Wedding Party
George
Best Man
The Best Man needs no introduction. He has been through thick and thin with the Groom. Friends since school, George once stole a Year 7’s diary. When questioned, the Groom and George had a silent telepathic moment and effortlessly pinned it on Milks - who somehow got away completely unscathed while they both took the blame. More like brothers than friends, which is ironic as a nice word isn't said unless both him and the Groom have had a few glasses of wine. During college, George and the Bride would bicker like brother and sister, but through gritted teeth over the years, they have learnt to get along (occasionally). He is typically quiet and serious, but behind that, is an infectious laugh, and a mate who'd do anything for you. On the wedding day, he will have his serious face on, but once his speech is done, he may even have a boogie (a strict no boogie policy remains in place while sober).
Harriet
Maid of Honor
Our Sister is officially head of all operations for the wedding day and trust me, she’s taking that role very seriously. The Groom and Harriet have spent years dancing together and competing side by side, even jetting off to Arizona for a dance competition that surely left plenty of memories (and probably some questionable dance moves). When they were very young, they even performed a singing and dancing piece called 'My Brother' - a classic we’re all eagerly waiting to see make a comeback on the wedding day. Her favourite hobbies include reading, baking, and paying a visit to as many A&E departments in the UK as possible. Her and the Bride also have a very close bond. She’s our go-to for gossip, a professional at mooching around TK Maxx, and the absolute best binge partner for serial killer documentaries (because nothing says bonding like murder and M&S picky bits). However, the biggest mystery we have ever had to solve was that of the 'Hit-and-run Bandit'; a gripping scene where the Groom's precious vehicle was rammed into in broad daylight! There was an intense search party out for the culprit of this heinous crime, until he checked the Ring doorbell footage (spoiler... it was Harriet all along!). Our beautiful sister is sharp, witty, and full of heart, we love her dearly and next year, we’re all secretly looking forward to sneaking in a few extra hugs, since she has a strict birthdays-and-Christmas-only hug policy!
Luke
Groomsman
Known as Cov, one of the Groom's longest standing friends (except when he drinks as his legs stop working). He's direct in the best way, always makes time for the boys and might as well have his name above the door of the Good Intent Pub. He is part of the furniture at this point, and if you're over 60, you'll be sure to get a dance with this one. A top shelf friend and organiser of the stag alongside the best man. Hardcore Benidorm lover, and if you want tears on the wedding day, keep his wine glass full.
Nicole
Bridesmaid
This hotty is the Bride's best friend, the golden retriever to my black cat, the blue to my pink, my Chiquitita! If you don't already know Nicole, she’s an absolute ABBA addict, a Mamma Mia megafan, and the undisputed queen of vanishing on a night out only to reappear deep in conversation with someone’s grandad. The best memories we have with Nicole are from our first holiday abroad, where she nearly got us kidnapped in the back of a scary Spanish man's taxi on the Magaluf strip at 4am (she probably still has Pepe's phone number still in her phone). When we're together we're always up to no good, be it convincing each other we need another pair of heels, or booking front row Magic Mike tickets. She’s my personal shopper, my partner-in-crime, and my forever dancing queen!
Ethan
Groomsman
Known as Milks, imagine a James May with less coordination and more stubbornness. He's an oddball, immune to peer pressure, fashion advice and going to any normal holiday destinations. But underneath the questionable car choices and unsolicited political views, he's fiercely loyal and surprisingly thoughtful. You can always depend on him for advice, a good laugh, and to eat your chinese order on a night out thinking it's his.
Scarlett
Bridesmaid
Scarlett is our darling Niece. Her and the Bride are only 5 years apart in age, which means they basically grew up as best friends who just happened to share DNA! Scarlett is the person who taught her what unconditional love looks like - although that love was seriously tested during our intense squabbles over who got to be player number 1 on the Wii. When we were young, matching outfits were a necessity, but we eventually got old and too cool for that (until her little brothers gender reveal where they showed up in the same dress). Watching her grow into this amazing young lady who makes us all proud every day has been one of the greatest joys of our life. She's beautiful, smart, and somehow went from only communicating in squeaks for the first five years of her life to now being our favourite face to see at a family function.
Conor
Groomsman
The literal dad of the group, one of the first to dish out abuse in the group chat, especially when it comes to winding up poor Milks. But deep down, he's all soft edges, and chocolate oranges. A mate you can speak to anytime about anything, he's equal parts mush and menace. His biggest achievement is winning the pub golf recently after a disastrous performance on a Norwich weekend away; I can guarantee he will still be talking about it on the wedding day.
Louise
Bridesmaid
This Bridesmaid is the Groom's God sister. Born just a few weeks apart, they have always been exceptionally close. The groom always had an invitation to her legendary house parties when they were teenagers, not only because she knew how to throw one, but mainly because he was trying to flirt with one of her friends. Very quickly he had to learn how to survive the infamous King-household skittle bombs. It was no wonder that when the Bride met Louise after only dating the Groom for a few weeks, she knew instantly they were two peas in a pod. Our Louise is wonderfully crazy in the best possible way and always the life of the party, bringing energy and laughs wherever she goes. She’s the absolute most fun to be around… but let’s just agree to keep her away from the cake when she starts cartwheeling on the dancefloor!
Callum
Groomsman
This groomsman is a chill guy in the best possible way. He and the groom once saw 50 cent in concert which they still talk about like it was a spiritual awakening. On a lads' trip to Poland, he famously sunk 24 shots of vodka, launched himself off an electric scooter, and had to call it a night at 9pm after realising he had taken it too far once again. He's got a razor-sharp sense of humour, and always ready with a meme in the group chat. He's a top tier mate, but still blames the groom for losing pub golf (he is certain it was sabotage).
