Jessica
and
Brian
Wedding Party
Jennifer Allen
Maid of Honor
Jessica and Jennifer are twins! Jessica knew from an early age that Jennifer would be her Maid of Honor. Growing up you couldn't find Jessica if you couldn't find Jennifer. They are best friends and can always find them laughing together. Even though they live in two different states, they talk everyday. Jennifer lives in San Fransico and is part of the global events team at Juniper Networks.
Alexis Huber
Bridesmaid
Jessica met Alexis during her nursing studies at Saint Louis University where they bonded over Ben Rector, popcorn, and mini bottles of champagne. You will probably find her with a glass of bubbly at the wedding! Alexis lives in St. Louis and works in the cardiac pediatric unit at St. Louis Children's Hospital.
Rose Broccolo
Bridesmaid
Jessica and Rose met during their studies at Saint Louis University. They instantly became friends in a class they had together. Rose was with Jessica when she met Brian for the first time at a Saint Louis University basketball game which makes it safe to say Rose had to be apart of the special day. Rose lives in Chicago and works for North Western University.
Sandy Fox
Bridesmaid
Jessica met Sandy in Dallas during her husband and Brian's Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Residency. After the first time Sandy and Jessica met, they instantly clicked. Jessica even thinks Sandy is the girl version of Brian. We love Sandy for her huge heart, bright personality, and her love of wine! Sandy lives in Cleveland and is a pediatric dentist.
Jennifer Ingamells
Bridesmaid
Jessica and Jennifer met at Parkland Hospital in Dallas where they both are registered nurses in the Neuroscience critical care unit. They instantly bonded over having some roots in California, and their deep obsession with Nordstrom! They both love to shop. Jennifer also is the proud owner of Russell's best friend, Jackson, a goldendoodle. Jennifer still works with Jessica at Parkland, but sadly on days now!
