As promised, a full round-up of everyone Simone has claimed is her "bestie" or "best friend".
One major trend to notice is that Simone almost cannot attend a wedding without claiming that she is "so privileged to watch her best friends marry their best friends" or similar. At this point, she's claimed the married couple as her "best friends" so many times, that the few weddings she's attended without stating that they are her best friends really stand out, and you have to wonder what those people did wrong to not be elevated to Bestie status for the day at least.
