Bride's Side
-
Kelly ParmetMatron of honorWe shared a womb, room, cell phone, and car together. Now we're sharing wedding planning together! Not only my identical twin sister, but my best friend. Kelly was my original sidekick before John came along. -
Jamie BrodBridesmaidThe only bright side to Freshman PE class was meeting Jamie and I've never looked back. Jamie helped get me through many long runs during our cross country team days. You could always find the two of us driving around in Jamie's penny colored 4runner or playing late night games of swirly broom in the park, but some of my favorite moments are just sitting in Jamie's room, cranking up music and talking about anything and everything until late into the night. -
Diana EllisBridesmaidMy very first college friend and next door neighbor in the dorms. From London to New York and DC, Diana has visited me in every city I've lived in. We share a love for watching hours of Lost together, travel and cup-o-noodles. Always smiling and laughing, you can count on Diana for a piece of chocolate and party props. -
Stacey KleinBridesmaidStacey's shining face was the first thing I saw when I walked through the NBC doors on my first day of work. Within 30 minutes of knowing each other, we had already found a mutual friend. My morning workout buddy, party planner, mani/pedi partner, chef, and co-pickle lover. I can always count on Stacey for a hearty laugh over a glass of wine. -
Jenny KrautBridesmaidJohn's friend first (since middle school), but she soon stole my heart. My music guru and fellow Gleek. Jenny appreciates NBC's Brian Williams more than most. I know who to call if I ever want some Dim Sum seeing as the staff at Ping Pong is starting to recognize us. Always the DJ at a party, you'll find her near the speakers dancing the night away.
-
Sarah PierceBridesmaidFriends since high school, Sarah and I became close in chemistry class. We spent a semester in London where we had the chance to travel to Rome together. After graduation, we both moved to New York until I left her for DC. She can out Martha Stewart me any day! Sarah's on speed dial if I ever have a TV trivia question. -
Elissa RiesenfeldBridesmaidKnown as Kelly and my's other half. She's the triplet I never had. People would always ask if we were sisters and our high school chemistry teacher could never tell us apart. Together, we were known for rocking ties to class in high school (Averil Lavigne style) and always having the best costumes for dances. You could most likely find us at the bagel shop or dollar store together. -
Shay ShippBridesmaidMy sister from another mister! She's gaining the Parmet name just as I'm leaving it behind. The only person I know that loves wine and guacamole as much as I do!
