Wedding Party

Valerie Spektor
Valerie Spektor - Maid of Honor
Hey guys it’s Val, the Maid of Honor! I’ve known Chucky and Jonathan for a little over 10 years! We were the trio in High School :) There are too many good memories that we have shared over the years but my favorite ones were our late night drives, listening to music and laughing about the stupidest things! I’m honored to have witnessed their love story from the start and see how much love they have for each other.

Hi! I’m Cassie, I have known Charles since 6th grade and Jonathan since high school. My fondest memories include hanging out with Jonathan and Charles after school whether that was getting Starbucks or spending time laughing for hours at Charles’ house. Now that we are adults we’ve had the opportunity to travel together and they played significant role in my own wedding. Watching their relationship flourish has been awe inspiring. I can’t wait to be a part of their special day celebrating their love for each other.

Hi everyone! I’m Alexis, one of Jonathan and Charles’ closest friends and now a proud groomsmaid. We all met back in high school, where countless memories were made—whether it was laughing during lunch, hanging out after school, or just surviving high school, period. 🤭 What I love most is how those early days laid the foundation for the incredible bond Jonathan and Charles share today. Seeing them grow together through the years has been inspiring, and I’m so thrilled to celebrate this next chapter with them. ♥️

Hello! My name is Keanna. Charles and Jonathan are my best friends and former college roommates. I feel so honored to be apart of their wedding day and reflect on all the beautiful moments that led to this special day, and look forward to all the precious memories to come! One of my favorite memories is the day I met Jonathan and Charles. We were in the same English class together at Los Medanos College. I was an introvert and sat in the back corner of the classroom. Charles and Jonathan then sparked up a conversation and we been best friends since! We then moved our lives down to Southern California with our sis, Evelyn, and the 4 of us shared a home together while we were in Nursing School. Words cannot express how happy I am to watch their love grow over the years. I wish you both eternal love, happiness, and laughter together. I love you and congratulations to you both!

Hi! I’m Micaela. I live in SoCal but my heart is in NorCal because of Charles and jonjon. Couldn’t be more grateful to meet them in nursing school. One of the memorable moments we had together is jumping in Newport Beach fully clothed during sunset after finishing up a term of nursing school. We were like kids seeing the ocean for the first time. I love you both so much and can’t wait to celebrate your love!
Saba Khatami
Saba Khatami - Groomsmaid
Hi, my name is Saba. Jonathan and Charles are more than just friends to me—they are the heart and soul of my life, my chosen family. As an immigrant, I never imagined that I could find a family here in America, but they welcomed me with open arms, making me feel at home in a way I never thought possible. Their home became my sanctuary, a place where I was always greeted with warmth and love. They would even argue with me if I couldn't stop by, insisting that I belong there. During the most challenging moments of my life—nursing school, which often felt like an impossible mountain to climb—they were by my side. I doubted myself so many times, questioning if I could pass, if I could even survive the pressure. But Jonathan and Charles never let me fall. Jonathan is my rock, my best friend. He listens to me with such care and always has a hug ready when I need one. Knowing that I have someone like him in my life, someone I can trust with my deepest fears and who would fight for me without hesitation, is a blessing I can't put into words. Charles and I share dreams of a luxurious life, often fantasizing about how we could build it together. We've talked endlessly about the things we want, imagining a future where we could enjoy the finer things in life. But more than material possessions, it's the time we've spent together, supporting each other through every high and low, that means the most to me. They stood by me during the darkest times, and I honestly don't know how to express my gratitude. I've watched their love grow, and it fills my heart to be part of their big day. Jonathan and Charles, you have no idea how much you mean to me. I am so incredibly lucky to be part of your lives. I love you both more than words can say.

Hello everyone, I’m Patrick! I’m Charles older brother. One thing that I truly enjoy the most about Charles and Jonathan is the love that these two share. Ever since these two were together, their love has continued to grow. From HS, LMC, aWest Coast University, moving to Dublin and now San Francisco. They have shown me what true love really is. Each and every one of us has felt their love in many ways. On the day of their wedding, we will gather to celebrate that love. I’m excited for their next chapter in life and knowing that the sky is the limit for these two. They will continue to learn, grow, and love one another until the end, as I couldn’t be more proud and happier for the both of them.
