Jessica has been the bride's best friend ever since they met in 1998 while both living in the Zura Hall dorm at San Diego State University.  Jessica has the natural ability to charm anyone with her smile and bright personality, which is one of many things Kristen has always admired about her. Kristen and Jessica have remained close despite living in different states, and they always seem to be on the same wavelength no matter how much distance separates them. The bride and her bestie have been to Mexico together many times, and Kristen can't wait to have Jessica by her side in Mexico once again!

Robin is the bride's little sister. She is a very talented artist, and a loving mom to a beautiful cat named Ted. Although there's a nine year age difference between the sisters, they have a very close relationship. In 2011, Kristen convinced Robin to move to Arizona with her, which has allowed them to bond even more. Robin used to think she was bad luck for Kristen's relationships, due to a series of coincidences where things would fizzle out shortly after Robin had met her big sister's new beau. When Kristen and Scott began dating, Robin did her best to avoid him for fear of ruining things. At the time, Kristen and Robin lived in apartments two doors down from each other, and one night Scott ran into Robin in the stairway. Scott still remembers the look on Robin's face when she realized there was nowhere to hide! Fortunately it turned out that Robin wasn't bad luck after all.

Lisa is a friend of the bride. She and her husband Chris live in Northern California. Lisa is a truly sweet and kind hearted person, and Kristen is proud to have her as a friend. Kristen and Lisa met in college. Although they were living in San Diego at the time, they discovered that they were both born at the same hospital in the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance, CA. They took this as a sign that they were meant to be friends. Kristen and Lisa have been there for each other through life's ups and downs over the years, and Kristen is so happy that Lisa will be with her when she marries Scott.

Jacob is one of the bride's best friends, and her longest friendship. He lives in Southern California close to where he and Kristen grew up, and is an elementary school teacher. Jacob and Kristen have been friends since high school. They met in 1994 in their freshman Spanish I class, and developed a close friendship when they had the same English class in senior year. During college, they would take turns driving to each other's schools to visit, and post-college they have been roommates a couple times over the years. High school friends often grow apart, but Jacob and Kristen have just as much in common now as they did back then. Kristen loves Jacob's sense of humor and the long conversations they have about everything and nothing. Kristen couldn't imagine her big day without Jacob in her entourage, and she is so glad that it is now common for the bridal party to include bridesmen!
