Callie is Suzanne's sister, so she's been there since the beginning and probably has the most embarrassing material on Suzanne thanks to their childhood. From their Spice Girl fan club days, glamorous costume dress-ups, numerous Barbie adventures, and endless Spongebob quotes, Callie and Suzanne go way back. Callie is an excellent trip and event planner and the hostess with the mostess, so Suzanne is sure she will nail her MOH duties.
Christina Tripp - Bridesmaid
Suzanne and Christina met in college at ACU in 2007. They were both English majors (nerds), so they shared many classes together and eventually became roommates for senior year through grad school. Christina can make Suzanne laugh more than just about anyone else can, and they have spent a lot of time doing just that. Suzanne's favorite memory with Christina is attending the ATX Film Festival for the Gilmore Girls cast reunion in 2015.
Kristen Drish - Bridesmaid
Suzanne and Kristen met at ACU in 2008 when they both pledged Alpha Kai Omega. They remained great friends throughout college and even lived together for a year after graduating. Kristen stuck by Suzanne's side on a fateful trip to LA when Suzanne was struck with appendicitis - still probably the most memorable trip ever. Kristen is one of Suzanne's most loyal and consistent friends.
Liz Hanna - Bridesmaid
Suzanne met Liz in 2014 when she moved to Dallas and started working at MLink Technologies (RIP). Along with Michelle, they became close work friends that evolved into "real" friends. Liz eventually moved on to Southwest Airlines and helped Suzanne get a job there too, so now they still get to work together after all these years. Suzanne and Liz bond over Harry Potter, the Enneagram, travel, and grammar.
Michelle Ochoa - Bridesmaid
Suzanne also met Michelle in 2014 at MLink Technologies. Michelle started inviting Suzanne to hang out outside of work, often along with Liz. Michelle is Suzanne's most adventurous, creative, and social friend. She is always up for an adventure and has pulled Suzanne out of her shell along the way for many of these, always leading to a good story. Michelle will likely take over the world and own a yacht one day and has promised to save Suzanne a room on that yacht.
Leah Fadling - Bridesmaid
Suzanne met Leah in 2014 at a mutual friend's weekly Bachelorette viewing party. They later grew closer when they both joined a church small group together and have shared a lot of life together since then. Suzanne learns something every time she talks to Leah and appreciates her wisdom and sense of style. Leah shares Suzanne's love of travel and they have been able to enjoy several amazing trips together. Now that they both have an airline connection, they can enjoy many more trips to come.
