Kelsey Stanger
Jess always says that Kelsey was her frush (friend-crush).
When she met her in South Bend (Jess a reporter, Kelsey a producer) – she instantly thought, this girl is cool, and I really want to be friends with her.
She’s proud to say she manifested this into a lifelong friendship that has lasted through many moves (mostly on Kelsey’s part) and ended up with them finally living again in the same city.
Even though they’ve spent most of their friendship physically apart, Kelsey has shown time and again that she is the friend who always shows up – traveling for birthdays and the DC crew’s annual July 4th party.
She has also witnessed Jess and Taurean’s relationship form as a budding friendship in Indiana to true love in the nation’s capital.
She means so much to the Smarnolds, and they’re excited for her to be part of this special moment.
