Adam—the groom, the legend, and the man who has somehow survived Charlotte’s wedding planning whirlwind. Cool, calm, and always up for a laugh, Adam is the kind of guy who takes everything in stride—even when that means enthusiastically nodding along to countless wedding Pinterest boards. He has, of course, been fully involved in every single detail of the wedding process… if by ‘fully involved,’ you mean nodding at the right moments, saying, ‘Whatever you want,' and being given occasional updates while he’s busy checking the latest football scores. Truly, an inspiration to grooms everywhere!

A true gamer at heart, Adam has spent years perfecting his strategy skills—whether that’s in Halo, Football Manager, or figuring out how to justify yet another completely unnecessary football shirt purchase. No matter the team, no matter the country, if it’s a football shirt, Adam probably owns it (or will soon). Speaking of Football Manager, he fully blames his dad, Chris, for the addiction—though we all know he wouldn’t have it any other way.

But beyond football and gaming, Adam is always up for an adventure. He thrives on spontaneity, loves to travel—especially to Greece—and never says no to trying something new (especially if it involves a new pint to taste along the way). Whether it’s exploring a new city, testing out a new hobby, or finding the best local beer, Adam is always ready to dive in headfirst.

Adam has a heart of gold. He’s the kind of friend who’s always there when you need him, and the kind of partner who makes Charlotte shine even brighter. And while he might not say it too often, we all know just how lucky he is to have Charlotte—someone who brings out the best in him, supports him in all his adventures, and, most importantly, tolerates the ever-growing football shirt collection. Together, they make the perfect pair.

So let’s raise a glass to Adam—the groom who’s part gamer, part football fanatic, part travel enthusiast, and ready to step into his biggest role yet—Charlotte's husband. Cheers to him!

Now, let’s talk about Charlotte—the bride, the absolute boss of this operation, and the undisputed queen of cocktails. Whether she’s sipping on a perfectly mixed drink, planning her next adventure, or juggling a million things at once, she does it all with style and a smile. Charlotte is the kind of woman who knows what she wants and makes it happen; if multitasking were an Olympic sport, Charlotte would have taken home gold by now—especially when it comes to wedding planning, which, let’s be honest, has completely taken over her personality at this point.

Charlotte has a head full of ideas, a filled Pinterest board and a heart full of love, which she shares with everyone lucky enough to know her—especially Adam. He brings out the best in her (and, let’s be honest, deserves a medal for all of the incredible patience he's shown her as she’s turned every conversation, shopping trip, and free moment into something wedding-related). She’s incredibly lucky to have Adam in her life, though we all know he’s just as lucky to have her! Together, they’re the perfect match, whether they’re winning at The Game of Life or just winning at life in general.

And let’s not forget Charlotte’s intense wedding training regime—not just for planning, but for dancing. She has been preparing for this moment, ensuring she can spend the entire night on the dance floor without a single break. So if you were hoping for a sit-down chat, good luck catching her between spins! How Adam has kept her sane throughout the whole wedding planning process, we will never know.

And honestly, we’re all a little shocked that there isn’t a Winnie the Pooh reference hidden somewhere in the wedding decor—because if anyone could have found a way to make that work, it’s Charlotte!

Let’s raise a glass (preferably a cocktail) to Charlotte: the bride who’s part elegance, part chaos, part professional wedding planner, and fully committed to dancing the night away. Cheers to her!

Let’s hear it for Gina—the maid of honour, the bride’s sister, and Charlotte’s lifelong partner in crime. Gina is not just Charlotte’s sibling; she’s also her co-conspirator in everything from childhood mischief to planning the ultimate dream wedding. Together, they’ve curated the most epic wedding Pinterest board the world has ever seen, filled with stunning ideas, colour schemes, and at least one suggestion involving fireworks (which, sadly, didn’t make the final cut).

Gina has been there every step of the way, from helping choose the perfect dress to making sure Charlotte didn’t go overboard on the DIY. She’s the kind of sister who knows exactly when to give a pep talk, when to bring the snacks, and when to remind you that nobody will notice if the centrepieces aren’t perfectly symmetrical. Known for her quick wit and even quicker comebacks, Gina is the life of the party (and the first person you call when you need a reality check).

Gina’s stepping into her role as maid of honour with the same grace, humour, and subtle bossiness that makes her the ultimate sister. On the big day, she’ll be the one making sure Charlotte's dress is perfect, the bridesmaids are looking fabulous and that no one steals the last glass of sparkling cocktail before the bride gets one! Let’s raise a glass to Gina, the maid of honour who’s always been by Charlotte’s side, has enough sass to keep everyone on their toes and will be there with the emergency stash of safety pins and snacks on the big day.

