Wedding Party
Stephan Wu
Best Man
Q: What was your first impression of Kelly or Jason? A: I met Jason for the first time in the Hill House bathroom the first day of freshman year at Penn. It's very strange to say but, despite my horrible memory, I do distinctly remember that Jason was brushing his teeth at the time (and flossing!). So I guess my first impression was "wow, this guy has very clean teeth. I wonder if we'll be friends..." Q: What is your favorite memory with Kelly and/or Jason? A: My favorite memories of Kelly and Jason are from my own wedding day in the height of COVID. Because of the raging pandemic, my wife Puja and I could only have 12 people at our wedding. Kelly and Jason both braved the insanity of that year to fly out to celebrate with us. Although it was small, it was also one of the first times we were able to spend time with Kelly and Jason as a couple. It was an incredible experience to have them with us, Jason officiating and Kelly wrangling our yappy little dog. Q: What reality show would Kelly and/or Jason excel on and why? A: Maybe cliche but the Amazing Race: one of the greatest parts of Jason and Kelly's relationship (and one that will serve them endlessly in their lives together) is how great a team they are. They have a great give-and-take and, suspiciously, never seem to get annoyed at each other. That would serve them well through the trials and tribulations of a CBS show that has run for far longer than most of their material.

Q: What is your favorite memory with Kelly and/or Jason? A: For the purposes of this exercise it probably has to be my 22nd birthday party when Jason and Kelly met! Though *memory* is probably too strong. Q: Have you ever had a near death experience with Kelly or Jason? If so explain: A: Yes, Kelly and I were sabotaged and pushed into the Southern Ocean (see picture). Q: What is a song that reminds you of Kelly and Jason? A: Rihanna-Birthday Cake. I'm sorry. Q: What reality show would Kelly and/or Jason excel on and why? A: Jason would excel at the 2006 Fox Reality Channel Classic Solitary. You sit alone in a room and the number one challenge is you can't talk to people and don't know what time it is.

Q: Have you ever had a near death experience with Kelly or Jason? If so explain. A: Kelly and I were both blown out to sea on Kayaks in Canada. We were both unphased...our parents were not (hours later once they found out). Any intimation that I got bored of being blown out to sea and paddled back, leaving her behind, is baseless slander. Editor's note: Kelly would like to add it is only slander if it isn't true and Tim did indeed abandon her, but importantly he did tell the adults in charge they forgot about her so they could alert the authorities. Q: Who would play Kelly and Jason in a rom com about their lives? A: Jason Kelce as both roles. Q: What reality show would Kelly and/or Jason excel on and why? A: Kelly has definitely lobstered enough to excel on Deadliest Catch. Q: What do you think Kelly and Jason's wedding hashtag should be? A: #TeamReduceGrandchildPressureOnTim

Q: What was your first impression of Kelly? A: "This is someone that get Jason to grow up a bit." Additionally, I thought Kelly was super funny and very down to earth. I also thought this person's personality is definitely something I can understand why Jason is very fond of. Q: What is your favorite memory with Kelly and/or Jason? A; My favorite memory is was when Justin and I surprised Jason with a visit for his birthday in DC. I haven't really seen Jason shocked a lot of times in my life and he was, and it was captured on video. We also haven't all been together in a little while so it was a really special moment and I was very grateful that Kelly organized such a sweet gesture for him. Core memory for sure. Q: What reality show would Kelly and/or Jason excel on and why? A: I think Kelly would really excel at the Mole on Netflix. I feel like she’d be perfect at picking out who the mole is because I feel like she has a good BS detector. Where she would falter is if she were the mole in the show. Q: Name an iconic quote from Kelly or Jason. A: Not a quote but when Jason raises hand and waves it and opens his eyes widely to insinuate that he has a question, and then the question is dumb. Whenever Kelly says "unclear" I always giggle.

