"I know you're worried to come out to your friends right now. But don't worry. They're gonna be your bridesmaids one day."
Cecilia Jeppsson, one of the bridesmaids from the viral photo, told BuzzFeed News that when Baldridge came out to her, she "didn't think it was a big deal at all."
"I told her I love her and support her always," Jeppsson said. "If you have a friend who is worried about coming out, make them feel loved and safe with you and show them you’ll have their back if anyone comments anything negative."
Ariane Harper, another bridesmaid, said that when Baldridge came out to her she had already secretly booked a flight to surprise her. "She mentioned she was seeing someone and all I could say was, 'Well, that’s going to work out well, because I’m coming to visit you and I can’t wait to meet her!'"
