The Bridal Party

Jess is honored to have asked these four ladies to be in our wedding (and even more honored that they agreed). We are always thankful for good friends and family that are willing to support us and be a part of this day with us.

The Maid of Honor:

Joanna Stern (The Bride's Big Sister) Joanna and Jessica are only 16 months apart. They are extremely close and never go a day without talking. Granted, they live in the same house . . . but the point is, they talk all the time. Jo just had a baby, our little niece Sophia Grace. The two have already made her into a shopper and fashion icon. If only she wore the same size shoes.



The Bridesmaids:

Ali Deering-- Ali and Jess lived together in London. They met the first night they were abroad and spent almost every day together after that. She's from Michigan, goes to Mizzou, has a similar love for cheese, bread, and pizza. It was obvious these two were meant to find each other.



Michelle Anderson-- Michelle and Jess have grown up together. They played basketball and soccer together for years, double-dated to dances with yours truly and Michelle's soon-to-be-husband, Wes, and have maintained a close friendship through their college years.




Lauren Mattson-- Lauren is my little sister. She has a crazy sense of humor and shares Jess's love for literature and English. When the two get together, there's always laughter. Usually, I'm too scared to even ask what they're laughing about, but I love seeing my family all blending together.