Cheers to Gina!

Georgia, the bridesmaid extraordinaire. Known for her quick wit and infectious laugh, she’s the one keeping spirits high and making sure to keep Adam in check on the big day.

Whether she’s helping Charlotte stay calm or starting the conga line, Georgia is guaranteed to bring the fun—and possibly a bottle of Disarrano in her handbag. She and Charlotte are the ultimate tag team gaming duo, sharing laughs, cocktails, and just the right amount of mischief along the way. They can communicate with a single look (usually one that says, ‘We’ve got this’). If you’re thinking of challenging them, just know they’ve probably already read the rulebook, developed a strategy, and are mentally celebrating their win.

She has been a loyal member of Team Bride, and she’s also secretly been working on her dance moves to make sure she dominates the floor during the evening festival (watch out, everyone!). Georgia’s been there every step of the way to make sure today is as incredible as her brother and his bride deserve—while making it all look effortless.

Here’s to Georgia: a bridesmaid who proves that being supportive, stylish, and slightly sassy is a winning combination.

Cheers to Georgia!

Let’s take a moment to celebrate Courtney—the bridesmaid who’s not just one of Charlotte’s oldest friends but also her Twinnie. If you see her across the room and think, ‘Wait, isn’t that the bride?’ don’t worry—you’re not the first, and you definitely won’t be the last!

She’s been by Charlotte's side every step of the way, offering endless support, encouragement, lending an ear when needed, or, in this case, making sure Charlotte’s wedding day is nothing short of magical.

Courtney and Charlotte go way back, sharing a lifetime of memories, inside jokes, and the kind of bond that only comes from years of laughter, support, and adventures like their iconic trip to Mallorca. A holiday filled with pure relaxation, sunny days, and of course, the iconic nights dancing at the holiday club… with none other than Pongo! (If you know, you know!) Her big heart, genuine kindness, and fun-loving spirit make her an absolute joy to be around. Whether she’s helping to calm pre-wedding jitters or making sure everything runs smoothly on the big day, Courtney is the true definition of a loyal and loving friend.

Let’s raise a glass to Courtney: the bridesmaid who’s been by Charlotte’s side through it all and who’s basically her twin—but with fewer wedding responsibilities.

Cheers to Courtney!

Let’s hear it for Sophie—the bridesmaid who’s proof that you don’t need to know someone forever to become their partner-in-adventure (and occasional questionable purchases). Sophie and Charlotte became fast friends, bonding over their shared love of laughter, theatre, life’s adventures, and, of course, gin and rum festivals. (Because nothing says ‘friendship’ quite like leaving an event with cowboy hats you absolutely didn’t plan to buy - were cowboy hats on the shopping list? No. Did they rock them like they were born to wear them? Absolutely).

She’s been a rock for Charlotte through every step of the wedding planning process and on the big day, Sophie will be the one making sure Charlotte stays flawless and reminding everyone to “hydrate” (with champagne, of course). She’s the friend you want by your side on any adventure—whether it’s planning a wedding or spontaneously deciding that Tiki Rum shots might be a good idea.

Sophie, the bridesmaid with a heart of gold and a knack for mischief, is the one you want by your side on a big day (or any day, really), keeping the vibes high and the bride smiling.

Let’s raise a glass to Sophie: the bridesmaid who’s living proof that some friendships are meant to be, even if they involve a few unplanned cowboy hats along the way.

Cheers to Sophie!

Let’s give it up for Luke—the best man, Adam’s former roommate, and Charlotte’s favourite inside joke as Adam’s ‘secret boyfriend.’ Luke is the guy who somehow manages to be both a genius and hilariously clueless at the same time—a rare talent we’ve all come to admire.

Luke is Adam’s best mate, trusted sidekick, and the guy who’s been there for every questionable decision Adam’s ever made (some of which might just make it into his speech). As Adam’s old flatmate, these two were practically a married couple. They had synchronised bathroom schedules, endless debates about who was supposed to take out the bins, and a shared love for Star Wars (yes, they watched the entire saga together—no interruptions). If that’s not dedication, we don’t know what is.

Luke is stepping into his role as best man, proving that even if he sometimes forgets where he left his keys, he’s the perfect person to stand by Adam’s side - and he takes his duties as seriously as he takes his pint (so... not very). He's there to keep Adam calm, create a speech with the right amount of roasting, and avoid any jokes that might make Charlotte reconsider her life choices.

Let’s raise a glass to Luke: the best man who’s always been there for Adam—whether it’s sharing laughs, movie marathons, or a slightly-too-intense bromance.

