Laura & Andrew
Wedding Party
Carla Boyer
Mother of the Bride
Mother of the bride and the soul of the party! Carla will most likely be dancing and laughing until late hours of the night. If there's one thing to note about Carla is that her loud laugh will be contagious to all guests around her. If you haven't met her yet, go over to say hi she loves socializing and meeting new people!
Sheila Talbot
Mother of the Groom
Sheila, the mother of the groom, who may very well enjoy a good party more so than her three kids these days, will no doubt be out for a good bash while on a little holiday! This chatty Cathy will be sipping cocktails, spinning yarns, and divulging details that are maybe better left untold, but she'll have you laughing all night and she'll for sure be dancing the night away!
Miguel Cristobal
Father of the Bride
The best therapist in town. Careful with what you say around him, you might be analyzed! Miguel, or also known as Mike, has prepared his speech about 10 months in advanced so buckle up and get ready, it will be good and we will all have a few tears. Specially the bride!
Ian Cunningham
Father of the Groom
You'll know Ian's in the room because he knows how to make an entrance! He may arrive on a flying magic carpet, or possibly the latest Lamborghini in production, one way or another, you're sure to encounter the enigma that is Ian Cunningham. The charismatic father of the groom will be pipped to have the best, and possibly the longest, speech of the night, one that's sure to leave everyone rolling around laughing! He'll be seen joking and laughing the whole night long!
Marie Cunningham
Grandmother / Mother 2.0 of the groom
Marie, the best in the world! Between ordering "sex on the beach" five times and laughing harder each time she orders another one, Marie will be one of the first on the dance floor for the night. She will be cracking jokes, laughing all night, telling stories about Andrew and how he was so bold, yet so good, and that she "just loved him"! If you're lucky, she might take you for a turn on the dance floor!
Diana Franco Garrido
Maid of Honor
Diana went to boarding school with Laura at the age of 13 in the UK and they have been very close friends ever since. Currently living in Amsterdam, mom of a super cute puppy, and a badass hard-worker friend who's always ready to have fun!
Matthew Cunningham
Brother of the Groom / Best Man
Best little bigger brother on the planet! As much as he was tormented by Andrew growing up, they were always thick as thieves and always EXTREMELY competitive. From golf, to football, to running, or even betting on the toss of a coin at the end of a night out after being thrown out of the casinos in Mullingar, the best man speech could be a perfect moment for Matthew to notch a couple points back in the win column. Matty will be having a good time for sure, a vodka red bull in one hand and fist pumping on the dance floor with the other.
Carlota Boyer
Bridesmade / Cousin of the bride
Carlota should be known as Laura's "older sister". Showed her how to do her make-up, hair, dress-up, you name it! Carlota is a super talented architect based in London and is also a mom to a super cute puppy called Bruno!
John Kelly
Groomsman
John Kelly, one of the San Francisco faithful, will be in full swing at the wedding. Make sure you get a chance to meet the charismatic Dubliner who'll be there with all the good vibes. First to the bar ordering rounds for everyone getting the party started (knowing full well it's an open bar), then hitting the tiles to show off some of the best dance moves north of the equator; enter Carlton, Fresh Prince of Bel Air!
Lucia Gago
Bridesmade / Cousin of the bride
Lucia grew up with Laura. Their childhood went from pretending to be cooking delicious dishes with grass and nuts at their grandparents garden, to preparing and running all kinds of Christmas family shows with all the cousins. Lucia is a teacher and an excellent party planner who's always down for some fun!
Declan Gavin
Groomsman
Declan, more of an older brother to Andrew than a neighbor, these two grew up together in the Bridge. Spent summers following Westmeath GAA all the way to the famous Leinster title 2004! When they weren't at matches, they were out rolling and topping fields on tractors, smoking and drinking pints, and texting any girls that'd respond, "what do ya think of me so far??" I mean, what a role-model! Dec will most likely be found tipping around slagging everyone in sight, burning it up on the dance floor! The bridesmaids could be in for a good time with Dec!
Yolanda Aparicio
Bridesmaid
One of Laura's best friends from school, currently running a super cute hotel in Australia! If you're looking to celebrate a wedding out there, she's your girl! Yolanda (or Yoli), is an on and off vegetarian who's now remodeling a super cool van!
Sean Byrne
Groomsman
Sean, one of Andrew's closest friends in San Francisco. The Galwegian's answer to Conor McGregor! Former champion kick boxer, and retired Innisfree FC striker, he's now better known for his dart like iron game and knocking down 20 footers on the reg! Andrew and Sean have known each other since their AIT days, when Andrew was threading balls through the eye of a needle for Sean, assists and goals galore! Now though, he may indeed need to be pulled in off the golf course to make it to the church on the day. He's sure to be having a few cheeky tequila, reminiscing about days on the high stool in Danny Coyles! The man may not get much sleep, if any, with talk of a sunrise tee time, he could be going from dance floor to driver for an early hack next morning!
Celia Argudo
Bridesmaid
One of Laura's best friends from school and a musician! Piano player, singer and a sound engineer. If she's brave enough you might even hear her singing at the wedding!
Conor Nugent
Groomsman
Nuge! One of Andrew's best mates from home, these two have been through it all together! Without this man, Andrew may have been married with 4 kids, living in Ballymahon, sat next to Paddy Losty himself every night on the high stool, and living off the dole (pretty grim)! This savior dragged Andrew to Santa Barbara, CA summer 2011 with promise of better times, and he didn't disappoint. That summer is what drove Andrew to San Francisco, where he would eventually meet his bride to be, Laura! The legend that is Nuge will be cracking jokes, telling stories and perhaps throwing a few one liners towards the bridesmaids!
Gonzalo Conde
Best Friend of the Bride
Gonzalo was the person that convinced Laura to move to San Francisco. If it wasn't for a summer trip to Greece with him, no love story would have ever happened. Gonzalo and Laura are friends from school and spent most of their teen and college years together and then moved and lived in SF together. If there's someone who know's well Laura, that's 100% Gonzalo! He has been recently asked to give a speech 🎤 but hasn't officially accepted. Maybe a little bit of pressure here will help?
Alvaro Cristobal Boyer
Brother of the Bride
Alvaro (also known as Al or just Varo) and Laura grew up very closely together. As usual brothers and sisters do, they grew up fighting but also challenging and helping one another. Alvaro is the biggest traveler of the family you never know where he will be based the following week. Currently working for Airbnb which gives him a lot of perks for all of his travels. Alvaro has been the person that has visited Laura to the US the most since she moved out there, which had made Laura SO happy. He has THE BEST sense of humor and loves to joke around, if you decide to talk to him, you will find it hard to know if he's being serious or just messing around!
Jenny Cunningham
Sister of the Groom
Jenny, the charismatic sister, much like her dad, will be here to have a measured blow out and let off some steam just before her own wedding 3 weeks later! No doubt taking notes of what not to do! She's the one who finally convinced Andrew to make the move out to Florida and start his own business, partnering up with her fiancee, Zach and a close friend of Andrew! This has turned out to be the best move ever and mostly because we have family close-by again! Jenny was the first to find out Andrew was going to propose to Laura, and she is the tight lipped, trusted keeper of many confidential matters to Andrew! Jenny will have exactly 4 drinks on the night, no more, no less, and she might (might!) even venture out onto the dance floor for a cheeky jive!
