Attire
We are excited to invite you to our wedding on 12th April 2025! Please arrive in smart casual attire, which is anything that is stylish yet comfortable. For those who are unsure....Smart casual, or Dressy Casual, means wedding guests are being asked to dress neatly, without being overly dressy – or overly casual. For men, dark denim, chinos or suit paints with a neat shirt is appropriate while women can wear a dress,skirt or smart trousers. Jackets and ties are completely optional, we want everyone to be comfortable.

Wedding Party
Meet our lovely family and friends who will by the side of the bride and groom on the big day.
Carolyn
Long-time friend, fellow nurse and partner in crime - Carolyn will be by Nikki's side as her Matron of Honour.
Sherril
"We've known each other forever but have become close friends really since that night over at the Crown Series when we had Crusader, and Nikki called me a piss pot because I was buying lots of jugs of Bundy and Coke"
Jacinta
Nikki's sister, and the self assessed "harbour master", Jacinta will be joining Carolyn and Sherril as a Bridesmaid to ensure all operations by the water run smoothly.
Bestman
"Best man" is a claim Graham has always made about himself. Now, it's official. Tim and Graham have been friends for 35 years.
Groomsman
Brett is Tim's (soon-to-be) Brother in Law. It seems that a shared love of Sailing and Red Wine can take you a long way. Tim jokes that Brett just came as part of the package, but it seems they hit it off and have been close friends since.
Polly
Emotional support dog and chief food taster.
