Christelle & Jesse
Wedding Party
Garret
Best Man
"I met Jesse in 5th grade when I saw him and Alex run past me on the play ground. I was a very shy kid but I worked up the courage to ask if I could play too. They were pretending to be Squall from final fantasy and Hank the Cowdog, fighting evil. They happily let me join their team as Eragon and We played that game every day until 8th grade. That one decision on the play ground in 5th grade led to a lifelong friendship with Jesse that has been one of the most best and most fulfilling relationships of my life."

"The best way to describe Christelle and I meeting for the first time is rather simple: Two lost French girls on a bus in Austin, TX. Life is made of random encounters, some of which can turn into the meeting of a lifetime - and I believe that is the case for us. I will keep some of our most memorable times together for the wedding… Get ready to cry! And yes, Jesse, you know I am coming for you 😊"

“Jesse is easily one of my best and oldest friends. We’ve known each other since middle school and are still good friends to this day. Through the good, the bad, and the weird we’ve always been bros. Though we may be far apart these days nothing has changed. I know this day means so much to him and I hope you and Christelle have a happy life together. Love you man.”

“Christelle and I met during our first week of optometry school and instantly bonded over our seemingly parallel lives growing up and same sense of humor. Since then we’ve created and shared so many wonderful memories together. She’s become one of my closest and most trust friends, and I can’t imagine life without her! Now I’m so excited to be a part of her and Jesse’s big day.”

"Jesse is one of the most innately kind people I’ve ever known. He’s smart, yet is always looking to learn new perspectives and heed others’ advice. He’s funny, the life of the party, and also an excellent confidant. The kind of person that inspires those around him to be the best versions of themselves. Christelle is simply wonderful, and she has come the closest out of anyone I know to matching the size of his heart. Jesse is a man who would die trying to make her happy, exactly as a husband should. The best part about him, is that no one had to teach him how to be that way. I love you guys."

"I guess you can say I’m the older sister she never had… Just kidding. I could never, Christelle did an amazing job as an older sister and as a mom at times. Despite our many ups and downs, we have always been there for each other, as sisterly love will always persevere. I am so grateful that she have found someone like Jesse. Can’t wait to celebrate!!"

"I’m very thankful for being Jesse’s friend. He reminds me of myself. He’s loyal, funny and sucks at fantasy football, oh wait I don’t suck at fantasy football… I guess that’s just him. Regardless of all that, Jesse is lucky he found Christelle and she’s very lucky in return and it’s a special thing to see two people so happy and in love. I wish you both the best and will help you guys with whatever it is you need in the future. I love you both”

"My favorite memory with Christelle is us waiting half an hour for our Organic Chemistry lecture to start, only to change our minds minutes before the start of class and walk to the Chilantro food truck instead. No regrets were had."

"I would have to say, I’m the little brother Jesse never had and always wanted. Growing up, I looked up to him and spent some of my time trying to be his shadow. The first memory I have with Jesse, we were role playing as Lord of the Rings characters, fighting imaginary orcs. Though we are separated by 720 miles, I can always count on that same jovial and childlike energy when we’re together"
