Janessa James aka “Bridesmaid of the year”

Bridesmaid Of The Year Epic Photo Goes Viral

Janessa James is a Brigham Young University student and has become a wedding expert as she was able to attend not only a few but twelve weddings as a bridesmaid.

She became "bridesmaid of the year" when she had a photo that went viral on the internet which made her an internet star.

Janessa has been a bridesmaid 12 times.

Janessa made a heroic move to save her friend Amy Lewis' wedding photo, but it was just a little too late. She tried her best to jump out of the frame while Amy and her husband were doing their photo shoots.

The photographer asked Janessa to lift Amy's train. It was planned as a romantic picture with the bride’s dress billowing in the wind, but the air then gets out of the shot and so Janessa did just that with a little flair.

Janessa said she did her best to dodge out of the shot and flailed in the air, hitting the ground.

“I’m always happy to help.”

“It was so cold that day. I knelt in the snow and hid under the veil. Eventually, I dove into a bunch of leaves trying to get the floating dress look", she said.

Janessa said about her many bridesmaid roles, “I’m always happy to help. I’ve performed original raps, yelled at incompetent staff, put together cakes and bouquets, calmed down the families, run to get ice and food. I’ve done just about everything.

Thank you for sharing this funny yet beautiful photo! You are really indeed a good friend, Janessa!
