Hollywood friendships are usually about as stable as a Wi-Fi signal during a thunderstorm, glitchy, unreliable, and prone to sudden drops. But then there is Nina Dobrev and Jessica Szohr, whose friendship has quietly outlasted every reboot, remake, and canceled pilot. As Szohr’s anniversary rolls around, social media is reminded that some bonds are less for the gram and more for life. 

While Hollywood friendships vanish faster than trending hashtags, Dobrev’s calming support at Szohr’s big moment reveals the real backbone behind lasting bonds.

Jessica Szohr’s anniversary today is more than just a date on the calendar; it is a love letter to friendship. Nina Dobrev reposted Szohr’s wedding day story on Instagram, where the bride, glowing and nervous, shared a backstage moment. “Right after this photo Nina looked and said ‘deep breath you got this.’ Those 5 words meant more than anyone will know. Even you Neens,” Szohr captioned, summoning the kind of support only a maid of honor and lifelong confidante can deliver.

Nearly two decades into their friendship, Nina Dobrev was not merely a guest at Jessica Szohr’s four-day wedding extravaganza in Flagstaff, Arizona; she was the maid of honor. And no, she did not just show up for the cake. From wild bachelorette parties to spontaneous weekend getaways, these two have built a friendship playlist longer than most chart-topping artists’ catalogs. After the wedding, Szohr thanked Dobrev on Instagram as “the best MOH,” a title earned with style and dedication.

While most celebrity friendships fade faster than viral trends, Dobrev and Szohr’s journey, from iconic TV roles to real-life milestones, proves loyalty deserves more than just likes.

Their friendship kicked off when barely-legal Nina Dobrev was busy slaying vampires on The Vampire Diaries, and Jessica Szohr was serving Gossip Girl vibes with zero chill. Over the years, they have documented everything from birthday shoutouts to “woman crush Wednesday” tributes, proving that friendship posts can be both nostalgic and iconic. Dobrev even showed up for Szohr when she gave birth to her daughter in 2021, because true friendship is literally showing up, no buffering.

 Jessica Szohr and Brad Richardson’s wedding was a star-studded four-day fiesta with 150 guests, including notables like Chace Crawford and Shaun White. But it was Nina Dobrev’s presence as maid of honor that stole the narrative, blending Hollywood glam with heartfelt loyalty. Because when you have a friendship that spans decades, a wedding is less about the altar and more about the shared memories, inside jokes, and those five simple words that say it all.
