Wedding Party
Bormei (BomBom)
Bride
Well hello my beautiful and handsome bois and gals. Yep...I know I know your girl is getting married!!!! AHHHHHH!! For those who don't know me too well, I'm a lover of sunsets, good matcha, good foods and quality family times. Anyway, just wanted to say how grateful I am for each one of you. You’re here in my life for a reason, and your support has meant more to me than you know. I feel incredibly blessed to marry my best friend and to share this moment with all of you. Thank you for joining us, travelling for us, and supporting us with so much love.
Soeandry (Dree)
Groom
For those who don’t know me, my name is Soeandry, although depending on how and when we met, you might know me as Dree, Pa, Sou, or even Kazim. At this point, I answer to all of them. In April, I’ll be marrying my beautiful fiancée, Bormei. Before we get too emotional, I’ll keep this short and promise not to turn it into a job interview. I really enjoy spending time with friends and family, especially when food is involved. I also like doing sports not because I’m disciplined, but because it allows me to eat more without guilt. I want to thank everyone here for being part of our wedding and for celebrating with us. And to those who couldn’t make it today, we miss you and you’re definitely being talked about… nicely. I feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by all of you, and even luckier to be marrying Bormei. Thank you for sharing this special moment with us.
Isabell (Izzy)
Maid of Honor
As Bormei’s best friend and now Maid of Honour, I couldn’t be happier to celebrate this incredible love story that I have witnessed from the very first second. The day of April 26 will be a snippet of everything that makes their relationship so special, along with laughter and beautiful promises. We look forward to a day full of fun, lifelong memories and most importantly… love.
Sally
Bridesmaid
Hi everyone, this is Sally. I used to live Darwin where I met Bormei. I am now living in Sydney. I'm truly honoured to be one of the bridesmaids. From the first moment I met her, she was very lovely, smart, and one of the brightest in the class. Over the years, through all memories we've shared, I've gotten to know how special she is and how lucky I have met her. She's the one who always show up, listens to you, and supports you all the time. I've always imagined to be there at her wedding one day and it finally comes true! I can't wait to celebrate this beautiful and cherished moment with her, with you guys, filled with joy, laughter, and so much love. (P.S. if you see someone who is tearing up a lot, that's me haha)
Jessie
Bridesmaid
Hi, I'm Jessie. I've known Bormei since our university days, which means I've seen her at her best, her most stressed, and running on very little sleep. Through it all, she's remained the same fun, kind person we all love. We've grown a lot since then (mostly), but one thing that's never changed is her ability to light up the room. Seeing her so happy with Soeandry is incredibly special, I'm so honoured to be part of their big day. And if you notice someone taking an unreasonable amount of pictures on the day....that'll be me, making sure these two never forget a single moment XD
Mohammad (Mo)
Best Man
My name is Mohammad and I live in the Netherlands. Soeandry and I first met in elementary school when we were both new, I started halfway through fifth grade and he started at the beginning of the year. At first, we hardly spoke, until one day a simple game of football turned into a fight, a moment we still laugh about today. Somehow, that moment became the foundation of our friendship. From there on, we grew up together as brothers, facing life’s highs and lows side by side. Seventeen years later, the brotherhood we built has never faded, which is why it means so much to me to stand by his side as he begins this new chapter of his life. PS in case you didn't know, in the picture, I'm the one on the left.

The first time I ever met my friend Soeandry was in a pretty unexpected place: my basement. Funny enough, it all started through a few clients of mine who knew him and recommended me to him as a barber. He came by a few times to get his hair cut, and then, somehow, we completely lost touch. I didn’t see him for about a year and a half, maybe even two years. Then, out of nowhere, I ran into him again at Alexandrium, right there in the middle of the street on the little square. I still remember the way he looked at me — like I had just caught him off guard, almost like fate had stepped in for a second. Not long after that, he came back to me for a haircut, and from there things slowly started to grow. We began meeting up outside of work, hanging out more and more, just chilling together. We shared so many funny moments. One of my favorites is us singing Korean karaoke together in the car, completely off-key but having the best time. Those moments, simple as they were, really built our bond and turned it into a genuine friendship. Now, seeing him in Australia, having found love and continuing his journey there, makes me truly happy. As his brother, I’m incredibly proud of him. I can’t wait to see how he continues to grow and evolve as a person, because I know there’s so much more ahead of him.

I’m Shane. Soeandry and I met in secondary school, two new kids feeling a bit out of place. When I looked at him, I saw a kindness that mirrored my own. We hit it off instantly, forming a classic trade: he did my homework, and I fixed his wardrobe, because he dressed like a total dork back then. I taught him to lift weights, pushing him to his limits, only for him to push me right back. That’s when I knew we weren't just friends; we were brothers. During a rough period where I was emotionally hurting, our connection faded for a year. He didn’t quite know how to comfort me yet, and I realized he just needed space to grow. COVID brought us back. A simple "how are you?" led to a drink at a bar and the realization we were attending the same university. Seeing him in the halls, helping me with math again, felt like no time had passed. When he eventually faced his own struggles, I finally got to be the rock he needed. Then came Putheelen. Watching them navigate a long-distance relationship, I saw Soeandry shine with a happiness I’d never seen. When he moved to Australia to be with her, he had my full blessing; he had finished his chapters here and was ready for a new one. A few months later, we jumped on a call to discuss the "tactics" of his proposal. Usually, I’m the creative one, but seeing him take the lead showed me just how much he’s grown. Our brotherhood has been about pushing each other for 17 years. I’m honored to stand by his side, to witness the life he truly deserves.