Cheers to Luke!

Let’s hear it for Josh—the groomsman who’s been one of Adam’s mates since their high school days. These two have been through it all, from classroom antics to their legendary trip to Santander, which, knowing these two, probably involved a lot of laughs and a bit of chaos. They've shared everything from memories of mischief to camping adventures at Creamfields.

He's always got Adam’s back—and probably a joke or two up his sleeve. Known for his quick wit and laid-back charm, Josh has been training for this role by perfecting his suit pose and practicing his beer-to-dance-floor ratio.

Of course, the real rivalry between these two comes down to football. Josh is an Everton supporter, and Adam doesn’t let him forget it. Adam loves reminding him that he's supporting a team that’s—how do we put this nicely?—not exactly thriving. While Josh stays loyal to the Blues, Adam enjoys pointing out their, um, less-than-stellar moments on the pitch. Adam always manages to get the upper hand, but credit to Josh for sticking to his team through thick and thin (and thinner). It’s all in good fun, though, and their banter is just another part of what makes their friendship so strong.

On the big day, you can count on Josh to bring the fun, deliver some legendary banter, and maybe even bust out a few surprising moves on the dance floor. Just don’t let him near the microphone—he’ll definitely start telling embarrassing stories!

Let’s raise a glass to Josh: the groomsman who’s equal parts loyal friend, football rival, the unofficial nap king of Creamfields, and 100% a great mate.

Cheers to Josh!

Let’s give it up for Ross—the groomsman who proves that friendships born online can turn into lifelong bonds... and a lot of hilarious memories. Ross is one of Adam’s oldest friends, going way back to their online gaming days, where they spent countless late nights saving the world (virtually) and roasting each other (mercilessly). He’s been Adam’s go-to guy for years—from gaming marathons in Edinburgh to unforgettable moments like camping at Creamfields, these two have mastered the art of banter and barely surviving on no sleep.

Ross is always up for a good time, even if he doesn’t always arrive on time—fashionably late is his signature move. Whether it’s a late-night gaming session or a festival adventure, you can count on Ross to bring the laughs, the chaos, and the unforgettable memories.

And let’s not forget the legendary moment during a Virtue livestream when, after a few too many drinks, Ross twerked on Adam in front of Charlotte and her family. Yes, folks, the internet never forgets... The rest, as they say, is history—and probably a story Charlotte won’t let them live down anytime soon.

Ross will be there on the big day, on time (we hope), ready to bring the laughs, the fun, and maybe a few questionable dance moves.

Let’s raise a glass to Ross: the groomsman who’s part gamer, part festival legend, and 100% fun.

Cheers to Ross!

Let’s hear it for J—the groomsman who bonded with Adam over their shared uni experience, a love of video games, and an uncanny ability to make hide-and-seek in the sports hall sound like the most epic adventure ever (because why stick to normal hobbies when you can go full childhood nostalgia?). These two spent countless hours in the video game society, forming a friendship powered by Halo minigames, shared banter, bad snacks, and even worse sleep schedules. Who says uni life can’t be both productive and ridiculous? As Adam’s trusted sidekick, J has been on hand for plenty of laughs, questionable decisions, and legendary memories over the years (most of which we’re sworn to secrecy about).

J is a loyal friend Adam can always count on, whether it’s for advice, a gaming session, or just a good laugh. They’ve even shared the DJ spotlight, performing online sets together through Virtue, proving that their talents extend far beyond gaming and making them a dynamic duo on the decks as well as the battlefield (whether it’s real or pixelated)

Known for his quick wit and laid-back vibe, J is the kind of groomsman who’s always prepared—whether it’s with an emergency pint or some sarcastic wisdom when Adam needs it most. J is the kind of friend everyone needs—the one you can rely on and who always shows up when it matters.

Let’s raise a glass to J: the groomsman who’s equal parts gamer, DJ extraordinaire, advisor and an all-around legend.

Cheers to J!

Let’s give a big round of applause for the usher, Rhyan—the bride’s brother, the life of the party, and a man of many talents (and even more accents). With his knack for impressions, he’s like a walking comedy show, always ready with a joke or a smile to brighten the day. As the captain of his cricket team, Rhyan knows how to lead and is a leader on and off the field, though we’re guessing his teammates stick around for the banter as much as the cricket. Whether it’s a dodgy accent or a quick joke, he’s guaranteed to have everyone laughing and smiling.

