The Gang | Ekip
Jessica Derges
Bride
Is swapping the black dress for a white one. You'll find her on the dancefloor with a pint.
Egemen Akbaş
Groom
He may or may not be wearing "those shoes". Happiest surrounded by pizza.
Kalle Jurvanen
Best Man
Long term bestie. Their friendship has survived USA roadtrips, university and a shared office! Lover of Greggs pizza boxes.
Lily Derges
Maid of Honor
Sis of the bride. Loves a micdrop, and an espresso Martini. Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game!
Claire Woodcock
Bridesmaid
Bristol based bestie and fabulous mother to George, the Kirsty to my Phil. Fellow Alcotraz inmate and all round gorgeous human with the best sense of humour.
Rhiannon Scott
Bridesmaid
The biggest Taylor Swift fan in the world and all round amazing bestie who teaches small humans. Lover of Kev the KA.
Kimberley Marin
Bridesmaid
Barnstaple based partner in crime of 10 years, former colleague turned bestie, the only person in the world who'd walk 11 miles and then go to a club with me.
Bethan Halliday
Bridesmaid
Their 20 year long friendship has survived a dodgy trip to Zanté, many a night on the Tavern tiles and Francis (not the pope).
Amy Furseman
Bridesmaid
Bestie and cousin since birth, catch us on the dancefloor becoming an icon. Boyzone, Chris Isaak, the Spice Girls and Shakira are all on the list.
Laura Wheaton
Bridesmaid
The gorgeous girlfriend of Jess' brother and the coolest chick in town. Just don't ask her about the Chicken Korma.
Kelly Rennolds
Bridesmaid
The beautiful girlfriend of Jess' brother, George and Lana Del Rey's biggest fan. Long term vegetarian turned meat-eater, tackling one burger at a time.
Yasemin Gava
Bridesmaid
One of the couples greatest friends. There's nothing that this beautiful girl can't do. From acting to art and everything in between. Dedicated cat mum to Deniz and Chaplin.
Miray Akbaş
Bridesmaid
Egemen's stunning sister, resident fashionista, Vinted bargain hunter, and proud cat mum to Turuncu. Stylish, sharp-witted, and always up for a laugh (or a spontaneous shopping trip), she brings a dose of flair and fun wherever she goes.
Samuel Ansdell
Bridesman
A 20 year long friendship between Barnstaple and London. Former schoolfriend and spent the majority of his time gossiping at swimming practice with Jess.
Harry Derges
Groomsman
The brother of Jess, loves a yard of ale and lodged at the Jeggy Motel. GWR's favourite customer.
George Derges
Groomsman
Jess's brother and Egemen's Liverpool buddy. Says he'll never run another marathon and then signs up for another one. Once ran one with a fractured ankle.
Berkay Ünlübursa
Groomsman
Egemen and Berkay go way back—16 years, to be exact. Their friendship has seen it all: a month-long interrail adventure, multiple bands, dodgy home recordings, and many, many Saturday nights that ended with Long Island Iced Teas. Berkay’s the guy who always shows up with a good story, a better playlist, and somehow, a new guitar.
Oliver Ward
Groomsman
Husband of Lily and new brother in the Derges family, Ollie brings a youthful exuberance and wins the award for the self proclaimed 'most dramatic hangover'.
Willow Dergbaş
House Sitter and Chief Flower Girl (In Spirit)
The couple's fluffy princess. Whilst Willow can't be with us to celebrate today, she's looking after the flat and probably up to her eyeballs in Dreamies.
