Wedding Party
Maria Smids
Co-Maid of Honour
Maria is one of Jessie’s dearest friends, a connection that blossomed instantly when they met at church shortly after Jessie’s move to Chatham in early 2024. They have been inseparable ever since and as many of you know, their bond is the kind of rare, fast friendship that feels like it was always meant to be. Maria is a true light, she is a constant source of encouragement, unwavering support, and infectious joy. Her positivity makes every moment brighter, and Jessie feels so deeply blessed to have such a kind and fun spirited friend walking alongside her during this beautiful season of celebration.
Hannah Brown
Co-Maid of Honour
Hannah isn't just Jessie’s longest-running friend; their bond literally began at birth. Born in the same hospital room just 16 hours apart, they have been inseparable ever since. From childhood tea parties at Grandma’s and shared birthday celebrations to summers at camp and adult road trips, they have navigated every season of life together. Hannah is the definition of a loyal and caring friend, and it is only fitting that she stands by Jessie’s side for this next great chapter.
Nicole Tebokkel
Bridesmaid
Nicole is one of Jessie’s closest friends, a bond that began on their very first day as dorm-mates at Redeemer University. Known for her adventurous spirit and "down for anything" attitude, Nicole brings a spark of excitement to every moment. Whether they’re road-tripping to a new city, hunting for treasures in thrift stores, or getting lost in a local plant shop, time spent with Nicole is always a highlight. She has a rare gift for leaving people feeling uplifted and positive, and Jessie is so incredibly grateful to have such a supportive friend by her side for this special day.
Joelle McCann
Bridesmaid
Joelle is Jessie’s sister-in-law and has been a big part of her life since Jessie was fifteen. Jo brings so much laughter and fun to every family event, and she is a constant source of encouragement. She is someone Jessie has always looked up to, especially for her discipline and the way she carries herself with such strength and grace. Jo is one of the most supportive women Jessie knows, and she couldn’t imagine celebrating these special days without her by her side.
