Wedding Party

Jessi Valentine

Maid of Honor

Not too many moons ago, I met Jayden for the first time. I remember it was in a tutoring group—she was supposed to tutor me and keep me in line. But, of course, with my unmatched wit and undeniable charm, I managed to woo her into being my friend instead. Once I had her fully convinced, I unleashed my true self—screeching and all—and, to my surprise, she still accepted me and welcomed me into her life. Meeting Jayden felt like a soul connection, pure and without expectations. Our friendship isn’t about balance or keeping score; it’s about love that overflows on both sides. I can’t wait to grow old with her (and Max too—he’s cool, I guess). But Jayden, I just want you to know how much I truly love you

I would describe Max and I’s friendship as two puzzle pieces that just clicked. Practically from the moment we met we were friends and could understand each other without even saying anything. That coupled with our go with the flow attitudes made for a very fun and easy friendship.

Jayden and I met through her brother, on a night we were supposed to hang out but turned into a night of bonding for Jayden and I! We played footloose in the background while talking about the millions of things we had in common. I was warned that she was a hot head with a mouth, which is the absolute truth, but it’s what makes her so special. I knew from then on that I’d do everything in my power to keep her safe, loved and heard. After all these years, no matter how far apart we are or how long we go without talking, she will always be my best friend and sister.

When I met Max I didn’t know he would end up being one of my best friends at Bradley. We could have conversations ranging from serious or existential to silly and absurd. Max and I razzed each other, sure, but that was part of the fun! Max convinced me to longboard, made my first DnD campaign extra fun, and supported me through whatever fraternal or life stuff was bogging me down. I’m incredibly grateful to have met Max, and I’m excited for him and his future with Jay. Perge!

I wish I remembered the exact date we met but I do remember it was within our little gamer group in a random Friday the 13th lobby. We now have a 6+ year long snap streak & it feels like I’ve known Jayden forever but I finally got to meet her sweet bubbly self in person July of 2019! I’m eternally grateful that her & her family welcomed me to stay in her home, enjoying the time I got to spend with her, Dad, Zoey, Gizmo, Charlie & Biscuits. I love you guys so so much. I may not be the closest in distance but I will always do whatever I can to support & be there for you. I can’t wait to meet Max & be by your guy’s side on the big day!

I don't remember exactly the first time I met Max, but I do remember the first thing I ever saw from him. It was when he was inebriated and laughing hysterically at GTA jet engine noises. That inspired so much confidence in me that I voted him as president of our pledge class. From there on we became quick friends and to this day he is one of the best friends I've ever had. I've enjoyed many trips with him and have many fond memories of just hanging out. He can often be a lot, but it's always a fun time with him no matter what we're doing. I'm happy to call him a friend and a brother.

I met Bubbles (Jayden) on a group trip with friends to Martha's Vineyard. We bonded over our love of country music & quickly became friends. I'm so happy to get to know both Max & Jayden and to celebrate them on their wedding day!

I met Max back in our freshman year of college. He foolishly signed a sheet of paper that said he would become one of my victims, I mean players, in what ended up being the greatest D&D adventure I have ever hosted. Through the walks back to the dorms, Max and I developed an understanding of each other, one that evolved to a point where we've had full conversations by staring at each other. He's always been there for me when I needed him, and I couldn't be happier for him and Jayden.
