Cara-Lyn & Scott
Wedding Party
Jamie Lawrence
Maid of Honor
Jamie and Cara started out as work colleagues and the relationship started out quite rocky. With both girls having a RBF (resting bitch face) and both being extremely stubborn, it took them a while to realise how alike they actually are. Although Jamie didn't invite Cara to her wedding (it isn't something Cara mentions much), she is someone that the Bride couldn't live without. Jada is someone who understands and accepts every part of the Bride, without any judgement. She is the person to call when you are having the worst day and the person to call to share your best days with (not without prior warning, because both Bride and MOH avoid phone calls like the plague). She is the Monica to Cara's Rachel and her forever soul sister.
Garryn Brooks
Best Man
The man with somewhat of a plan. Garryn has played his part in aiding the Groom's uncertainty in life with his "maybe" and "possibly could do" attitude. Garryn and Scott have often been mistaken for twins with two distinct differences, one is taller and the other better looking. We will let you decide on that one! The pair can often be seen on a cold Saturday morning cycling past the Cradle of Humankind, wondering why they are there! Garryn has been a gym partner, running compatriot, cycling adventurer, Afrikaans music enthusiast, drinking buddy and lifelong friend to the Groom. We can think of no better suit for the honour of best man!
Donna Botha
Bridesmaid
From bottle feeds to tequila feeds; putting on concerts, to attending concerts; birthday parties with jumping castles to partying at clubs; Donna and Cara have been through it all. Donna is someone you want on your side, she may be small and seem quiet, but boy does she know how to throw a punch. She is also someone you would NEVER want to buy tiles from. How lucky to have grown up with a cousin who became a sister. The games that were played, the fights that were had and most importantly bullying poor Casey, are some of the Bride's best memories. Donna is the sidekick to Cara's MANY blonde and embarrassing moments. No matter where life takes them, Donna will always be Cara's guiding light and biggest supporter.
James Green
Groomsman
The year is 2001, enter the Green Machine. James and the Groom have been friends for over 20 years and James sure does like to let the Bride know about this fact. Often causing the Groom to take his oldest friend's side! James, with his heir of collectedness and composure, brought calmness and assurance to the Groom's life. Except for that time they sat next to each other in grade 7... James has been a FIFA companion, Premier League debater, wingman, fellow tech enthusiast and lifelong friend to the Groom. Where would the Groom be without this man?
Casey Pullen
Bridesmaid
A little girl who stole her family's hearts... and their food. A Buddha with the cutest rolls and the biggest heart. She is a cousin, a sister and a forever friend. Working with her makes Cara's days a little easier and definitely more enjoyable. They see themselves as the magic pair, although their colleagues tend to see them more as the "terrible two". She could definitely drink anyone under the table and is as energetic as a child on a sugar high, but she wears her heart on her sleeve and can brighten up any dull day. Donna and Cara like to think that Casey is the person she is today due to them guiding her through the many difficulties of life. They both taught Casey many important life lessons such as humility (making her their backup singer and dancer), respect for her elders, discipline (by instructing her to make the bed, even though they all slept in it), and how to find the silver lining in difficult situations (forcing her to move out of her "tree house" because they realised her "tree house" was better than theirs). Casey brings colour to the Bride's life and will forever be one of her most favourite people.
Marc Lowenstein
Groomsman
Beast mode activated. The strongman and the gentleman. Marc and the Groom have done it all, from touring the local watering holes to, wait (checks notes), Pokemon Go? Marc with his can-do and will-do attitude has helped the Groom in his journey to becoming the man he is today. Friendships like these are hard to come by and despite Marc being some 6390 kilometers away, they remain as close as ever. Marc will forever remain a close friend and confidant to the Groom.
Sarah Kelly
Bridesmaid
Although Sara and Cara went to the same high school, they never officially met until after Scott and Cara started dating. Who would have thought that the quiet library monitor, with the long braided hair and Alice in Wonderland headband, would be as loud and hilarious as she is? Once they officially met, Cara and Sarah became close quite quickly. Sarah has the kindest heart and never fails to show up when she is needed, and even knows to show up when Cara doesn't realise she needs someone. She is the clumsiest cycling and fitness buddy and supports all Cara's ventures, no matter what. Sarah is always up for the challenge even if it scares her. As lovely as she is, she is also confusing. Miss responsible ALWAYS puts sunblock on, yet she drives like she's the getaway driver after a bank robbery. No matter how many lives she thinks you have when you get into the car with her, Cara knows how incredibly lucky she is to have found a friend in her sister-in-LOVE!
Craig Lawrence
Groomsman
The golfer, whiskey sommelier and, most importantly, second-best lawyer at the wedding! Craig and the Groom's friendship has grown over the years with their similar interests and hobbies. Despite the Groom being a lousy golfer, Craig persevered through round after round ensuring that fun was had by all and that the Groom lost the bet... Being a fierce competitor and an eristic extrovert, the Groom and Craig have shared many a late night debating anything and everything, often without conclusion or agreement. With plenty left for debate, the Groom is proud to have Craig as a lifelong friend.