As an usher extraordinaire, he is ready to guide you to your seat with charm, a smile, and possibly some questionable directions. Known for his quick wit and laid-back attitude, Rhyan has been thoroughly trained for his role—or at least told, “just point people in the right direction and try not to cause chaos." He takes his usher duties very seriously… or at least as seriously as someone who’s already planning his first trip to the bar can. Whether it’s helping guests find their way, cracking a joke, or setting the tone for a fun-filled day, Rhyan is guaranteed to keep things entertaining.

Let’s raise a glass to Rhyan: the usher who’s part comedian, part cricket captain, and always ready to bring the fun. If you’re lost or confused, just find Rhyan—he may not have the answer, but he’ll definitely make you laugh along the way!

Cheers to Rhyan!

Let’s give it up for Niall—the usher who’s as passionate about organisation as he is about World of Warcraft, he probably has a raid planned in his calendar right now. Niall and Adam go way back to their uni days, where they bonded through the video game society, with Niall leading the charge as president—ruling the gaming world with a clipboard in one hand and a controller in the other.

Their adventures weren’t just virtual, though. Flat 1C saw its fair share of late-night drinking sessions, epic banter, and moments that probably had the neighbours questioning their life choices. There are some memories there that are probably best left untold. That said, let’s hope Niall handles his drinks a little better at this wedding and makes it to breakfast the next morning—fingers crossed for a full recovery, mate!

Niall is the usher you can count on for two things: pointing you in the right direction (eventually) and keeping everyone laughing while he does it. With his quick humour and easygoing vibe, Niall is more likely to escort you to the bar than your seat—but hey, he’s just making sure you’re hydrated! As Adam’s mate, Niall’s been there for plenty of legendary moments, so it’s only fitting he’s here to help make this day unforgettable (or at least highly entertaining).

Let’s raise a glass to Niall: the usher who’s part guild leader, part organiser extraordinaire, and always a reliable mate (unless it’s the morning after; we'll make sure we get you an extra tea the next morning—no excuses this time, Niall!).

Cheers to Niall!

Let’s give a big shoutout to Nathan—the usher who’s been there for Adam in some of the most memorable ways. As an usher, Nathan’s job is slightly less intense (thankfully). Known for his sense of humour and laid-back vibe, Nathan will make sure everyone feels welcome… even if you end up sitting on the wrong side of the aisle (don’t worry, he’ll blame the seating plan).

Back in the Virtue days, Nathan was the legendary cameraman, making sure the DJ sets looked as smooth as they sounded (and probably laughing at all the behind-the-scenes chaos with precision and a smirk). Whether he was capturing the vibe or cracking jokes, Nathan was always on point.

When he’s not behind the camera, Nathan’s also been Adam’s running buddy, conquering a 10k and a half marathon together—a true feat of endurance, both for their legs and their ability to keep the banter going the entire way. These two pushed through the pain with laughs and determination—because what’s a long-distance run without a bit of friendly competition? They've proved that their legs are as strong as their friendship. With Nathan around, the wedding is guaranteed to be smooth, fun, and maybe just a little competitive—especially if Adam challenges him to a dance-off later!

Let’s raise a glass Nathan: the usher who’s part cameraman, part running man, and 100% the guy you want by your side for a laugh.

Cheers to Nathan!

Now, let’s talk about Archie—the most adorable and possibly the most unpredictable member of the wedding party. Known for his wagging tail, endless enthusiasm, and a slight obsession with treats, he is stepping up to his most important role yet—Ring Bearer Extraordinaire.

Archie is not just any dog; he’s Charlotte and Adam’s furry best friend and the star of their family. As the ring bearer and resident good boy, Archie has one very important job: delivering those rings safely. Don’t let his adorable face fool you, though—he takes his job very seriously… unless there’s a squirrel nearby. He has been "diligently trained" for this (or at least bribed with enough snacks to get him down the aisle). With a bow tie that could rival the groom’s and the rings safely secured (as long as no one mentions fetch), Archie is ready to steal the spotlight—and probably a few hearts—on the big day. Just make sure someone’s ready with a treat at the other end of the aisle… he works for biscuits!

Let’s raise a paw (or a glass) to Archie: the ring bearer who proves that love isn’t just for people, and who’s the only wedding party member guaranteed to look amazing in every photo.

Cheers to Archie!

Let’s hear it for Karen—the ultimate mother of the bride—equal parts loving mum, planning guru, and unofficial wedding day cheerleader. Charlotte’s biggest supporter, and the woman who’s been cheering her on since day one. Karen is the kind of mum who’s always there with love and advice; she’s the glue that holds everything together, and the wedding is no exception. She’s been there every step of the way, offering advice, emotional support, and the occasional “are you sure about that?” (spoiler: Karen was always right).

