Lauren and Jessica became best friends when they met at Carmel Middle School in 6th grade. Their 18 years of friendship consists of late nights in Lauren's parent's basement talking to boys, making dramatic AIM away messages out of Blink 182 song lyrics, hanging out at Seton Fest and Carmel Fest, getting a bunch of weird scary movies from Blockbuster to watch at sleepovers, and going on planned and spontaneous trips around the world. Jessica was a bridesmaid in Lauren's wedding and she can't wait to have Lauren as a bridesmaid at hers!

Mikayla and Jessica met at Carmel Middle School when they were in 7th grade and they've been best friends ever since. With over 17 years of friendship, they've been through everything together.

Some of their favorite memories together are Spring Breaks in Panama City Beach with the boys, late nights out in Bloomington, driving around Carmel with nothing to do, and sitting in Jessica's mom's basement for hours watching One Tree Hill. Jessica can't imagine getting married without Mikayla by her side.

Brooklyn is Jessica's cousin and, even with the 12 years between them, they are great friends. They love spending time together during their great family gatherings at Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break in Florida, and 4th of July on Mackinaw Island.

Jessica is excited to make even more amazing memories with Brooklyn as her bridesmaid!
