Kalani & Ashley
Wedding Party
Kalani Thompson
Groom
Kalani has a real what you see is what you get type of personality, he loves wholeheartedly especially if you're his family or his friend. He is extremely impulsive and changes his hobbies like no tomorrow, one month you'll catch him trying to renovate a whole shed and the next month he's on a chess tournament. Kalani's interests and hobbies include: Chess Poker Watching mighty Rabbitohs win.
Ashley Mihajlovska
Bride
Ashley has to be the most indecisive person ever, she has changed her mind at least 1000 times with anything to do with the wedding. One thing Ashley is sure of, is how much she loves her family and friends. You can catch Ashley anywhere Kalani is and her favourite people because you already know how supportive she is. Ashley's interests and hobbies include: Spending time with loved ones Cooking Watching her favourite movies
Kane Flavell
Best Man
Kane has been friends with Kalani for many many years. Inseparable since 5, these two have grown up together as best friends exactly like their fathers. They have a friendship like no other, from getting into a great deal of mischief together, to watching each other grow into their mature lives. It will always be Kane and Kalani. Kane is the worlds biggest lightweight, even Ashley can outdrink him. We love him for that, we can't wait for you guys to love him as much as we do. Although he tries his little heart out to beat Kalani in Fifa it will never happen, have fun being second best in Fifa forever champ. Kane's interests and hobbies include: Work, work and more work Losing in Fifa Quality family time
Tiana Beddingfield
Maid of Honor
Aren't we lucky to have Tiana, as well as being Kalani's sister. Tiana is the Maid Of Honour, best-friend, therapist, financial advisor and much much more. Every-one needs a Tiana in their life, she is her most unapologetically brutally honest, loving, caring self every second of the day and we truly cannot fathom how she does it. She works amazingly and actually thrives under pressure, she most definitely does not beat around the bush and never ever breaks over the small problems (like the bride does). Instead she comes back after 5 minutes with a step by step solution guide on how we are going to fix it. Our very own human AI, as much as Tiana is confident around her family she keeps her circle extremely small, she never likes to draw attention to herself and (HATES) when we sing happy birthday to her in public places ( i'm banned from her birthday for this exact reason). Tiana is the busiest person we know, she is an event planner/stylist, a mother of 4 gorgeous babies, a wife and the best friend ever. Tiana's interests and hobbies include: Anime Online shopping (what lewis doesn't know, doesn't hurt him) Event styling Post Malone Russ
Will Hargreves
Groomsman
Will and Kalani are like an old married couple, they bicker but could possibly never live without each other. When Kalani and Will are together it's something else, they bounce off each other and the jokes do not stop rolling in. Kalani and Will also got up-to mischief together especially in the bachelor pad they had, or when they lived literally across from each other. Will is such a clown when he is around people he is comfortable with. He's a mate for life and if you're friends with him he will always have your back. We love our Will and we can't wait for you to meet him.
Emma Merrifield
Bridesmaid
Oh Emma, if you ever get a chance to meet Emma we are so happy for you. Emma is pure chaos, everything about her is so much fun and nothing will stop her from being the biggest boss babe ever. From owning one of the best salons in the Illawarra to the love she has for her baby, Emma puts so much passion into everything she does. We love the shit out of Emma and know you will love her too.
Lewis Beddingfield
Groomsman
Lewis, the male version of his beloved Tiana, does this man ever sit down? His passion in tattooing moved him 3 hours from his hometown and into a city he had no idea about. He has created the most beautiful life for his family and we love him for that. Lewis is either pure chaos or the calmest person you have met, there is no in-between. We don't think we have ever seen lewis cranky, ( excited for us to leave so he can deep clean his whole house ) but never cranky. Lewis is the best dad, an amazing husband and such a good friend. Make sure to have a chat with Lew if you see him around, you won't regret it.
Janelle Cvetkovski
Bridesmaid
Janelle is another one that is so unapologetically herself every second of the day. Janelle has a spreadsheet and an itinerary for absolutely everything, she is always on-time and looks like an absolute doll every day (does she even sleep, when does she have time to get ready like that?). Janelle has been friends with the groom for a very very long time and is the maid of honour's best friend. You will always see Tiana and Janelle together. We love seeing Janelle live her best life travelling the world and having all the fun she deserves.
Pete Tamata
Groomsman
You would be so lucky to have Pete as a friend, we know we are. Pete will give you the shirt off his back if needed and loves his friends and family wholeheartedly. He truly is such a good friend. Pete is always the last one at the party and the first one to leave, he is most definitely running on island time. In the 3 hours we have Pete at a party he spends two of those hours on the phone to his wife telling her how much he loves her ( and so he should ). You will catch Pete at the bar or on the dance floor. Make sure you have a chat and a shot with him, you won't regret it.
