Rebecca & Simon

Soph has one of the biggest hearts I have ever met. On a dark night in London is where our story begins- we bonded over our hatred for people not doing their jobs properly! Since then she has been in my life as a councillor, mentor, hairdresser, shot buddy and most of all a loyal friend. The first one of us too snag a good man- she set the trend for healing through Love. Having had the honour too be her bridesmaid- I now put the honour on her.

Small in stature but loud in life. Chels is the Proud mother of 2 children I claim as my own. Her eldest Isla is joining her mum down the aisle as our littlest bridesmaid. Although you may see her nervously standing by the wall- don’t be fooled this tiny terror can boogie with the best. Chels has been in my life since the dark days and we have supported each other as mothers and friends. We love a good gossip and along with her mum we always have a good cackle.

Where do I even begin….there are no words that could ever do justice too this incredible women. Friend is an understatement so I will quote our favourite phrase “Platonic Soulmate.” Magic was the first true friend I have ever had. Long before even Simon was in my life- she is funny and silly, she will curse you for crossing her but give you every part of her heart if you don’t. She is my rock, my vault and my very best friend and I am honoured and proud too have her stand with me on my wedding day.

Excuse the picture it was a long time ago but difficult too find an updated one where he’s not playing golf- David has been Simon’s best mate since the womb. Literally! Born 4 days apart they have always found themselves in each others life. Something few people understand is a true Bromance but these two have it. David has always been there for every life changing moment in Simon’s life. They have shared in the joy of becoming fathers. Through good and bad relationships-he has always been there. So who else could stand as the best man? Well there was a list but they were all busy that day- so here’s too David! 🍻

Our Photographer Ladies and Gentlemen! Pocket rocket too the core- imagine a Yorkshire terrier- now give it sugar…yep that’s Our Katie. The only person I’ve ever met who is more impulsive than me. Katie has been our photographer before but today she’s official. Katie is the proud mother of a beautiful little girl and a son who was the inspiration for boss baby! When she orders you in for a photo don’t argue she is a trained bouncer and MMA fighter. Standing a whopping 2 foot 4 and looking like she’s still in school she is kind caring funny and very very good with a camara. Although there is an almost 13 year ages gap we connect on a level many can’t- we have great ideas when others don’t see them. She is a beautiful soul and we are so happy too show off her skills

Original munchkin/ squisher/ JT (butthead too his sister). He answers too many a nickname but will always be my first baby. Although he spends his day calling me bruh and often interacts when he wants money- this young man has always been my best friend. We started life on a rainy Tuesday night- he slept he barely cried and gave me a false sense of security that I was doing well- so I had 3 more. All four are very different kids but the bond I have with my eldest will always be different. He made me a mum and although I didn’t always get it right we have grown up together and I am very proud of the responsible and kind person he has become. He has a special role in our day( which you will have too wait and see). Love you Peanut

Shane…the first of our Green Flag Men. From day one you have been a safe space. You are straight forward and understanding. You’ve never judged me for who I am or what I do. This BFG is sarcastic and loves nothing more than winding us all up. Hardworking and kind, he’s won the heart of the lovely Sophia and with it ours too. You’re funny- not as much as you think you are though. You’re kind and supportive and an amazing man. Thank you so much for your role in our big day- it means the world to me and I know I’m in safe hands if I start to panic about schedules.

We are so proud too have 3 beautiful, clever, kind, smart and powerful young ladies. First up is the eldest- Anya-Jeanne, quiet but funny Anya is ambitious and very thoughtful. She has a big heart and quick sense of humour, especially when ganging up on her dad. She can hold her own in a family of 5 kids and is a great role model for the others. Next in Line is Annabelle, once you get past the ice cold stare she is very warm person. She loves too dance and sing (as long as no one is watching) and is happy on her own skin. She lights up any room but be warned she has more sass than her mother. And last is Our Kells. Kelly is our fighter, she lives too dance she loves people and parties Although most people see the chair first Kelly will soon win your heart with her infectious smile. We are very proud of the girls and the young women they have become.

Our second pocket rocket of the day- the youngest of the lot- this cheeky chappy will be found where there is food or music. He throws shapes like no one is watching and is your typical little boy. Often referred to as the favourite by the other kids, he is the only one too inherit mums red hair, so he stands out in a crowd. Keep your eyes peeled for our littlest mischief maker on the day as he has some secret squirrel missions.

Although today we look to our future we also remember our past. Too Family and Friends that cant be with us but who showed us love, care and time. The memories we shared will live on, Always.
