Jessica & Derek

Wedding Party

We are thrilled to share our wedding party with all of our guests. Each member of this group holds an extra special place in our hearts. You will be sure to notice each groomsman has two ladies to escort down the isle. One of our modern twists :)

Kimberlee Freer "Kimi"

Maid of Honor

Kimi Freer is the bride's baby sister. They have been taking on this world together for over 27 years. Although Jess has 3 years on Kimi, it often appears that Kimi is the wiser of the duo. She is an old soul with a fierce side to keep everyone on their toes. It was a close race, but Derek has officially bumped Kimi to Jess's 2nd favorite human. Jess and Kimi have always had a close bond including fun, friendship and fierceness. During life's highs and lows, hurts and happiness, Kimi is always there.

Kellianne Bradshaw "Kelli"

Matron of Honor

Kellianne is the bride's older sister. Kelli and Jessica have been taking on this world together since the early 90s and it sure has been a wild ride. Growing up many believed Kelli and Jess were twins. They shared a room, clothes, friends and played on the same sports teams. At the time those things felt like a chore, but now we can see how truly special it is to have sisters. Kelli lives in North Carolina with her husband Jacob. Both Jess and Derek have enjoyed visiting them over the years and building their friendship in addition to the sisterhood.

Michaela Murphy "Mic"

Bridesmaid

Michaela has been in the bride's life since they were born in 1992. They grew up on Blackberry Street together. Michaela ventured out of Stamford NY to other schools but never stopped calling Stamford home. The lifelong bond got Mic and Jess through some of the most amazing and terrifying teenage years. Fast forward to their 30s and the connection hasn't changed a bit. Always there to pull one another up and to celebrate the most amazing times together.

Sara Barnes "Sara.B"

Bridesmaid

Sara came into the bride's life in the summer before 4th grade. Jess quickly realized Sara was a tornado that made everything in her path more fun. Sara and Jess got through the 4th grade and eventually graduated highschool together. Over the years Jess spent many nights at Sara's house as if it were her second home. The memories and stories are endless and have made both of them the women they are today. From NY to FL, no distance can hinder this forever friendship and bond.

Morgan McKeever "Morgy"

Bridesmaid

Morgan and the bride met freshman year at Siena College. It was an instant connection for these two. They quickly got into a great routine of spending nearly every afternoon together at school. Morgan is Jess's passenger princess and they wouldn't have it any other way. They love to slay any dance floor that comes in their path with their sick moves. Morgan introduced Jess to many other members of her bridal squad and she couldn't be more thankful the mini human became her forever friend. The memories they have created over the last 13 years are unforgettable and the laughs are endless.

Michelle O'Reilly "Shelly"

Bridesmaid

Michelle and the bride met the first week of freshman year at Siena orientation, they were hallmates. Michelle was the sweetest girl who knew so many friends after one day, Jess was impressed. Jess quickly became a part of Michelle's family while at Siena, her home away from home. Fast forward 13 years and Michelle is Jess's home away from home in Miami. They are blessed to share so many memories together as a growing family including her fur bestie, Emmy. Friends brought together by school, kept together as family by choice.

Rachel Wotherspoon "Raquel"

Bridesmaid

Rachel met the bride in 2015 when they both joined a kickball league. People had told Jess over the years that she really needed to meet Rachel. When the day finally came, Jess knew she had met her match with the girl who brought sliced lemons to kickball. It was an instant connection and became the kind of friendship you have forever. Over the past 8 years Rachel and Jess have lived together, vacationed together, hosted events together and truly been through it all. Rachel is an amazing friend and would do anything for Jess. She is a gem of a human and Jess couldn't imagine life without her Raquel.

Angela Dudley "Ang"

Bridesmaid

Ang and the bride met 2nd semester freshman year at Siena. Ang knew Jess as the girl in the satin robe that lived down the hall. It was time to get rooming assignments decided for the following year and Ang took a chance on Jess. Two very different people became the best of friends. Over the years Jess had the opportunity to become a part of Ang's family and couldn't be happier. Jess witnessed Ang meet her husband in Boston and grow her beautiful family. They don't get to spend time together frequently but when they do forever memories are made and everyone's faces need time to recover from smiling so much.

Stephanie Hayes Bruno "Steph"

Bridesmaid

Steph met the bride during her visits to see Morgan at Siena. It wasn't until after college that the two built a friendship that is now a deep daily connection. There is rarely a day that goes by where the two don't connect. Jess relies on Steph for her wise words and life advice regularly. Jess has been elated to watch Steph grow her family over the past few years. Through their times skiing Steph has been such a light in Jess's life and she couldn't imagine her days without her.

Meg has been a lifelong friend to Jess since the moment they met. It has always been an easy friendship that brought the most amazing smiles and memories. Meg is pure joy, but not afraid to tell it how it is. She is a ride or die and has her friends backs regardless of the situation. Jess is so thrilled to have met her and even more thrilled to have her in her corner. Meg is always onboard to have a good time and has an uncanny ability to make any bad situation brighter.

Maggie met the bride through their mutual friend Morgan in 2011. Maggie was an honorary Siena student and was a frequent flyer on campus. For the last 12 years Maggie and Jess have been close friends. Maggie and Jess share a bond more like sisters with the occasional eye roll, but more importantly with a friendship and love that will last a lifetime. They have always enjoyed their weekend visits to Marshalls and breakfast to prepare for the weekends events or unpack the happenings of the previous week. We can't forget they both share a love for soft serve with extra rainbow sprinkles.

Claire Reinfurt "Clarisse"

Bridesmaid

Claire met the bride during her visits to see Morgan at Siena. Jess and Claire remained acquaintances for a few years through their mutual girlfriends but really clicked after college when Jess lived in the Watervliet area. It was a clear bond of two people that loved to have fun, laugh and make memories with their friends. Between the trips to Boston and the best Saturday nights at Larry's Lounge there has always been dozens of great stories to tell. Claire has the most amazing heart and would do anything for her friends. Forever Clarisse Renaldi, Jess's queen.
