Sophia & James

Wedding Party

Marysia Zielke

Mother of the Bride

Mother of the Bride, a fabulous and inspiring woman. Always there for love and support and the head of the Zielke family - she has the nickname 'the general'. She is so happy to share her home with everyone, and to celebrate her daughter and new son in laws marriage! You'll almost certainly find her on the dance floor!

Sue Jones

Mother of the Groom

An amazing mum who’s always been there for James. Kind, caring and selfless. Always helping James achieve his goals, providing the backup and support he has needed. An awesome chef who makes the best lasagna, they also enjoy a party whenever they get a chance.

Melissa Tomlinson

Maid of Honor

Sophia and Melissa met at Leeds Uni when they were doing an MBA - where they kept each other sane, never stopped laughing and decided that their spirit animal was an octopus. Melissa is always the most fun, seriously organised and is really the most wonderful friend. Always fabulous, ridiculous and people think we're mad..she really is one in a million!

Federico Sachetto

Best Man

James met Federico whilst working at Merlo UK. There was an instant connection that blossomed into an awesome friendship, mainly around our love for coffee, alcohol and pineapple on pizza (Fed’s fav). Amazing nights out and fun times at the Isle of Wight festival, have created memories that have bonded us for a lifetime.

Alexa Dessay

Bridesmaid

Sophia and Alexa met around 15 years ago when they worked for Dior, where we were nicknamed the blondies. A true friend who has always been there in the good times and kept Sophia going in the bad. Alexa is a real rock and they could chat on the phone for hours and still have things to say! She is always ready for a good dance and to solve all the problems! Sophia couldn't be without her!

Laura Hopson

Bridesmaid

Sophia met Laura at Leeds uni during their undergrad in 2006. They share a love for fashion and shopping and Sophia is responsible for Laura's top 3 hangovers. Always ready for a holiday, an espresso martini and to dance the night away to all the Latin tunes! An amazing friend who Sophia can always rely on for good advice, laughs and convince me I deserve that new pair of shoes! A real ride or die!

Sion Hitchmough

Groomsman

James met this Welsh legend whilst working on a construction site in Peterborough together. Having forged a bond working side by side with each other, we soon realised we like to work hard and play harder. A true friend you can call on anytime, he’s always up for anything, as long as it’s fun! Just keep an eye out in case we break into some Welsh singing, with a rum and coke in hand.

Adam Zielke

Groomsman

Sophia's brother and James' new brother in law a real character and always brings the energy! Adam and James bonded over their love for a good pint and you can usually find them drinking Estrella in the Tannery. Sophia & Adam have always been extremely close, they have their own language, are generally a bit weird and have always supported each other through everything.
