A Friendship Sealed by a Thread of Love and Dedication
The remarkable bond between Kimberly Brown and Lacey Chabert has remained strong over the years. Their friendship dates back to when they were children and had first broken into the industry. Just last month, Chabert outpoured her affection by throwing a grand bridal shower for Brown. She expressed her admiration for her dear friend via Instagram, revealing how their bond enriches her life since her early years.
Reconnecting Years After Playing Co-Stars
Interestingly, Brown and Kountz first crossed paths in 2001 during the filming of the Disney Channel’s “Halloweentown II.” Although the two maintained contact after the film, they didn’t rekindle their bond until 2016. Brown invited Kountz to make a guest appearance on her YouTube channel. Little did they know that their reunion would eventually culminate in a romantic relationship, as both confessed to People.
Between Acting Stints and Commitments
Following “Halloweentown II,” Brown worked on multiple projects, notably the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie “My Sister’s Keeper” and in popular soap operas like “Guiding Light” and “General Hospital.” Kountz, on the other hand, juggles between his acting gigs and his day job as a realtor in Los Angeles. His most recent project is the 2022’s “God of War: Ragnarök.”
Glamorous Wedding Guests
Among those gracing the event were celebrities from various fields. The star-studded guest list included “Bachelorette” alum Ali Fedotowsky, “The Bold and the Beautiful” actress Ashley Jones, Missi Pyle of “Harlan Coban’s Shelter”, “8 Simple Rules” alum Amy Davidson, and actress Judith Hoag, who played Brown’s mother in the original “Halloweentown.”
Echoing Love and Friendship
Lacey Chabert and the sister of the groom served as the bridesmaids, while Brown’s own sister was the matron of honor. The palpable camaraderie and shared history between Brown and Chabert were evident throughout the wedding festivities. Brown took to Instagram to thank her dear friend for the beautiful bridal shower, further highlighting the strength and love in their friendship.
Future Endeavors
Post-wedding, the couple plans to travel the world together while continuing their appearances at fan conventions. These appearances include Galaxy Con held in Raleigh, North Carolina, and a “Halloweentown” cast reunion at the Smokey Mountain Fan Convention.
Meanwhile, Hallmark Media announced that Lacey Chabert is set to star in a new unscripted series named “Celebrations with Lacey Chabert.” Dubbed as an event planning show where she crafts “celebrations of a lifetime,” the program is set to premiere in late 2024.
