Hannah Stokes - Maid of Honour
Hannah and I met only a few years ago when she became my hairdresser, we instantly became best friends. Hannah is truly one of a kind and someone I am endlessly grateful for. She has been by my side through every high and every low. Her love, honesty and unwavering support helped me grow into the version of myself that you see today. She brings light into every room she enters, and life is simply better with her in it. I couldn’t imagine this journey without her by my side.
Julia Hall - Bridesmaid
Julia and I became friends through work, we instantly hit it off and our friendship grew more and more. Julia is like lavender. Calming, comforting and quietly powerful. The kind of soul who brings peace and joy just by being present. She is steady in storms, gentle in moments of doubt and endlessly supportive in every season of life. Having her by my side is one of the greatest gifts.
Georgia Jeromin - Bridesmaid
Georgia is my sister in-law, she welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like family from the moment we met. I've had the joy of watching her grow from a 15-year-old full of teenage hormones into a beautiful mum of 3. Georgia is kind, gentle, loves fiercely, and has a heart that puts everyone else first. We have shared countless laughs over the years, along with a few questionable movie nights. She made me an aunty, a role I treasure more than she knows. I'm so grateful to have her as part of my family and to be by my side on our big day.
Emma Nicholson - Bridesmaid
Emma and I have been best friends for 20 years, our friendship blossomed in year 8 and we have been attached since. I moved back to SA while she stayed in NT and our friendship has never stopped growing. I truly can’t imagine my life without Emma. She has the most beautiful soul and has been there for me through all the phases of my life, the good, messy and everything in between. Her loyalty, kindness and support mean so much to me. I’m grateful to have her by myside on our big day.
Ben Coulter - Best Man
My brother in-law and best man is loud, hilarious and impossible to miss... in the best way. We became friends as teenagers bonding over cars, long conversations and plenty of laughs and beers. What started as a shared interest quickly grew into a genuine friendship, and over the years he became more like a brother than an in-law. He's been there for it all, always keeping things entertaining, and I couldn't imagine standing at the alter without him by my side.
Nate Oakes - Groomsmen
Nate is our son and one of my groomsmen. He is funny, kind and has a heart of gold. He is my greatest achievement, and brings light, warmth, and laughter to every room he walks into, along with a teenage attitude. Nate's always making us laugh with his cheeky humour and jokes. Having him stand beside me on this day means more than words can describe.
Luke Girdler - Groomsman
Luke is my best friend and one of my groomsmen. We've been best mates since we became neighbour's at four years old, which means we have spent a lifetime getting into mischief and somehow surviving it. From scrapped knees to motorbikes and late night mischief we grew up side by side, bonding over, dirt bikes, one to many beers, music and questionable decisions. despite his size Luke is a true gentle giant with a heart of gold, loyal, kind and someone i couldn't imagine this day without.
Benny Girdler - Groomsman
Benny is my best friend and one of my groomsmen. We've been mates since becoming neighbour's at four years old, which means a lifetime of loud laughs, late night chats, dirt bike rides and more trouble than we should admit. Bennys loud, hilarious, a gentle giant. As we got older our friendship only grew stronger, he's someone I can always count on. From questionable ideas to unforgettable stories, Benny has been there through it all and I couldn't imagine this day without him by my side.