Hannah Lee
Bridesmaid
Meet Hannah, the queen of the gym, Maui Thai and the life of the party! She's got the best body you've ever seen, thanks to her dedication and love for all things fitness. When it comes to affection she's most definitely not the cuddly type but don't worry she'll always have your back in a heartbeat. Need her help? Boom! She'll be there in a flash. Hannah's weekends are a mix of two extremes: either she's out partying like there's no tomorrow or enjoying some cozy time at home, hibernating like a bear. But no matter what, she's always ready to bring the fun and make every moment memorable. Hannah goes above and beyond for both Kalani and I, even though they spend 70% of their time bickering like brother and sister. We absolutely adore Hannah and couldn't imagine our bridal squad without her incredible energy and unwavering support. She's the life of the party and the one who keeps us motivated both in life. We love her to the moon and back!
Tane Sturmey
Groomsman
Uh yes, Tane. Everyone has that one friend that is good at everything. Well this is our friend. He has never drunk alcohol, does not smoke, enjoys going to the gym 30 times a day and when we say he is good at everything we mean it. Tane is easily the funniest person we know ( just don't tell him that, we won't hear the end of it ). Tane is so amazing with children and is about to be a dad himself to a beautiful baby girl. You will most definitely find Tane on the dance floor or outside doing backflips, ( another one that always has to be doing something ). We love Tane and know you will love him too.
Candice Chapman
Bridesmaid
Meet Candice, the brainiac of the squad and the ultimate friend you can count on. She's got brains for days and always keeps us on our toes with her ridiculous remarks and hilarious roasts. Candice is the kind of friend who will never let you get away with anything. She's not one to sugar coat things and will always call out Ashley on her bullshit. But beneath that hilarious exterior, Candice has a heart of gold. She's about to embark on an incredible journey as she becomes a mama to a baby girl. Her nurturing nature and love for her growing family shine through everything she does. We're incredibly lucky to have Candice by our side, bringing laughter, intelligence, and a whole lot of sass to our bridal party. She's the clown who keeps us smiling and the friend who always has our back. We can't wait to celebrate her and her upcoming bundle of joy! You will catch Candice with her side kick Tane, as he is also in the bridal party.
Deejay Harris
Groomsman
Meet Deejay, the ultimate partner in crime and the groom's best friend for the past 20 years! These two are inseparable and when they're together, there's no stopping the fun. Deejay is the kind of friend who can talk smack and share laughs for hours on end. They've got stories for days, and you'll never get tired of their banter. When Deejay is sober, he may be a bit quieter, but once a couple of beers are in him, he transforms into a whole new person! But beyond the partying, Deejay is a true friend for life. There hasn't been a single moment where we haven't had an amazing time together. We're so lucky to have Deejay as part of our wedding crew. He's the funny, lively, and dependable friend who adds that extra spark to any celebrations. Get ready for some unforgettable moments with Deejay by our side!
Jasmine Spruill
Bridesmaid
Meet Jasmine, the bride's longest friend! She's been through it all with Ashley, from all the crazy phases to the unforgettable moments. Jasmine's loyalty is unwavering, and she's never left Ashley's side. Jas is an incredible mum to her adorable son, Navy. Her love for her little one knows no bounds, and she's always there to support and nurture him. When it comes to showing up, Jasmine might have her own sense of time but she's always there when it counts. Her dedication and love for Ashley are unmatched, making her an important member of the bridal party.
Quintin Wikaira
Groomsman
Quintin is also the grooms best friend. They have been close for many many years and will continue to be close for ever. Quintin has the biggest heart, and has been Kalani's side kick for as long as we can remember. Quintin is apart of our furniture, you will usually fine them playing FIFA for many hours in our lounge room. Quintin has the best energy and the kindest heart.
Vanessa Trajkovska
Bridesmaid
Vanessa is Ashley's first cousin, they have gone through it all together including the hair and makeup styles and all of their phases. Ashley even secretly bought bleach without her parents knowing and made Vanessa balayage her hair when they were 12. Of-course Vanessa soldiered on and actually did a decent job. Vanessa is straighty one-eighty and does everything by the books. She is shy but extremely kind so if you see her around the wedding be sure to have a chat with her. We hope you love her as much as we do.
Kawanui Sturmey
Groomsman
Kawa, Kalani's OG. These two have also been inseparable for a very long time. Kawa has been like Kalani's big brother for many many years. Kawa is such a good friend and will also be in our circle for life. He is another one that has seen it all with Kalani. They have been together nonstop for over 20 years with no breaks. Kawa has to be the kindest soul we know. What you see is what you get and we're so lucky to have him as a friend. You'll always see Kalani and Kawa together like always, if they're not hanging out they're either sending each other snapchats of their meals 30 times a day or on the playstation mic. We can't wait for you to love him as much as we do.
