remember telling Jeff that she was a breath of fresh air I meant it then and I mean it today Julene you are a breath of fresh air in the very same way I know your family feels about Jeff I knew that Jeff found a treasure in Julene when I saw that she was a co-conspirator in his Tom Foolery she matches him in every way and he compliments her in the best way I've never been shock about saying how proud I am of you Jeff you've taken today on a role as husband and your role as father is exemplary you have solidified the man I've watched you grow up to be Julene you too have found a treasure I'm

black love good evening everyone okay maybe not good evening everyone for those of you who do not know me my name is Janelle White and I am the maate of Honor Jalene and I have known each other for 20 plus years now I would give you an exact amount but I'm sure you're going to start doing math um the bride and I are also some years apart mind your business about those specifics as well I'm sure when she met me at the tender age of six as amazing as I am now I'm sure sorry as amazing as I am now I was still the typical tagalong that your mom sends everywhere with you to decrease the likelihood of you getting in trouble or tattling on you if you did something naughty fast forward to today while writing this speech I recognize I could not simply call Jalene my friend she is family and not just in the Caribbean sentiment that out of respect you address friends and family as Auntie or Uncle I mean she is simply my big sister she's been my manager and an amazing one at that she's an incredible lactation consultant and known to some of us as the titty Ambassador she's been a nurse for over a decade and she's been my nurse inserting a Foley when she realized my nurse had no idea

you how much we trust her even with our children's lives she is a woman of Integrity who you can depend on she's intelligent creative beautiful and I mean have you seen that ass I know Jeff did I think that's enough to show you that I've been around a while when she introduced me to Jeff I was cautious to say the least Jalene is describing this night and telling me about this tall handsome funny man who she met and vibed with at Quanza K Quanza a fun night of bar hopping and drinking H let's see what's wrong with him so I got there that night right ready for my detective work I challenged his wit during game night and Jeff surprisingly met my challenge with one sarcastic retort after another all while smiling keeping cool and and proceeding to tell me a story about him fighting a lion hence his Lion's tooth necklace I left that game night optimistically cautious after a few more game nights and hanging out with Jeff I stopped being cautiously optimistic and started to just be optimistic Jalene gushed Over All the Small Things he did for her how thoughtful he was how protected she felt how she blushed and bamed when she said or even heard his name I saw my friend being loved the way she needed I saw the bride feel safe with the man who she knows is going to come through for her I saw the families Embrace each other with open arms and H Hearts I watched jelene fall in in love with Jeff when Jeff told us he was going to be making Jalene his wife I was overjoyed because I knew my friend had found the one so can you guys raise your glasses please as you embark
