Fredericksburg, VA, sometime around 2004, holds a special place in Kristie's heart. That's where she met Jacqueline, and their friendship blossomed alongside their children, who were practically in diapers at the time! This chance encounter turned into a beautiful friendship, as they became part of an incredible group of six besties. Jacqueline and Kristie, Nico and Tariq, and Ian and Bella. Jacqueline isn't just a friend, she's the kind of confidante Kristie knows she can always count on. There have been moments when life threw its toughest punches, and Jacqueline was there, a steady presence. Countless hours were spent on the phone, Jacqueline simply listening, offering unwavering support without judgment. Just being there, a constant reminder that Kristie wasn't alone. Everyone needs a Jacqueline in their life. A friend who shows up, listens deeply, and offers unwavering support through thick and thin. Kristie is incredibly grateful to have Jacqueline by her side, not just on this special day, but for life's ongoing adventures.

Florida sunshine brought more than just warmth to Kristie's life. It brought Michelle! Fresh off a haircut disaster (courtesy of a not-so-masterful stylist at Ulta!), Kristie spotted Michelle - a vision of sassy hair and cool tattoos - across the salon. "She's the one to fix this mess!" Kristie thought, and fix it she did! But Michelle became so much more than a hairstylist. Years of laughter, tears, and life's ups and downs have solidified their friendship. Michelle even masterminded the surprise of a lifetime - orchestrating Jeff's amazing proposal and keeping the whole thing a secret from Kristie! Through thick and thin, Michelle has been a constant source of support and laughter. Kristie couldn't imagine life without her best friend by her side.

Talk about a disastrous hairdo turning into a lifelong friendship! Tamara and Kristie met through Michelle, Tamara's longtime friend, after a less-than-ideal experience at Ulta. It was instant connection, as if they'd known each other forever. Life threw a curveball when Tamara relocated to Kristie's home state of Tennessee two years ago, but distance hasn't dimmed their bond. Tamara surprised Kristie with a visit for the engagement, proving true friendship knows no miles! Not only is Tamara a bridesmaid, but she's also wielding her hairstylist superpowers (thank goodness, after Ulta!), alongside Michelle, to ensure Kristie looks flawless on the big day. And, as if that wasn't enough, she's the mastermind behind this very website you're reading! Kristie feels incredibly lucky to have Tamara by her side, not just for the wedding glam squad, but for the unwavering support and laughter that defines their friendship.

Kristie's pride and joy, Isabella, isn't just her daughter, she's also her biggest cheerleader! From the very beginning, Isabella embraced Jeff and their growing love story. Now, she can't wait to celebrate their wedding day! While they might not share a spitting image, Isabella's heart and humor are a delightful reflection of Kristie. She's truly one of Kristie's greatest achievements, and Kristie couldn't be more proud to have her daughter by her side as a bridesmaid.

Friendship doesn't come with a timeframe, and Mike Taylor is living proof! Despite meeting Kristie just three years ago, their bond has blossomed into a cherished friendship. Their evenings are filled with laughter, deep conversations, planning adventures, and of course, sharing the best Southern recipes and secrets. Mike and Kristie are kindred spirits when it comes to their love for all things Southern, with a special place in their hearts for Maryland crabs. When they're not following their favorite comedians, Leanne Morgan and Fortune Femster, live, you might find them cheering on Clay and Jeff, their choral significant others. Mike's dedication even extends beyond friendship. He's put his green thumb to the test, "growing" some of the wedding decorations himself! Kristie couldn't be more grateful to have Mike by her side, not just on her wedding day, but for all the laughter and adventures to come.

Cassie holds a special place in Kristie's heart – they've been best friends since the very beginning, Since Kristie's birth! Sisters! Through thick and thin, sleepovers and scraped knees, laughter and tears, Cassie's been there for it all. Kristie couldn't imagine celebrating this momentous occasion with anyone else. Cassie is more than just a bridesmaid, she's Kristie's first and forever best friend, and she's incredibly grateful to share this special day by her side.

Karen and Kristie's friendship might have started on an off-key note (neither were known for their singing abilities!), but it was the choir that brought them together. Their unlikely bond blossomed when they volunteered together at the Orlando Choral Society, proving that harmony isn't always about the music. From belting out (slightly off-key) tunes to volunteering side-by-side, Kristie knew she'd found a true friend in Karen. Now, Karen stands by Kristie's side, ready to celebrate this next chapter with her lifelong friend.

Kristie and Beth's friendship blossomed in the most unexpected place: Orlando Choral Society! While their Southern drawls might have drawn a few playful jabs, they quickly discovered a deep well of shared experiences and values. Finding true friendships as adults can be a challenge, but Kristie feels incredibly lucky to have found such a kindred spirit in Beth. Now, they'll be standing side-by-side, not just through passing out music, but as Kristie celebrates her happily ever after!
