1 job - make sure Parksey remembers he is English.....tea not coffee, manners and ladies first, only (proper) football, plenty of sarcasm and lots and lots of put downs to keep that ego in check! 😜

Gary Henderson
Groomsman
I have known Parksy for 3/4 of his life, first as his tennis coach and later as his friend. One of my favorite Parksy quotes was when he challenged me to a 10 point tie-breaker. “Whoever loses does 20 pushups” he said, “that way it’s a win/win because if I win the tie breaker I’ve won and if don’t, my body wins”. The last time his “body won”, he did his pushups with my son on his back. He must be pretty ripped, his body wins all the time! He is living testament to the saying ‘you get out, what you put in’.
Kelly Mobeck
Bridesmaid
Kelly is a Mom to all boys and a grandma to two girls, and has been married to Ken for 21 years. They all keep her on her toes and she wouldn’t have any other way. She is a leadership coach and trainer, and loves assisting people get what they want out of life! Kelly met Cindy about 6 years ago, they became fast friends bonding over breakfast, personal development trainings, and lots of laughs!! She can’t wait for Cindy & Martin’s big day!!
James Maden
Groomsman
Pals since the age of 13. It pains Martin that despite him being the rackets ‘pro’ he just can’t beat me at squash (aka racketball). I’ve a few stories to share so come and say hi at the wedding and I’ll fill you in...

Hayley and her husband of fourteen years share a wonderful son and daughter, as well as their three adorable fur babies. Hayley loves the great outdoors and in her off time she will be hiking up mountains, deep sea fishing, or enjoying photographing local flora and fauna. She met Cindy four years ago and quickly became hiking buddies and very good friends. Hayley is so excited to share in the wedding festivities celebrating her friends Cindy and Martin!

Karen is super excited to be in her first wedding. She truly dances like no one is watching and enjoys all kinds of music.

Fun fact: Karen’s 2nd birthday is the day after the wedding!

Lucy is a wild and fun 1 year old, who can’t wait to wear a pretty dress, and play in her “Sissy” (Aunt Cindy’s) make up on her wedding day.
Martin Rudas
