Wedding Party
Stuart Daniels
Father of the Groom
Stuart is the proud father of Christian. The two have a great bond and get on well, as long as they don't work together. Stuart is a carpenter by trade and at the age of 16, Christian began an apprenticeship in order to follow in his fathers footsteps. Whilst working away in Portsmouth, Stuart reminisces that Chris did not put in the hard work that a carpenter entails, whilst Chris believes Stuart was a bit bossier towards him than he was to the other boys. This ultimately resulted in Chris walking the 7 mile trip in the pouring rain back to their hotel. They have not worked together since, but their closeness remains. There is not doubt that the two look alike, some even say their personalities are very similar, too. There is no doubt that Stuart's been an excellent role model to his son.
Amelia Reynolds
Bridesmaid
Alicia and Amelia met in secondary school and have been inseparable ever since. Over the years, they have been there for each other through the highs and the lows, day and night. From their many drunken nights in Eli Jenkins, to sharing their regrets the next day over a coffee and a biscuit, one thing is for sure, and it is that these two share a truly unremarkable bond. When Alicia met Chris, instead of spending less time with her best friend, Amelia quickly became the honorary “third wheel” for many of their dates, and became great friends with Chris as a result. The three of them are now a fantastic trio and Amelia is as much a good friend to Chris as she has been to Alicia for almost a decade. They couldn't think of a better person to be standing by their sides on their special day.
Amy Churcher
Bridesmaid
Kara's younger sister Amy shares the same close bond with both Chris and Alicia. Amy has a naturally cheeky and enthusiastic nature, and manages to make friends wherever she goes. Amy enjoys spending time with friends and playing netball. She even played in the Welsh Nationals and brought the trophy back home with her to Blackwood. Whilst Chris and Alicia love spending time with Amy, it must be noted that they dread going shopping with her. This is because Amy seems to like the look of everything that money can buy, especially in Primark. Amy is a truly happy, kind and overall wonderful person, this is why the special couple have asked her to be by their sides during their special day, and there is no doubt that she will provide all with many laughs along the way.
Ellie Evans
Bridesmaid
Alicia's younger cousin, Ellie is a friendly and funny little girl. She has a passion for horses and visits her own horse, Tia several times a week. Towards the end of 2019, Ellie broke her leg whilst trampolining, she ended up in a cast and was unable to ride her horse for weeks. During this time, Alicia looked after her little cousin frequently and remembers vividly the first time Ellie came to her new house whilst still in a cast. She didn't notice the huge sofa with a speaker in it, she didn't notice the lovely photos dotted around the place, or even the lovely interior that coated the home. Instead, Ellie went on to appreciate how "wheelchair friendly" their house was, and how pleased she was with this! Alicia and Christian are proud to have Ellie with them on their special day.
Ceri-Ann Morris
Bridesmaid
Best Man Toms' girlfriend, Ceri-Ann has known Chris for over a decade and as soon as her and Alicia were introduced, they became the best of friends. Despite the fact they are both Scorpios (astrology is very important to Alicia), they are both on the same wavelength - especially as their partners are so similar. Although Ceri-Ann is responsible for getting Alicia (very) drunk on the couples engagement party, she did ensure that she got home safely, which is a fantastic mix. Ceri-Ann is not only a life-long friend, but the most precious friend anybody could ever wish for. She is caring, kind and the wedding would not be the same without her as bridesmaid.
Anna-Marie Graham
Mother of the Bride
Mother of the Bride, Anna-Marie shares a great closeness with her daughter. In fact, the two are more like sisters than mother and daughter. Compliments such as "You're too young to be her mother!" are frequent, although Anna-Marie does not complain. Anna-Marie became a mother at a young 19 years of age but went on to get a degree and has had a successful career in teaching, as well as ensuring that her little girl had everything she wanted out of life. Anna-Marie is a prime example of how a young, single mum did an outstanding job in raising her daughter, even through through the tougher teenage years, where her patients was really tested. However, I'm sure her own mother, Wendy, would simply describe that as 'revenge'.
