Wedding Party
Pallas Seow-Lyon
Maid of Honor
Pallas and Abby met each other for the first time in Year 9 when they were seated next to each other in the seating plan. They became fast friends and have remained close through all of the different phases of life; from being mall rats, ditching school to make pasta bake, having bad taste in men and soul-destroying jobs, to being confident, and self-assured women. They have bickered, argued, fought, and forgiven each other countless times throughout their friendship, a testament to their collective stubbornness, and strength of their relationship. Pallas is a dear and treasured friend for a lifetime.
Brandon Fleet
Best Man
Brandon and Sean met in 1999 at primary school, quickly becoming good friends. Despite all odds, they remain good friends to this day, over 20 years later. Ask him why he is a fan of tractors.
Sonya McLeod
Bridesmaid
Sonya and Abby met in Year 7 but details are murky on how they became friends because they were never in the same class. Their friendship bloomed over Vodafone free weekend texts and love for RnB music. The vast majority of their friendship has been enriched through messaging mediums as Sonya moved to Melbourne in the early stages of their friendship. Sonya continues to be a beloved friend and confidante even through physical distance.
Matthew Day
Groomsman
Matthew and Sean met at Westlake, and their friendship was forged as fellow travelers aboard the infamous 33 afterschool bus. The Day residence was the typical place to find Sean, Brandon and Matthew after school or during weekends for many years. Matthew is a valued and laid-back friend, with which enjoyable times are always guaranteed.
Kerry Janes
Bridesmaid
Kerry and Abby knew each other for many years before becoming close friends. It was through their love of K-pop that their friendship really took off. They nourished their friendship through good food, finding K-pop clubs on drunken nights in town, and from embracing being a hairbreadths away from crying at all times. Kerry is kind and caring, a person that anyone would be lucky to be friends with.
Jeff Her
Groomsman
Jeff and Sean met as Westlake and bonded over common games played, from DotA to WoW, back to DotA and everything else in between. Since then, Jeff and Sean have participated together in many different hobbies such as board and tabletop games, table tennis, amateur day-trading and most recently laser tag. Jeff is driven and competitive, and always willing to discuss unconventional approaches to challenges.
Tracy Solea
Bridesmaid
Tracy and Abby had known each other for years as acquaintances but didn’t become close friends until Year 11. Their mutual love for pop culture, movies, tv shows, and reading brought them closer together and elevated their obsessions to perhaps an unhealthy level. Their friendship has been full of uncontrollable laughter and silliness.
Darrin Cooke
Groomsman
Darrin first met Sean in 1991, and has been the longest serving friend and brother that Sean has. Always a kind, caring, level-headed and supportive presence in the family, Darrin has been a source of guidance and inspiration throughout the years.
