Jessica & Justin
Wedding Party
Jess
Bride
"I can't believe I'm marrying someone as kind, goofy, and thoughtful as Justin Mauney. He inspires me to be a better person while beating me on the tennis court. Some of my favorite memories from our three years together are hiking the Grand Canyon, singing together in church, and of course when Justin asked me to marry him on a mountain in North Carolina! He brings me the utmost joy and I can't wait to embark on our lifelong adventure! "
Justin
Groom
"Everyday I’m so thankful that I’m getting to marry the one and only Jessica Miller! She constantly makes me laugh every time she devours an entire meal before I take my first bite or anytime she diverts our walk to go pet a puppy. Jess is one of the most selfless and loving people I’ve ever met and she is 100% my better half in this relationship. I’m so incredibly blessed to have her in my life and I can’t wait to be married to her soon!"
Elena
Maid of Honor
"Hi everyone! I’m Elena, and I’ve had the greatest pleasure of being automatic best friends [AKA sisters] with the one, the only, Jessica Miller. We did everything together growing up – blanket forts, stationery businesses, homeschooling, doubles tennis tournaments, and treat-yourself-weekends just to name a few. I can’t exactly do this marriage thing with her, but I’m so happy that she found someone as wonderful as Justin to share it with. Cheers to the Bride and Groom!"
Christian
Best Man
"Hey y’all! My name is Christian Mauney, and if you can’t tell by the last name, I’m Justin’s younger brother. Growing up with Justin was one of the most fun yet…interesting times of my life. Justin was without a doubt my biggest role model growing up, and unfortunately for me, a lot of who I am today is because of him. In all seriousness, I am short of words when it comes to describing just how incredible Justin and Jess are, not to mention how perfect they are together. And with that, all I have left to say is GET READY FOR THE BEST WEDDING EVERRRR!!! :)"
Lauren
Bridesmaid
"Jessica and I first met in middle school Latin class, but our friendship was truly forged on the high school tennis team. She always made long tennis matches more fun with her high energy and contagious laughter. We stayed friends while going to college in different states. After graduation, Jessica became the world’s best wing woman when I married her older brother John and I became an official Miller. After more than a decade of friendship, I feel so blessed to have her as a sister-in-law. Jessica and Justin couldn’t be more perfect together, and I am so excited to stand next to Jessica on her big day!"
John
Groomsman
"When I first met Justin, he was stuffing his face with donuts as part of the 2018 Krispy Kreme Challenge. In spite of that, he was warm and friendly, as everyone who meets him immediately discovers. Throughout years of game night, ping pong duels, escape room antics, NC State fandom, and running races, I've come to appreciate his humor, energy, morals and values, beardliness, and much more. As the future brother-in-law, I'm confident that my sister is entering into a union that will be blessed with lifelong happiness and love. Looking forward to the big day!"
Ashley
Bridesmaid
"Jess and I met when touring NC State and bonded over our shared home in the Virginias. When we both decided to join the Wolfpack, we lived together the first year in college and it worked out so well we stayed roommates for the next four years!"
Cole
Groomsman
"I met Jason my freshman year of college when we were members of NC State's all-male a cappella group, Grains of TIme. We went on to live together - along with fellow groomsman Jacob - the next three years, which were filled with travels across the country and abroad, household jam sessions, late night calzones and video games, bar trivia, and hundreds of hours of goofiness. Justin is as loyal and loving as men come, and one of the best friends a guy could ask for. I'm incredibly excited to stand with him as he marries Jess, the perfect woman for him."
Emily
Bridesmaid
"I met Jess through a scholarship program at our mutual alma mater, NCSU. Throughout the course of our friendship, we’ve enjoyed countless late night jam sessions, tons of dances, mountains of delicious food, and endless fun. Since all of these things are guaranteed to occur at the wedding (and because I think Justin is pretty rad), I can’t wait to get Jess and Justin hitched!"
Jacob
Groomsman
“I met Justin early on in my freshman year at NC State University but we didn’t get to know one another until the next year. Justin, Cole, and I became roommates, allowing our friendship to grow and our bond to strengthen. During our time together I learned a few things about Justin: He will most definitely be late for plans assuming that he remembers to show up at all; His faith is strong and can be seen in everything he does; Justin is a fierce, loyal, and genuine friend and I am fortunate to have him in my life. I look forward to standing with him not only at his wedding to the always incredible Jess but also through the new life that they build together.”
Radina
Bridesmaid
"I fortuitously met Jess about 6 years now through tennis at NC State, and I am forever grateful that I did. Since then Jess has become an extremely supportive and wonderful friend of mine! Ever since Jess first told me about Justin, it was evident this was going to be something special - and it was. They are the sweetest, most amazing, most perfect couple, and I couldn't be happier and excited for them both!"
Cam
Groomsman
"Justin and I first met on the tennis court in Spring 2018. Justin was a pretty good player who I thought was too nice to be true. I was a player that Justin had a yearning to beat. As we got to know each other and hung out outside of tennis we found out that we had all the makings for a perfect bromance. From Game Pigeon tournaments to winning tennis tournaments together, our friendship has continued to grow thanks to a healthy dose of sarcasm and a love for having a good time and a nice laugh. Jess and Justin, known as Jesstin, have become such an invaluable couple to my fiancée and me. And Justin has become such a cherished and valued friend to me. I couldn’t be more excited for the perfect couple and am honored to be a part of their special day."
