Wedding Party
Cindy Lee Brown
Bridesmaid
My bestie for almost 20 years! We met when our boys wanted a sleepover and became friends cheering them on at football games. We've been there for each other through happy and sad moments, and our crazy shenanigans have created the best memories through the years. She has always been my travel buddy and ready for adventure. I love Cindy for her ability to act like a silly teen with me, and her motto to strive to be the best person possible. This fascinating, brilliant, big hearted lady puts her mind on a goal and always gets it done. I'm so thankful she's traveling all the way from her paradise in Puerto Rico to be beside me at my wedding. Check out her Airbnb at Bonita Mar Chaquita, my favorite place to relax.
Jennifer Jo Wienecken
Bridesmaid
We met as teens in Aptos, California. I was the older one with a car and license, but she convinced me to let her be the driver, as she needed practice. We spent many days at Seacliff beach or making Kahlua milkshakes at my parents and singing to Pat Benatar. She could sing, I couldn't and I loved watching her cringe as I tried. Through the years we've been pregnant at the same time and gone crazy together with our 7 kids so close in age. We've managed to stay close and visit (she lives in Oregon) and chat up the phone about our accomplishments and similar dilemmas. I love this girl for her hilarious personality and ability to make me laugh till I cry. This gifted lady has so many talents, I can't believe she's not famous! I'm always honored to be her friend.
Jeanette Marie Tillman
Bridesmaid
We met in Tahoe while still in high school. It wasn't long until I convinced her (with one-way tickets in hand) to move with me to Honolulu. We rented a studio, got jobs and we soon learned this wasn't anything like vacationing in a resort. We became content with the beach, our blender, a 24-hour bakery, and the city bus. Another perk was that the legal disco/drinking age was 18; we were in heaven. We've been through thick and thin (at times, literally) and share so much in common it's uncanny. This 3-time Tough Mudder is back living in Tahoe married to John, her high school flame, and working on a law degree. After the crazy rollercoaster life we've led apart from each other we're still Moo Cow & Lou Chow to each other. If I had a twin sister, it would be Jeanette!
