Taylor Furrer - Bridesmaid - Long-Time Best Friend
Tay & Tina have been best friends since 3rd grade, when Kristina moved onto the same street as Taylor.

Liz & Kristina have been best friends since Kristina moved to Lee's Summit in 3rd grade. They were always scheming and having the wildest adventures together growing up.

Lindsey is such an adventurous, loyal, and thoughtful friend.

Andi was one of Kristina's favorite things that came out of her time at Mizzou. Andi & Kristina were in the same sorority, and became besties once they realized they were the same major.

She also is the one who set Charlie and Kristina up, so we wouldn't be here today without her!
Anna Bruck - Bridesmaid - College (& Now Life-Long) Bestie
Anna & Kristina lived together for 3 years in college, so she's been there through all the crazy times. Tina still loves going to Dallas to spend random weekends with her "Nanner" just like the college days. Kristina can spend the weekend laying on the couch with Anna, or hitting the town for adventures, but no matter what they're doing, it just feels right because she's with her bestie.
Rebecca "Becca" Harrel - Bridesmaid - Work (& Now Life-Long) Bestie
Becca and Tina have truly had some of the best times together while traveling. They met when they started together at Cerner and have spent the last 6 years traveling together, turning work trips into girls' trips, & building the sweetest friendship.
