Jessica & Sarah
Wedding Party
Chandra Giddings
Maid of Honor
Chandra has been Jessica's best friend since they were both 3! Or 4? Literally too early to remember. Multiple cross country moves by both girls hasn't been able to dampen their friendship.
Hannah Bossier
Maid of Honor
Introducing, Sarah's twin and or womb-mate if you will. Sarah got to stand next to Hannah on her wedding day 8 whole years ago and now they get to flip roles! She's probably thinking, "It's about damn time!". She is one of Sarah's biggest supporters and cheerleaders. They are and will always be sisters but above all, they're best friends.
Sarah Blyth-Stephens
Bridesmaid
Sarah is Jessica's sister. Jessica likes to say that since they didn't grow up in the same house but became close in adulthood, they are sisters by choice, not just blood, which is even more special.
Amanda Seal
Bridesmaid
Amanda is Sarah's older sister. She has always played a fun and protective role in her sister's lives. Although, she probably hated being the chauffeur and having her two younger sisters tag along at her feet back then, you couldn't pay them to leave each other alone today.
Lacy Davillier
Bridesmaid
Lacy and Jessica met as Welcome Week captains at NYU. They were fast friends who drifted apart, only to reconnect and become close yet again after Jessica moved to Texas, nearby Lacy's hometown of New Orleans!
Tracy Jorgensen
Bridesmaid
Sarah's amazing best friend. Tracy has been through many events in Sarah's life. Good and bad. Her friendship has never wavered and she is and has always been there. Anyone who has someone like Tracy to call their best friend is lucky. It's a once in a lifetime kind of friendship!
Nani Rao
Bridesmaid
Nani and Jessica met in residency. They braved the wards together and both came out stronger on the other side, Nani is now an MIS surgeon way up North, and even just had a baby, but that wouldn't stop her from being there for this milestone!
Nicol (Nikki) VanSchoubroek
Bridesmaid
Nikki has been working with Sarah in the OR for the last 5 years. She is such a sweet and down to Earth soul. She's been one of Sarah and Jessica's biggest supporters from the very start. She's a do anything for anyone kind of girl. There's no doubt that she is going to keep this wedding party smiling and laughing until it hurts.
Mariana Jantz
Bridesmaid
Mariana and Jessica met once she moved to Texas. She couldn't stay away and just married her own Texas bred soulmate a couple weeks ago! She's a lawyer here in Houston and is the only Bridesmaid who didn't have to fly here!
Shanice Albrecht
Bridesmaid
Shanice is Sarah's little ball of fun. She is a stranger to no one with the biggest heart. These two cannot be near one another without laughing the entire time. If you want them to be serious..you have the wrong duo. This sometimes means trouble at work. This is another friendship that Sarah wouldn't trade for the world.
Sasha Slipak
Bridesman
Sasha is a fellow colorectal surgeon who has been there for Jessica through thick and thin and just married his own Prince Charming! They memorably trekked the Grand Canyon together (with a tour group) in the midst of Covid.
Nathan Howlett
Bridesman
Nathan and Sarah met in the 8th grade when Nathan and his family moved to Texas. They were friends from day one. So many, if not all memories from those days include Nathan. He's so loved by Sarah and her family to this day. He's a veterinarian living states away but distance won't stop him from tearing up the floor on Sarah's big day.
Amanda Edmiston
Honorary Bridesmaid
Amanda moved to town a few years ago and was the intimidating, new OR nurse in the department (she knew her shit). It didn't take long for the two to click on a work and friendship level. It's been history ever since. Amanda is not just a friend. She's another sister. She will be VERY pregnant a the wedding so she is a Bridesmaid in spirit!
