The Sibbalds

A small but strong unit, Liz, Steven and Emma (Bridezilla). Brian, Emma's dad is no longer with us but we know he'll be up there laughing at us on the day stressing about bunting and watching Steven doesn't get too drunk!

The Bridesmaids

A diverse mix of 3 of Emma's best friends, there is Amanda, my school best friend and her little girl Macey (Emma's Goddaughter) is our Flower Girl. Kate is a school friend and travelling companion of mine, we went to Austrailia together and drove a campervan around the desert. Last but not least! Jude, our Chief Bridemaid, I bumped into her in a street in Sydney and we have been firm friends ever since. Here's some embarassing pics!

The Best Man and Ushers

The Best Man is Martin, Tom's best mate of over 20 years, believe it or not Martin was much taller than Tom when they first met. Head Usher is Jamie, Tom's big brother. The final 2 Ushers are Tom 'Jnr' Denton and Pete 'Texas' Moneypenny, these 2 characters are Tom's best pals from his wonderful time at Blackpool uni.
