Jess’s first best friend, biggest supporter and the one who’s been there through every stage of life. Standing beside her today as both mum and matron of honour makes this moment even more special.

The groom’s brother, living proof that distance doesn’t weaken a sibling rivalry. Flying in from New Zealand to keep the groom in line.

Jess’s Cousin/Best Friend, unofficial therapist and strong believer that every problem can be solved with wine.

Friend of the groom for 14 years, travelling from the UK and famous for terrible dad jokes and mid-party naps.

Jess’s best friend and the one who brought Jess and James together. Lover of Emu Export, keeper of secrets, and guaranteed to end up on the dance floor if the DJ plays WAP.

Bonded over good food and metal music, the one James turns to when he needs some actual decent advice… which is more often than he’d like to admit.

Friends with James for over 20 years and somehow both still standing. Partners in crime back in the day, now slightly more responsible… slightly.
