"Bride’s best friend and partner in crime and punishment. If you really really know the bride, you probably know her too—mostly because she’s the one who definitely helped come up with most of the bad decisions we can’t blame on tequila!"

"From schoolyard mischief to wedding day memories—who knew the girl who basically tutored me through every class and survived my awful math analogies would end up standing by my side as my bridesmaid? Oh wait… of course Flossie did. She's basically knows it all!"

"This beauty has been through it all with me, from working at the Ritz-Carlton to surviving the legendary Christmas Party of 2019 which we're still recovering from. That night was the start of a friendship that’s survived, bad decisions and too many shots of tequila. Amie’s known me longer than Shaun has, which means she’s seen all the awkward phases, and questionable dating choices. But through it all, she’s been the most enthusiastic cheerleader. She’s the friend who’ll turn up with dessert, gin, and also a speech ready to make everyone cry!"

"Shaun has known Willy since primary school. The friendship can be summarised in one sentence, "It's better for everyone, including themselves that they are apart" because whenever they were together, mischief was sure to follow. Despite this, they created some of the most memorable and hilarious moments of their lives. Willy is the closest thing to being a brother to Shaun. For the past 10 years, they have lived in separate countries, and despite that, they remain best friends."

"Jereme and Shaun first met in the New Zealand Army, where camaraderie was forged and apparently later on, real estate promises were made. Jereme later convinced Shaun to join him in Perth, promising a "ready room," which turned out to be… his room in a married couple's house. Cozy, right? Quirky setup aside, the experience was unforgettable. After hitting rock bottom a year later, Jereme returned to New Zealand, turned his life around, and now has a dream job, a beautiful home, wise investments, a loving fiancée, and three amazing kids. Talk about a glow-up! Their friendship continued over the years and conversations over stock market and how to get rich quick hasn’t stopped since. Shaun bets Jereme will one day be a famous CEO—with zero formal training!"

''Meet Anish, our amazing wedding celebrant! He’s been my friend since our school days and is like a little brother to me (the bride). Anish has mastered the art of wedding hosting, with more ceremonies under his belt than he probably has socks! His confidence, humor, and knack for making people laugh make him the perfect fit for our big day. Anish has seen us grow as a couple, traveling through India with us and surviving our disagreements over who gets the last samosa. He’s not just officiating; he’s bringing his unique blend of charm, wit, and dad jokes to make our ceremony unforgettable. We couldn’t imagine anyone better to kick off this party with style! 🥂🎉"

Though our sweet fur babies, Princess and Marley, can't join us in person on our special day, they’ll certainly be there in spirit! Princess the prettiest daddies girl, Marley with his regal charm and condescending meows, have been with us through thick and thin. They are our little sidekicks, and we wouldn’t want to celebrate this milestone without acknowledging how much they mean to us. Here's to our fur-ever babies, who are always in our hearts—today and always!
