Wedding Party

Olivia Vest

Maid of Honor

Olivia is Elizabeth's identical twin, so their connection goes way back to when they were Womb-Mates. Elizabeth and Olivia (often confused with one another) can be 'told apart' because Elizabeth will be the one in the white dress. Elizabeth is so excited to share her biggest day with Olivia, which could not happen without her by her side.

Rebecca Riggins

Maid of Honor

Rebecca Riggins is the sister of Jennifer, and is the Maid of Honor of Jennifer in the bridal party. Rebecca is the one telling the hilarious jokes, and we are all blessed to be in her presence as she travels to us from one of the many city she lives in as a traveling surgical technician.
