This wedding wasn’t just a celebration of your love, but also of the families who shaped you and the lifelong commitment you’re making to one another Alec and I will always be your siblings and your built-in best friends and we can’t wait to keep experiencing life with you, right from the front row. We love you both so much. 💛
You and Jasmine balance each other so well. You’re the extrovert to her introvert, the bougie to her groundedness, the long-term memory to her short-term one. But more importantly, it’s so clear how deeply you love, care for, and protect her. So when you told me you were proposing, I couldn’t have been more relieved or more thrilled - that she found someone who cherishes her with such dedication, loyalty, and consistency.
Nickolas, Nick you were the guy who showed up out of nowhere the day we helped Jasmine move into her dorm and then you just never left. But honestly, it’s easy to see why. And I’m so glad you stayed, because I gained another foodie friend and a brother-in-law.
You handle everything with this calm strength that’s so rare, especially in a world that moves fast and expects even faster reactions. You lead with kindness, even when it’s hard and that says everything about your character. Not surprising that you’re now an elementary school teacher! The world really needs more people like you. You already know this, but one of the best parts of marrying your brother has been gaining a sister like you. I hope our bond only grows stronger over the years.
It’s been such a privilege to watch you grow into the beautiful woman you are today - still full of grace, patience, and humility. Seriously, I don’t think I’ve ever seen you get angry or even slightly vindictive.
Jasmine, Jas. I still remember the first moment I met you. Even back then as a middle schooler you radiated this quiet stillness. I’ll admit, I was a little nervous to meet the younger sister, thinking you might be the total opposite of your introverted brother… but instead, you both share this calm, thoughtful energy. It’s a true reflection of the home your parents built and the family that raised you.
