Wedding Party
Tristan Botha
Matron of Honor
My cousin, my best friend, equal parts lifesaver and bad influence, always along for the ride through questionable teenage decisions and somehow keeping me alive through it all. To be stuck with this one since I was 1 years old has been the biggest blessing.
Oli Matheson
Best Man
Oli’s been by my side through it all - part brother, part best mate, part unpaid therapist. His support never wavers, and somehow, he still puts up with me. Unshakably loyal and always in my corner, I couldn’t imagine doing life without him.
Bronte Baker
Bridesmaid
Best friend since school, from late-night chats in sleeping bags on the banks of the Orange River to water polo captains, now doing life side by side and keeping each other D2E. Bron is very much expected to be one of the main characters on the dance floor at the wedding.
Mike Blankenberg
Groomsman
Mike “Blanky” Blankenberg has been by my side since childhood - over 30 years of friendship, mischief, and stories best left off this website. Fiercely loyal, always up for a good time, and a permanent fixture on the golf course, Blanky’s the kind of mate everyone hopes to have in their corner.
Tayla du Plessis
Bridesmaid
My twin, born on the same day in Zimbabwe (even Mr Mugabe couldn’t keep us apart), met in the pool in Grade 7 and never looked back, following each other from high school to university and even into our first job, side by side through every chapter.
James McCallum
Groomsman
James McCallum is one of the kindest, gentlest souls you’ll ever meet - until there’s a finish line or a full beer in sight. From primary school days to now, he’s been a fiercely loyal mate. Calm, kind, and collected.
Amber Dendy Young
Bridesmaid
Thrown together as roomies on our first SA tour, bonded through swim tests and shared chaos, she gave me a second shot at varsity life (even when I was “old” and working), and somehow we’ve come out stronger after every wild chapter together.
David Bryant
Groomsman
Davie “The Dog” Bryant: a lifelong mate, a sharp mind, and a man who’s never missed a good party. From our early school days, Davie’s been one of the most solid and reliable mates I’ve had.
Amica Hallendorf
Bridesmaid
Bonded through icy swims from Zsolt’s brutal sessions to Camps Bay open-water swims, sharing stomach-aching laughs and pre-final nerves, with a loyalty and love that’s truly something special. Our shared view of life's priorities has only made this friendship stronger over the ages.
Keith Scott
Groomsman
Keith “Spotty Dog” Scott - proof that varsity friendships are built on equal parts loyalty and questionable decisions. From golf tours to long braai sessions, he’s been front row for all the good times and always has your back.
Pongi Quarmby
Bridesmaid
Met when we still wore material swimming caps (jokes, we never did that), from swimming galas that later turned into water polo tours, to bonding over a love of consistent training and hill sprints in the dark, we’ve been through it all, from heartbreaks to marathons, Pongs has been a steady, home-away-from-home kind of friend over the years.
Mike Muller
Groomsman
Michael “Foley” Muller - former rugby teammate turned permanent doubles partner in life. From the Bishops 1st XV to golf and padel courts, he’s brought talent, loyalty, and a lot more laughs than necessary. Fiercely loyal, and somehow always the funniest guy in the room - he’s a tough act to beat.
Emma Joubert
Bridesmaid
Unexpected roommates created the foundation of this special friendship, built on late nights of series watching (cringier and more disturbing the better) and discussing and full-heartedly agreeing on the thinness requirements of the stem of a wine glass. Em is fiercely loyal, always backing me even when I’ve completely lost the plot, and truly the kind of friend you want in your corner.
Tony Haralambous
Groomsman
Tony is as big in personality as he is in loyalty - a man who shows up, stands up, and never backs down for his friends. Fuelled by brandy, golf, and a love for aeroplanes, he’s always ready for anything - and always someone you can call.
