Wedding Party
Jillian Roepe
Maid of Honor
Jill was one of the only people Kennedi enjoyed in high school. These two have been besties for 10+ years. Kennedi's mom had to help her message Jill on Facebook because she was too nervous. Jill's middle school Bump-It intimidated her. They enjoy drinking seltzers and playing Wii without having to speak to anyone except for each other. Even though they live very far away from each other, when they get together it's as if no time has passed.

Kennedi and Elouise met while working together. They immediately connected over beers and dips. Elouise and Kennedi kept each other company during the scary COVID times as they both lived alone.