Known for her warmth, humour, and ability to keep everything running smoothly, Karen is the one who makes multitasking look easy. Her laughter is contagious, her heart is enormous, and her dedication to Charlotte is unmatched.

On the big day, she’ll be ensuring Charlotte's dress stays perfect, everyone’s glasses stay full, and making sure Adam is officially welcomed into the family.

With Karen around, expect plenty of laughs, a few proud tears, and someone always ready to jump in and save the day (with style, of course). She’s the true MVP of the wedding team—and we all know it!

Let’s raise a glass to Karen: the mum who’s always full of love, light, and laughter.

Cheers to Karen!

Let’s give a big round of applause for Kevin—the father of the bride, the silent hero, and the man who probably has a pocket full of sweets right now (and yes, he’s always willing to share). Kevin is the kind of dad who doesn’t need a lot of words to show his love; it’s there in everything he does, from his quiet support to his incredible knack for fixing just about anything.

Kevin has expertly navigated the wedding planning process by offering solid advice like, “whatever Karen says!” and “ask your mum.” Known as the DIY hero and unofficial handyman of the family, Kevin is the first call when something needs building, mending, or miraculously brought back to life. He will be putting those skills to good use, making sure the wedding runs smoothly and on the day, walking his beautiful daughter down the aisle with pride, trying not to get teary-eyed (good luck!). While Karen might be delivering the speech, Kevin’s calm, loving, and quietly resourceful demeanour is doing all the talking for him.

With Kevin around, expect plenty of proud smiles, a few emotional moments, and all sorts of fun that will definitely make it into the wedding memories. He’s ready to give away his little girl, but not without making sure she’s in good hands first!

Let’s raise a glass to Kevin: the dad who’s always ready with a sweet in his pocket, a tool in his hand, and a heart full of love for his daughter on her special day.

Cheers to Kevin!

Elaine, the mother of the groom, is ready to celebrate her son’s big day with style, grace, and probably a pint in hand. Elaine has always been the calm in the storm—though she might sneak a proud tear or two when no one’s looking. Adam’s biggest cheerleader, and, let’s face it, his female twin! From their shared love of Greece to their mutual obsession with always having the newest phone, Elaine and Adam are two peas in a pod. Honestly, if there’s a gadget that promises a slightly shinier screen or a button in a new place, these two are first in line. Who else would share a memory like squeezing a phone to unlock it and finding it hilarious?

Elaine has always been Adam’s rock. She’s not just his mum; she’s his best mate, his biggest cheerleader, and the one who taught him that life is better when it’s filled with love, laughter, and maybe a Greek island or two. Elaine is also the family icon who bought Adam his very first legal pint on Christmas Day—a festive moment that will go down in history as both legendary and perfectly timed. She’s kind, caring, and always there with a warm smile and a listening ear, making her the perfect role model and an extraordinary mum.

With Elaine around, there’ll be plenty of love, laughs, and a touch of sass to keep things fun. She’s not just the mother of the groom—she’s the secret to why Adam turned out so great!

Let’s raise a glass to Elaine: the mum who’s equal parts love, laughter, and a sprinkle of Greek magic.

Cheers to Elaine!

Let’s hear it for Chris—the father of the groom—so we all know who to thank (or blame) for Adam’s sense of humour. Known for his quick wit, calm demeanour, and ability to always have a clever comeback, Chris is ready to celebrate his son’s big day in style. He is the reigning champion of dad jokes, and the man responsible for Adam’s questionable Football Manager addiction. Chris’s love for Liverpool Football Club and Formula 1 runs so deep, that he passed it on to Adam like a family heirloom. Some dads teach life skills—Chris taught Adam the joys of match days, pit stops, and spreadsheets full of imaginary football stats.

Chris is always supportive, whether it’s cheering Adam on in life or being the first to laugh at his own dad jokes (which, let’s face it, is the sign of a true pro). Adam might blame him for spending countless hours tweaking imaginary line-ups on Football Manager, but deep down, he knows those moments are all part of their bond.

On the big day, Chris will be beaming with pride as Adam ties the knot, and while he’s leaving the limelight to the bride and groom, Chris is always ready with a witty one-liner or a well-timed toast. With Chris around, there will definitely be laughs, a proud dad moment or two, and maybe even a subtle attempt to outdo everyone else’s dance moves. He’s not just the father of the groom—he’s the guy who helped make this day possible, one dad joke at a time!

Let’s raise a glass to Chris: the dad who brings the laughs, the love, and a hint of mischief.

Cheers to Chris!
