Jodee Shelbourn - Maid of Honor
Jodee is Kristene's best friend and they've been friends for over 12 years! They met in 2005 at UW and have been each other's best go-to gal ever since. They've had many adventures together including Kristene's first trip to Las Vegas for her 25th bday and then back again for another milestone birthday a few years later. Happy hours are also their favorite things to do as that gives them all the "girl talk" time they need.
