Wedding Party
James
Groom
Northern nerd, Robot Wars enthusiast, likes playing in the dirt (e.g., clay). One of two people getting married.
Laura
Bride
Southern nerd, triumphant result of splicing human and llama DNA. Also getting married.
Bramble
Ring Bearer
Fluffy agent of chaos, probably going to lick, sniff or shove nose into crotch of guests, shouldn't be given canapes as it could end badly for us all.
Dan
Best Man
Strengths: science, boardgames, cooking, making pickle martinis Weaknesses: drawing arms with the correct number of elbows.
Lorna
Bridesmaid
Dedicated to being a complete loony with Laura since 1994, film-buff, creater and player of excellent games of all sorts.
Cath
Bridesmaid
Surprisingly receptive to (tolerant of?) Laura's jokes since 2001, book-nerd, best person to accompany you to Disneyland.
Mik
Father of the Bride
Tech-geek, sausage roll fan and the only problem he can't solve with something from his workshop, his duct-tape or his 3-D printer is the Trump presidency.
Ein
Mother of the Bride
Has never met a bird or colour blue she didn't like, excellent Nanny B to both Bramble and Felix, bird eggshell and seashell collector.
Roger
Father of the Groom
Sworn nemesis of squirrels, rabbits, and the price of a pint down South.
Brenda
(Not at all) Evil stepmother of the bride
Green fingered and bakes the best banana bread. Wondering where she is? Check the dancefloor!
Daisy
Can I get a witness?
James' long-suffering sister. Cat-wrangler, duck-protector, and all-around beacon of joy. Can usually be found marauding the Wharfe in her foldable canoe.
Tom
Can I get another witness?
Brother of Laura, for his sins. BBQ expert and small-holding wrangler. Don't pull his finger.

FAQs
Question
What's happening with names?
Answer
Laura is keeping her name, James is keeping his name. As far as we know, Bramble is also keeping her name, but we support her right to change her mind in future.
Question
How traditional will this wedding be?
Answer
3/10, tops. There will be: - The usual legal shenanigans - Speeches of varying quality - Good food - Bad dancing - Donkeys There will not be: - A bouquet toss - A father-daughter dance (because Laura's Dad is unable to execute the full twisting lift, double pike, into the splits that Laura requested) - A rehearsal dinner (we've already had plenty of practice in the arts of eating food and drinking wine) We'll also be walking each other down the aisle on the day - we want to start this shindig off together!
Question
Do we need to bring confetti?
Answer
No! The venue will provide its own biodegradeable confetti on the day. If you bring your own the animals might eat it and we would have to send you the vet's bill.
Question
Can we smoke/vape at the venue?
Answer
Smoking is permitted outdoors and in the gardens. Please use ashtrays provided and avoid throwing butts on the ground in the garden, on the paths, or in the courtyard. There is a very real fire risk due to the ancient wooden buildings! The only thing on fire at our wedding should be your dance moves!
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
James and Laura will be pretty fancy, but guests are welcome to opt for semi-formal attire (think: no black-tie or ball gowns, but no crocs either). Please feel free to wear white if you wish. Inflatable T-Rex or flamingo costumes would be welcome and will make the couple squeal with joy. Weather permittng, the ceremony will be outside so make sure you are equipped for walking on grass and keeping warm.
Question
How do I get home when you kick us out at 11pm?
