penny and Sparrow, anyone? Keep your ears open at the reception). Emma is honored and thrilled to stand with Jaime as she starts this next chapter of her life!
Max Reich
Groomsman
I met Drew through a Facebook roommates page before starting my first semester at BU - we bonded over music, but I thought he was the worst kinda of frat boy. I couldn’t have been more wrong about him as after 6 years. I got to know not only one of my best friends, but also one of the best influences in my young adult life. He is one of the few people that I can say I shared my entire college experience. Aside from all the shenanigans, I got the privilege to see this doofy north shore Star Wars/band nerd grow into the loving and charismatic friend/sibling he is today. Look forward to meeting everyone and please do ask me for embarrassing drew stories because I have A TON of those.
Hailey Branchford
Bridesmaid
Hailey has had the honor of knowing and loving the bride since Jaime made an emoji-based pun in 2015, cementing their friendship of bad jokes and nerdy pursuits. Hailey will probably be easy to spot in the bridesmaid lineup as she’s voted most likely to cry throughout the entire ceremony. She is blessed beyond measure to stand with Jaime on her wedding day and always.
Blake Wilson
Groomsman
Drew and I met in a very unfortunate circumstance in college. I was riding my bike on Commonwealth Avenue and I was involved in a hit and run. Drew happened to be walking nearby and rushed to my aid and called 911. He stayed with me on the way to the hospital and made sure that I was okay. I bought him dinner to thank him for his kindness and we've been friends ever since.