Q: What is your favorite memory with Jason? A: We used to have Wii sports tournaments to see which one of the three siblings were the best at a particular game. One night when we were playing Jason went upstairs to get a snack. Next thing we know we hear a crash and see Jason in the wall near the steps. He wasn’t hurt but we all were dying of laughter. Growing up I held the record for most holes made in our childhood home. On this night I had nothing to do with the damage and it felt good. Q: What is a song that reminds you of Kelly/Jason? A: Come and get your love by Redbone, it is unclear why but when it plays on my playlist I think of you two. Then I remember that Kelly doesn’t care for Chris Pratt so it is a strange connection. Q: Who would play Kelly/Jason in a rom com about their lives? A: Tina Fey would play Kelly. She can capture Kelly’s cleverness and still be silly. For Jason it would be Omari Hardwick. He can capture how over the top Jason can be and come back to baseline. The rom com would be set in the Passion’s universe. Tabitha (witch) would make a cameo and Sheridan would make an unexpected appearance near the end. Q: Name an iconic quote from Jason. A: Jason use to always say “What if there was a gritty reboot of [insert vanilla movie here] and he would go on to describe an intense story for that show or movie. Now we have gotten a gritty reboot of Winnie the Pooh and the YouTube Power Rangers movie stole his ideas. Jason was just thinking in the future.

Q: What was your first impression of Kelly or Jason? A: I met Kelly playing club volleyball at Penn! I appreciated her dry/sarcastic humor which is what initially made us hit it off. She was also confident, matter-of-fact and a loyal teammate. Q: What is your favorite memory with Kelly and/or Jason? A: No one memory but I really loved the times Kelly and I would join the Mens' club volleyball practice. Although some of our other teammates would join from time-to-time, we regularly crashed the Mens' practice and had the best time challenging ourselves playing with them. Kelly was always down for new experiences and pushing her own limits/boundaries! Plus, she was the best smack talker when we'd show those guys how we could really play Q: Have you ever had a near death experience with Kelly or Jason? If so explain. A: YES. Kelly was almost always (or just always) one of the drivers for our club volleyball team when we were traveling to tournaments. I forget where we were driving back from but it was freezing and had snowed recently and the road was quite slick. There was a car in front of us on the highway that slid on some black ice and spun out in front of us and slid into the side bank, but Kelly kept her cool (as always!) and we were 100% safe. Q: What reality show would Kelly and/or Jason excel on and why? A: Love is Blind because they would still find and choose each other! (As someone who doesn't watch a lot of reality shows lol)

Q: What is your first impression/favorite memory with Kelly ? A: I first met Kelly during Thanksgiving; I was having a couple friends over and Kelly/Jason were up visiting. Anyway, we ended up playing Uno which sounds like quiet time, except we play Uno with lots of jokes, smack talk, and yelling. Kelly fit in so seamlessly with the rest of us, it felt like she had always been there. Q: Have you ever had a near death experience with Jason? If so explain. A: Sorta. Post college I went to the movies in New Brunswick and I thought I saw Jason, which I thought was odd because SURELY he would have told me he was in town. It turns out it wasn't him … five minutes later Jason actually walks by - I could've strangled him. Q: What is a song that reminds you of Jason? A: Way back in the 00s when ringback tones were a thing, Jason had 'The Way I Are' by Timbaland ft. Keri Hilson as his tone. The song is still on some of my playlists, it always makes me laugh. Q: Who would play Kelly and Jason in a rom com about their lives? A: Keanu Reeves (who else is as quiet and kind) and Sandra Bullock (she's fun and lively) - I also love the movie "Speed"

Q: What was your first impression of Kelly or Jason? A: Help me understand why we hired someone whose most recent work experience was on a whale watch boat? Q: What reality show would Kelly and/or Jason excel on? A: Jeopardy or the Amazing race. Q: Name an iconic quote from Kelly or Jason. A: "It's a two side day at Bojangles" [circa 2014]
Jason Reyes
Officiant
Q: What is your favorite memory with Kelly and/or Jason? A: The three of us had at one point watched John Wick together and Kelly was not pleased because we had not prepared her for the dog dying early in the movie. A few years later, we were going to see John Wick 3 in theaters and promised Kelly that no dogs were going to die in the movie, not knowing that a dog does in fact get shot during the movie (but lives, so we were right!). We haven’t heard the end of it since. Honorable mention: during a game of Loaded Questions, Jason and I both responded to “What kind of baggage could your significant other have that would be a deal-breaker” with “Samsonite”. Q: What is a song that reminds you of Kelly and Jason? A: Party in the USA is the theme song of our college years (and one of Jason’s top karaoke picks) Q: Who would play Kelly and Jason in a rom com about their lives? A: I think it would be funny for Donald Glover and Danny Glover to play different versions of Jason in the same movie even though they aren’t related. For Kelly, Reese Witherspoon and Meryl Streep. Q: What reality show would Kelly and/or Jason excel on and why? A: Kelly – Survivor. Her entire career has prepared her to dominate tribal council.
