Our Bridal Party

Zoe Simpson

Matron of Honour

My lifelong best friend first, and cousin second. We’ve shared a lifetime of memories together, and I love all of our inside jokes. I couldn’t imagine having anyone else as my Matron of Honour. It has been such a joy to watch Zoe become a mother of two in her newest season of life!

Madalyn Date

Best (Wo)Man

Madalyn is way more than just a sister to me; she has been a constant source of support, love and comfort throughout my life. Truly no one is as perfect or more deserving to stand by my side as my Best (Wo)Man, on this special day. She is one of the most important people in my life, and i love her so dearly

Annalise

Bridesmaid

My ring-in big sister, who has been there through every stage of life. I feel so lucky to have had such a kind, gentle and loving role model. Annalise is one of the most reliable, intentional and supportive people I know, with a heart that always seems to have room for everyone.

Blake

Groomsman

One of my longest and best friends. We met in Year 8 and have remained friends to this day. Through many late-night gaming sessions, we built a stronger friendship than I could ever have imagined. Having him as one of my groomsmen was one of the best choices I’ve ever made.

Jarni

Bridesmaid

One of the greatest friends I could have asked for, who became our much-loved housemate in Wollongong and such an important part of our lives. So many of my favourite memories have Jarni in them, and I’m so grateful that working in Wollongong gave me a wonderful lifelong friend.

Daniel

Groomsman

Even though we both married into the family, it feels like we are blood. Daniel is one of the funniest and most entertaining people I’ve ever met—possibly the only person as funny as me. He is more than comic relief, though; he’s a loving husband, a great father and an even better friend.

Paige

Bridesmaid

We have known each other since our early school days, and Paige has remained by my side through all these years. I’m so grateful that our friendship has stood the test of time, and that we have only grown closer as the years have gone by. We have more in common now than ever before!

Charlie

Groomsman

I met Charlie at a volleyball club practice when we were asked to grab a partner. I chose him purely for his height, but he became one of my closest friends. He’s the guy who is into the same geeky stuff as me and is always up for anything. He is one of the kindest and most positive people I have ever met—someone I know I’ll be friends with for many years to come.

Elli

Bridesmaid

What started as a workplace friendship quickly became something much more—we clicked almost instantly. I’m so lucky to have such a fun and carefree person in my life, and I’m grateful that our paths crossed. If Euro summer was a person, it’s Elli!

Nathaneal

Groomsman

When I met Amelia, I didn’t just get a lifelong partner—I also got a lifelong brother. I met Nathaneal when he was 12 years old, and I’ve watched him grow from a little video-game-loving boy into a great young man who is always up for a beer. I’m sure if you were to offer him one, he wouldn't turn it down.
