Wedding Party
Marlee Whybird
Maid of Honor
There is no doubt Marlee and Abbey are soulmates and Andy will forever 3rd wheel. From the moment they met in year 6; Abbey has been Marlee’s eyes, and Marlee Abbey’s voice of reason. From spending time in a remote Thailand Village and traveling around Europe, to binge watching every vampire series possible; the good times and memories are endless.
Steve Twerago
Best Man
"Blackout boys" released their first album in 2011, but actually first started annoying each other during club soccer. There were months in Waltham where you couldn't find one of these fools without the other. The most "street smart" of Andy's friends - Stallion taught him how to survive in the wild. Here's to his first shoe-y!!
Lillian Anderson
Bridesmaid
Abbey often credits helping deliver baby Lilly, as the reason why she’s now a doctor. Despite death stares and the opposite fashion sense, Abbey and Lil share a love most siblings can only hope for. But don’t get on Lil’s bad side, she’s bulking and has a scary ute.
Gaelen Oliver
Groomsman
Gaelen was always Andy's tallest friend. Subjected to years of The Office on repeat, Gaelen thoroughly enjoyed his years experiencing what it meant living next to Andy. He's still trying to out-drink his benchmate Andy, but deep down he knows he'll never succeed.
Rebekah Gracias
Bridesmaid
Bek and Abbey’s love started in India, bonding over freezing showers and bad hangovers. While Bek was privy to a year of long distance phone calls between Abbey and Andy; we think she still secretly believes Andy was behind the girl’s apartment being caught up in a drug syndicate…watch this space.
Jay Shah
Groomsman
Introducing the second best anesthesiologist coming to the wedding - Jay and Andy quickly bonded over a love for everything not related to school. Whether it was the long sessions at PA studying or watching TV on the couch at Heaslop, they quickly grew into best mates.
Megan Bennie
Bridesmaid
Megan is the group’s fashionista, a trait that is clearly not genetically shared with her brother Andy. While Abbey was first introduced as “a medical school friend” during Megan’s trip to Australia to care for Andy after a knee surgery, it wasn’t a total surprise when Abbey started spending holidays back in America, in the Bennie home.
Joel Anderson
Groomsman
Whether it's dropping people over the Whitsunday's or fixing up the family's cars/phones/speakers/computers, Joel always seems to make everything better. These two can be found roaming the course attempting to play golf or dancing the night away on family birthdays. Meow!!
Ashleigh Stevenson
Bridesmaid
What better way to become best friends than spending a year isolating together in a freezing, Toowoomba Queenslander home? Thought to be sisters separated at birth, Ash and Abbey share a love for the environment, baking, reading, traveling and drinking a few too many delicious cocktails.
Mike Bennie
Groomsman
Andy met his older brother, Mike, just two years ago on a trip to NYC with Abbey. Even though he's approaching his mid-life crisis, Mike always takes time to plan somewhat decent itineraries for our trips. Maybe one day we'll stop dreaming about Uchi.
