Jessica Szohr is singing the praises of Nina Dobrev, who was her maid of honor after Szohr married Brad Richardson, a former professional hockey player who played for the Vancouver Canucks. Szohr shared pictures from the wedding on Instagram and highlighted Dobrev’s post. She mentioned that Dobrev was the best maid of honor and expressed her deep gratitude for making the entire process enjoyable, including the most heartfelt and mature speeches.

“The best maid of honor!” Szohr captioned a carousel of pictures of Dobrev at the wedding. “I can’t thank you enough, Nina (sick in a good way)! You gave it your all – and I was so thrilled to have you by my side :)”

Szohr continued, “You were thoughtful and creative! You were charming and funny (as always)! You picked amazing locations and gave everyone such amazing gifts when we arrived 🙂 You’ve been with me through thick and thin for almost two decades… so thank you, thank you, Nina, for everything you’ve done during our friendship – but especially for all the wedding events ;)”

Nina Dobrev delivered a charismatic and hilarious performance as the maid of honor, despite dealing with personal challenges at the time, including a surgery, a movie premiere and a house under construction, as Jessica Szohr noted. Dobrev admitted the moment was overwhelming, and Szohr expressed her deep gratitude, particularly praising the excellent speech Dobrev delivered. Szohr also appreciated the vibrant energy Dobrev brought to the wedding.

“You have outdone yourself… you survived surgery, released a movie, renovated a house and still been such an amazing friend through it all. Seriously – I love you more than you will ever know!” Szohr wrote, adding that Dobrev’s speech at the recording was “next level.”

“You just continued to provide us with lots of energy and joy 😉 Thank you, sister,” she added.

Szohr wore three different outfits by Galia Lahav, including the stunning “Tokyo” dress.
