Natalie & Ricardo
Wedding Party
Mike & Cindy Lackey
Parents of the Bride
They're not regular parents, they're cool parents! A party is never complete without Mike's epic jokes and Cindy's famous stories. These two made (literally) Natalie into the woman she is today and she cannot thank them enough for making this #BigFatPortugueseWedding happen!
Fátima & Virgílio da Silva
Parents of the Groom
The best parents in the world (tied with Mike & Cindy of course)! Virgílio has the funniest laugh and 100 different nicknames given by Ricardo's friends, and Fátima has the biggest heart and incredible patience to deal with children at school everyday... and Ricardo! Ricardo couldn't ask for any better than these two and loves them endlessly.
Jenevieve Lackey
Co-Maid of Honor
Big sis, best friend, role model, and planning extraordinaire, Jen is the ultimate MOH. Nat couldn't do this without her favorite foodie!
Rafa Jesus
Best Man
This best man decision was made at 4am, after a night of drinking, with a tight hug and a kebab in their hands. Rafa & Rico are always ready to "avacalhar” - a term you will learn during the wedding!
Julia Lackey
Co-Maid of Honor
Best friends since birth, Nat & Juj are a sister duo that cannot be tamed. Watch out for her on the dancefloor, her footwork is something serious!
Diogo Carvalho
Groomsman
Technically a cousin, but basically a little brother, Diogo looked so much like Rico as a child, the only way to distinguish them was by their clothes!
India Robinson
Bridesmaid
What began with a water bottle compliment at soccer practice quickly turned into a best friendship that's lasted over a decade.
João Silva
Groomsman
João, better known as Johnny Del Pipe, loves a beer… or ten. He owns the best restaurant in town, along with the fluffiest beard!
Carlie Couch
Bridesmaid
Soccer teammate turned forever friend, Car Couch is always the life of the party & brings the Southern Charm with her everywhere she goes.
Kitó Carvalho
Groomsman
A true legend, Kitó will be the first one up and the last one at the party. Ask him any question about soccer, I mean any, and he'll know the answer.
Ashley Trice
Bridesmaid
While they may not be blood sisters, Nat & Ash are #ZistersForLife who find themselves in endless shenanigans together.
Make Pedroso
Groomsman
He has a heart as big as his ears and is the only goalkeeper in the world with no arms. No need for a wedding animator when Make is present!
Bekah Lait
Bridesmaid
3,000 miles away but as close to a sister as a cousin can get, Bekah and Nat have shared countless epic memories together both in Canada & stateside.
Guillermo Lazcano
Groomsman
Roommate and coaching partner for many years, Guille has the best genetics ever, but keeps telling us that his abs are “all hard work.”
Beni Beijinho
Da Silva Doggo
Beni Beijinho, the newest (and cutest) member of the Da Silva family, unfortunately will not be able to attend the wedding, but will be there in spirit!
