Matron of Honor
Jessica and Rio met while teaching at Triple R Child Care. They were actually split up because they "talked too much" and didn't focus on work...(and who believes that, right?). Jessica and Rio have been inseparable ever since! From crafting on the weekends to traveling across the country to Disney World, nothing can separate the power duo.
