Jenn and the bride met during a extracurricular summer program when they were 12 years old and have been best friends ever since. Jenn has been there for the bride through the most important events and challenges in her life and she is so lucky to have such a wonderful friend. Ms. Ruocco shares a love of cats, 90's alternative music and road trips with the bride. She hates the color green and love horror movies, unlike the bride. She is due with her baby boy a couple days after the wedding and is positive she will be there on the big day! Jenn credits herself as the reason the bride and groom met. Jen and Jenn were roommates and when Jen said she had a date and wasn't sure if she wanted to go, Jenn screamed at her telling her she better go and not to back out! It was her threats that led to Jen and Ryan's first date.

Gina is the bride's cousin. Their moms are sisters and grew up close to each other. Jennifer always says that Gina is like the sister she never had! Holidays were spent side by side with each other. The rebellious teenage years were a bonding time and many fun memories were created then. How many people can say that they have a theme song together? Well, Gina and Jen certainly do!

Gina is currently in her final year of nursing school and Jen is so extremely proud of her for pursuing her dream. Gina loves music and has the most eclectic taste of anyone you will ever meet. Jen loves her cousin so much that she endured two awful concerts with her (Bon Jovi and Lil Kim... yeah). Jen doesn't share her love of Bon Jovi with Gina and never will.

Mandi is the bride's oldest friend. They met on the first day of first grade at Mennies School. Mandi hates the story but Jen will gladly tell it (while Mandi mocks Jen's stylish 80's belt she was rocking that day). They spent every day together in the summers going back an forth from each other's house to play Barbies and riding bikes to the swimming pool. Jennifer had the honor of standing by Mandi's side for her wedding and is thrilled that she is returning the favor. Mandi credits herself as the reason Jen and Ryan's son Samuel was born (since Jen was forced to hold her daughter Aspyn at their housewarming party, and previously swore she would never have kids). Mandi loves cats just as much as the bride and was the first person Jen knew who had cats growing up. She is Disney obsessed and always dreaming of that next vacation to Disney World. She loves the name Gidget and spends her time trying to convince people to name their kids or cats that.

Jennifer and Ashlee met in 2002 when they worked together at Hot Topic. They were hired as part of the original employees at the store and spent weeks setting up the store together. After they began to talk they were convinced they were twins separated at birth. They both loved the same bands, the same favorite number (9), the color purple, the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas, and stars (the shape and the big burning balls of gas in the sky). Ashlee is one of the most kind hearted and genuine people you will ever meet. Her personality and humor are one of a kind and she will always leave you laughing.
