James and Dean first crossed paths in high school, forming an unexpected yet strong friendship. James, ever the creature of habit, stuck to cheese-and-bacon rolls for lunch, while Dean’s adventurous palate had him trying anything and everything. Despite their differences, their friendship grew into something unshakeable. Fast forward a few years, and Dean met Angelika.

True to her word, here we are today! Dean has been a constant in their lives ever since, sharing in milestones, laughs, and memories. With his unmatched loyalty and humour, Dean is the brother James never had, making him the perfect choice to stand by James’ side on this unforgettable day.

Angelika and Ebony’s journey to becoming inseparable began when they were starting out as solicitors. Their friendship truly blossomed at the firm’s Christmas party—a night neither will ever forget. It all started when James, in a spirited moment, was enthusiastically bringing drinks to another man and spinning him around in the air. That man, as it turned out, was Ebony’s fiancé, Tom. Mortified by the situation, Angelika and Ebony began buying drinks for one another to smooth things over—and the rest is history. A few days later, fate intervened again when Ebony was relocated to share an office with Angelika after management decided her vibrant personality was just a bit too much for the quieter crowd. From that point on, their bond became unshakable. Now more like sisters than friends, Ebony’s kind soul, loyalty, and unmatched energy make her the perfect Maid of Honour.

Kristian became a part of James and Angelika’s lives when they moved into their home, but their friendship truly began months later when Angelika started messaging him on social media.
