Maid of Honor
Kelly is Kim's sister and they are polar opposites of one another. Kelly never had a hair out of place, and Kim wore a messy bun. Kelly is an early riser while Kim needs to be dragged out of bed by her hair to make it anywhere early on time. However, despite their differences, they have a lot in common, and Kim always asks for and trusts Kelly's opinion on most things. As they became adults, they became one another's best friend.

Kaylee found Kim through Facebook before college and asked to be roommates because she looked "normal." Kim found Kay to be very bubbly, talkative, and smiley ... unlike herself.

Kim and Elaine met in college. Elaine was friends with Tricia from Syracuse, so when Kim and Kay started becoming friendly with Tricia, they became friendly with Elaine as well.

Joe met Jimmy through Mike. Their relationship was built on Joe and Jimmy constantly challenging one another to do things, like walking 60 miles in 24 hours.

They were the 2 brunettes of the 4 friends and always stuck together.
