The "With You" crooner, 33, has kept a tight-knit circle of friends and family through the years. While Yahoo Celebrity didn't score an invite, here are a couple of peeps who probably did. Don't forget to keep an eye on their social media accounts in case they share a sneak peek of the wedding festivities.
Father of the Bride, Joe Simpson, aka "Papa Joe": The 56-year-old former youth pastor was best known as Jessica and Ashlee Simpson's dad and manager until he made headlines of his own in 2012 when his his wife of 34 years, Tina Simpson, filed for divorce citing "discord or conflict of personalities" and rumors swirled that he was gay. While Papa Joe hasn't officially come out, he has been seen working as an agent for several very hunky young models, including Scotland-bred Jonathan Keith. The question is: Will Papa Joe bring a date to Jessica's wedding?
Mother of the Bride, Tina Simpson: Since splitting with Papa Joe, Tina, 54, has kept a low profile and works primarily on Jessica's many businesses, including her Jessica Simpson Collection clothing and accessories lines. She also regularly travels with her daughters for business.
CaCee Cobb, BFF: Jessica's former personal assistant and longtime BFF surely will play a part in this weekend's nuptials in some capacity. Jessica served as bridesmaid to CaCee at her 2013 nuptials to Scrubs star Donald Faison and the pair became mothers around the same time. CaCee is Maxwell's godmother.
Stephanie McGuire Terblanche, BFF: Cacee isn't Jess's only childhood pal that's turned into a lifelong friend. Stephanie and Jess go way back and Stephanie appeared on both Jessica and Ashlee's reality shows. She is still a regular on Jess's Instagram and now their offspring are carrying their friendship torch; Jessica's daughter Maxwell and Terblanche's son, both 2, are becoming mini-pals. Perhaps there will be a wedding in their future, too?
Nicole Chavez, Stylist: Simpson's stylist is bound to be on hand as Jess gets her wedding weekend wardrobe ready. Simpson has called Chavez her "style inspiration" and has enlisted her fashion help for events like the Forbes Women's Summit and various events. Chavez's son is also one of Maxwell's playmates.
Odette and Dave Annable, Friends: The Red Band Society star and his wife, Two and a Half Men actress, Odette, will likely score an invite to the nuptials since Odette is close with Jess. The gals even shared a sexy smooch together in March.
Jenny and Tom Everhart, Friends: Tom, an artist living in Venice Beach, California, and his wife, Jenny, have been longtime pals of Jessica and Eric. In fact, the betrothed pair spent their fourth anniversary together at Tom's art gallery and posted a sweet snap in front of one of his works. Follow Tom.
Ashlee Simpson, Sister of the Bride: Jessica's sister Ashlee, 29, may be participating as a bridesmaid this weekend and — fingers crossed — her adorable son, Bronx Mowgli, 5, will be a ring bearer. She's also prepping for a wedding of her own to Evan Ross.
Evan Ross, Future Brother-in-Law: The 25-year-old musician is the son of legendary soul singer Diana Ross and will be joining the Simpson family when he marries Ashlee later this year.
Mindy Weiss, The Planner:
The veteran celebrity event and wedding planner will be putting
together Jessica and Eric's dream day. Weiss, who has planned weddings
for Nicole Richie and Joel Madden and Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de
Rossi, also coordinated the Simpson's baby shower before the birth of
her son, Ace Knute.
