Bridal Party 🥂
Jessica Klassen
Bridesmaid
I met Jessica in 2018 when working at a spin studio. My car got broken into and they stole my cycle shoes, she immediately offered to let me borrow her cycle shoes and her kindness to an almost stranger was unwavering. From that day on I can’t even remember how but we just became best friends. Jessica is the most selfless and loyal person I’ve met. She’s a mother to two incredible boys and I have enjoyed watching her raise them over the last couple years, she embodies everything I want to be in a mother. Jessica is the person who let me sleep on her couch through some of my darkest seasons so I wouldn’t be alone. Jessica is the first person I call when I have something to share, when I need an outing or when I need a shoulder to cry on. She’s the friend for absolutely everything. I am forever blessed to call Jessica my bestie and Aaliyah’s Auntie.
Danielle Walker
Bridesmaid
Danielle and I met through Jessica. Danielle and Jessica have been friends for almost 20 years and that speaks to the type of people they are. Just like Jessica Danielle is selfless. Danielle is my “logical” friend when I need advice on financial or life altering decisions she is who I call. Danielle is incredibly smart and is successful in her career and she is a business owner. I admire watching her work ethic and drive everyday. My favorite weekends are spent with Danielle working weddings or events for her bubble bar. Danielle is the one who pushes me out of my comfort zone especially when it comes to food, she likes to fine dine and I enjoy chicken tenders. I love going to dinner with Danielle because it makes me try restaurants or food I typically wouldn’t try. Danielle literally travels more than I do as a flight attendant and my favorite hobby is seeing where her little character is on the find my friends app! Danielle is my friend who calls me closer to Jesus. We spend Sundays at church together followed by brunch and I am forever grateful to have her by my side when I make my commitment to Ryan through Christ.
Tahnee McLean
Bridesmaid
COVID Tahnee and Gabby would laugh so hard if we knew where we’d end up 7 years later. So glad we’re here now! I met Tahnee just right before the world shut down in 2020. Once again Jessica introduced us. Tahnee had been working in Alaska and I always heard her name but hadn’t met her yet. The day I met Tahnee it felt like I had met my long lost sister. She felt like the couple year older version of me. Man! We have some stories to tell to our kids that they’ll never believe. Tahnee always called me her little sister and she always treated me as such, like family. She was always the first to bring my name up in rooms of opportunity and defend my name in rooms I wasn’t in. I too am protective over Tahnee, on her first date with her now husband I ran into them in the middle of their date and let’s just say tipsy Gabby had some things to say to her date to make sure he treated her right and understood her value because she’s unlike anyone I’ve met before. I’m honored to share the same wedding anniversary with Tahnee and her now husband ( from that first date).
