The Bridesmaids
Leea Bridgeman
(Bridesmaid)
Leea is my 1st sister-in-law and the wife of my brother Ryan. Ryan and Leea met in 2009 and very quickly became one of the family. Leea has been a huge help from the very beginning of our wedding planning, sharing many well-earned secrets from the planning of her own. Recently, Leea and Ryan welcome Emerson Anna Bridgeman into the world and made me a proud aunt.
Lauren Bridgeman
(Bridesmaid)
Lauren is my cousin on my Dads side of the family. She is one year older and probably the closest I had to an older sister growing up. I received all her hand-me-downs which were great because she has a great since of style! She currently became a proud home-owner, and I couldn't be more excited to have her be a part of my big day.
Jennifer Fucci
(Bridesmaid)
Jen and I met while studying abroad in Cyprus. She lived in the same apartment building as I did but one floor above me. One of my favorite memories from oversees is Jen and our other dear friend Courtney watching the sunset behind the Eifel Tower in Paris. Jen also has two older brothers so we share a common “baby girl” mentality.
Damira Rasheed
(Bridesmaid)
Damira and I also met during my time in Cyprus. But our traveling has not stopped there. We have continued to take many trips together. With have shared many experiences shared and countless lessons learned, such as negotiating skills to get past any line. As we have gotten older, our trips together have expanded to include Greg and Damira's boyfriend Christian. If you look at our pictures, and you think that we resemble each other, you would not be the first. Many people think we are sisters, which only brings us closer as friends.
Rhonda Bridgeman
(Bridesmaid)
Rhonda is my newest sister-in-law and my brother Justin’s longtime sweetheart. Rhonda and I both share a passion for cooking, and recently became Chicago-area neighbors. Rhonda's gifts of singing and dancing will definetely come in handy during our big wedding weeekend.
Alissa Calomino
(Bridesmaid)
I met Alissa the first year I moved to Chicago through my friendship with Kirsten. Our friendship has continued to strengthen each year, but its biggest moment yet may have been the night that I met Greg. Alissa helped convince me to meet her out Memorial Day weekend, and my life hasn't been the same since.
Katie Kessler
(Bridesmaid)
Katie and I met in Kirsten’s old apartment Halloween night my first year in Chicago. From that point on we have enjoyed many roadtrips to INDY and sitting on her couch talking about life. Katie is also engaged to a wonderful guy named Chris. Knowing that she also understands all the stress of wedding planning has only strengthed our friendship more.
Kirsten Reynolds
(Bridesmaid)
Kirsten was my 1st friend in Chicago. We met one random yet amazing day at a Cubs Game when I first moved to Chicago. She saw how lonely I was at the game, so she decided to introduce herself and we became instant friends. Kirsten and I share a love for travel, food, and BCBG dresses. My friendship with Kirsten has led to many more connections in Chicago, and for that I am forever grateful.
