bridesmaids

Jessi Dildy

Jenn and Jessi met in tenth grade in high school when they both decided to join the girls rugby team. With Jessi as a prop and Jenn as scrum half, there was just no stopping them. Maybe because their relationship began with rugby, Jenn and Jessi have been tackling each other ever since. Jessi currently lives in Victoria with her hubby, Clifton, and is working as a teacher in both the Saanich and Victoria school districts.

Kiki Tegelberg

Redheads are just naturally drawn to each other... or at least that's what Jenn & Kiki tell themselves. Jenn and Kiks met through Jessi back in the days of crazy youth group games and the like. The two of them together are just absolutely nuts. They both enjoy running around being incredibly loud, as only redheads can (and yes, Jenn's hair technically counts as red - check her drivers license). Kiki is currently working in Nicaragua and will return from her stint as a missionary photographer/website developer at the beginning of June 2008.

Janine Standerwick

As you can see, Janine & Jenn are nuts when they're together. The two of them met during Janine's days as a youth at South Delta Baptist Church. From grade 7 on, Jenn was Janine's youth leader, tutor, and clothes-stealer extrordinaire. If you're on the look-out for either of them, check the IHOP on the side of the highway in Richmond - they often hangout and talk about life over pancakes. Janine just finished her first year of Sciences at UBC and will be returning next year to continue her degree.

Leslie Wiebe

Leslie and Jenn met in the halls of the VST dorms in first year university. They believe it was a power failure in the chemistry building that first drew them together (Jenn ran outside to find Leslie when the power came on - thus saving the day! Or so she says...) and they've been tight ever since. Jenn and Les lived together the following year in a basement suite while they attended their second year at UBC, but after that year Leslie moved back to Winnipeg to complete her Bachelor of Science in Psych. Leslie is currently completing her Master's degree in Occupational Therapy at the University of Manitoba, and so Jenn and Les only see each other when Jenn braves the cold and treks out to Winnipeg or Leslie stops over in beautiful Vancouver for a visit.


Rachel Li

Rachel and Jenn met while clad in spandex at Delta Gymnastics back when they were about seven years old. They've pretty much been attached at the hip since then as attended the same elementary school, high school and university until Rach ventured off to the University of Cape Town to complete her Master's Degree in Philosophy in HIV/AIDS and society. Rach and Jenn also grew up in the same gymnastics club and on the same rowing and cheerleading teams (although Rachel will tell you that she got dragged into the later). Even though Rachel is Chinese, people often get Rachel and Jenn mixed up (remember, attached at the hip) because they act and talk quite similarly (except when Rachel returns from foreign countries with strange accents).
