Jade & CJ
Wedding Party
Katherine
Maid of Honor
Bonded over Jenna Marbles Youtube videos, cats, and Wiz Khalifa freshman year in high school. I thought she always brought the best lunches to school- especially those famous turkey & cheese sandwiches. We sat next to each other in a computer gaming class in high school and the rest is history. We were glued at the hip all throughout high school and we have been inseparable ever since.
Kyle
Best Man
I met him freshman year in high school when we were both on the same varsity soccer team where we roasted each other on and off the field. We bonded very quickly over having so many similar qualities and interests...so much so that we call each other brothers. We ended up becoming roommates in college and were voted "Best Bromance" out of our friend group senior year of college. Kyle is a loyal friend and would do anything for those he loves. Kyle will insist he is a better dancer than you.. please challenge him to a dance off at the wedding.
Leah
Matron of Honor
We were in the same sorority for a split second and sat next to each other in a Psychology class in college. We bonded over our hispanic background and realized we had the same sense of humor, style, and job aspirations. We were roommates in college and I quickly learned her obsession of hot cheetos, tacos, and her dog Millie. We wore the exact same outfit the first time we ever went out and she has shared the other half of my brain ever since. We became besties so quickly and so did our boys!
Dave
Groomsman
We met sophomore year in college through a mutual friend. We ended up having the same major and became roommates senior year in college. Our personalities immediately clicked and we have been best friends ever since. Over the years Dave has taught me there is ALWAYS time for a snack and that there is never a bad time or place to take a quick nap. When you see him at the wedding make sure to ask him the full story of the first time we hung out.
Taylor
Bridesmaid
We met each other on Bid Day for Chi Omega. We both made pig faces in our first picture together and she laughed when I made inappropriate jokes...so obviously we hit it off. We immediately became best friends and were by each other's sides all throughout college. She is my travel buddy, beach-loving, best laughing, most outgoing, and most empathetic friend! I wish I were half as cool as her.
Eric
Groomsman
I met Eric right after our senior year in college when Jade and Leah were roommates. The first day I met him, we ended up talking for a LONG time about everything and anything. Later that day, he ended up slipping up by saying a little too much and ruining a Valentines Day surprise I had for Jade. Eric and I developed a super strong bromance from the start and it has only grown stronger over the years. He and I could literally talk about anything and it never gets old. I stood at his wedding this year and can't wait for him to stand in mine!
Ginny
Bridesmaid
We have been friends since 3rd grade. She got the highest reading counts points and got to ride a hot air balloon in front of the entire school. She has been my school and life tutor, travel partner, a listening ear, and my long distance bestie. I have fallen in love with Guinness since visiting her when she studied abroad in Ireland. I was there when she walked down the aisle on the west coast and now she will do the same for me on the east coast.
Sam
Groomsman
I moved in to his apartment as a random roommate after transferring from PC my sophomore year in college. Sam immediately made me feel included in his group of friends and we became close friends through hours of playing "card" games and Super Smash Bros. He is the wittiest person I've ever met and someone that will always have his friends back.
Vanessa
Bridesmaid
I met her when I was a baby. We joke that we are half sisters since our mom's are identical twins. She has been the closest thing I've had to a sister and my biggest role model. She's beauty and she's grace and she's the most talented person I know! She loves NYC, is a third degree black belt, and was the first girl in her high school to do competitive weight lifting...watch out boys! She has been my biggest supporter since birth.
Josh
Groomsman
As told by Jade- He met me when I was born. He is quick to know random facts about virtually anything. He is knowledgable about all sports, is the ultimate gamer, and is the first to be able to fix anything that breaks. He is the master at music trivia...well all things trivia because he is really good at Googling. He was voted Most Likely to be on Oprah in High school...I'm not sure why. He is kind, empathetic, and always down for Reddit discussions.
Sam
Bridesmaid
I met her freshman year in college at a function for an organization we reluctantly joined to make friends. We went on our first date to Zaxby's and both ordered the same meal with honey mustard and a Sprite. We were roommates the next year and have been apart of all of the big events in each other's lives. She is the only other person on this planet that loves Taylor Swift as much as me. She is the best Karaoke singer and best food date partner. I helped walk her down the aisle a couple years ago and now she gets to do the same for me!
Justin
Groomsman
As told by Jade- He met me when i was born and has been the stereotypical protective older brother since. He is the life of the party at all times and has basically the same personality as me...and very similar dance moves. He thinks he's a guido and is quick to fist bump whenever the beat drops. He is always drumming...on tabletops, steering wheels, on my head, on his chest...Travis Barker is his idol. He's easy going, funny, and never takes life too seriously. I'm sure you will catch him on the dance floor majority of the night.
Harley
Bridesmaid
She said she didn't like me when we first met. Somehow I convinced her to be my friend, we became roommates in college and have been besties ever since. She is the first to say a cheesy joke and I feel like a better person just by being around her. She is the cutest, most thoughtful friend and is quick to know all of the new Tik Tok songs/dances. She is always down to floss her way to the dance floor and pound a cinnamon roll...or 2 with me.
Allen
Groomsman
We met after he started dating Sam when I lived in VA. Jade met him first and Jade kept saying how she just knew they would get married one day and that him and I would get along great! Fast forward to present day... Jade was right! He and I connected quickly over our mutual love for the game of golf and drinking Barstools' "Transfusions" mixed drinks. Allen has become like a much taller...older brother to me over the years and I look forward to many more years of me attempting to whip his butt in golf. He has earned the name "gentle giant" for good reason!
Lexie
Bridesmaid
I thought she didn't like me when we first met my junior year in college. When we moved to Fort Mill, she was over at my house basically everyday for a year straight. She was our honorary roommate and quickly became our favorite third wheel. I love to brag about her to strangers and she is the second mother of our dog child, Kaia. She has a heart of gold and is my favorite person to crack jokes with.
Kenny
Groomsman
I met Kenny through Jade and Harley (Kenny's wife) when they lived together senior year at USC. The first time he and I hung out I already knew Jade and Harley were going to have their hands full whenever we did get together. Kenny has always been able to make any situation into an enjoyable one and is typically the best DJ in the room at all times. The more time we spent together over the years, the more I realized how similar we are and that you can always count on Kenny to come through for you....and to always pull out some sick dance moves.
Brooke
Bridesmaid
We met each other in Chi Omega but started to hang out our senior year in college. Our hangouts usually consisted of binge watching shows and stuffing our face with pizza. She is boujee yet also very simple..she is able to somehow pull off a gun holster with a Gucci bag at the same time. Majority of our friendship has been long distance with her living on the west coast so we are always chatting on the phone for hours. She's always down to go on a hike or go on a "short" trip to Target.
Michael
Groomsman
I met Michael when Lexie (Michael's wife) brought him over to our house when they first started dating. The moment we met I knew he was going to be a keeper for Lexie and I knew that I was about to gain another best friend. We instantly got along and bonded even more when we found out we have the same level of competitiveness. After beating Jade and Lexie at almost every card game, putt putt course, and every other game we could think of, we realized we were a pretty unstoppable team!
