Introducing the beautiful Matron of Honour, Kate! A true constant in Hayley’s life for nearly 18 years, Kate has been there through every milestone and memory, making her the perfect choice to stand by Hayley today. Her infectious laughter and radiant smile light up every room, and she’s a true ray of sunshine to all who know her. Watch out for her on the dance floor when Limp Bizkit comes on – she’s got moves! Kate is also a dedicated mother, a loyal wife, and a compassionate soul, with a grace and elegance that would make her idol, Grace Kelly, proud. And yes, she definitely appreciates a good glass of wine!

Next, we have the lovely Bridesmaid, Katie! She’s Jackson’s little sister and Hayley’s soon-to-be sister-in-law – but she already feels like family! Katie’s honesty, calming presence, and beautiful nature make her the perfect Bridesmaid, especially as she’s always there to help Hayley feel relaxed and carefree. A natural beauty with a sun-kissed glow, Katie has a passion for all things beauty and style, and she’s our little fashion guru! Embracing everyone with kindness and love, Katie is the cherished “baby” of both families, and we’re all incredibly protective of our sweet sun bunny.

Meet Bridesmaid Maryke!  Soon to be Hayley’s sister-in-law, Maryke is engaged to Hayley’s brother Blake, and her candid, down-to-earth nature makes her an incredible addition to the bridal party. She knows just when to keep things real, which Hayley truly appreciates. Originally from South Africa, Maryke brings a calm, grounding presence, shaped by her love for the beauty of African wildlife and a spirit of independence. She’s a driven businesswoman who’s not afraid to get her hands dirty, whether it’s camping and 4WD adventures with Blake or tackling new challenges. Another brilliant and inspiring woman Hayley is so grateful to have by her side!

Introducing the Best Man, Andrew! Jackson’s father and lifelong best mate, these two are truly inseparable. From early morning golf (even if it’s a bit of a hangover cure) to sharing a beer at the pub, Andrew is Jackson’s greatest confidant and has always had his son’s best interests at heart. Known for his quick wit and passionate energy, Andrew inspires those around him and welcomed Hayley into the family with open arms the moment Jackson expressed his love for her. A dedicated sports fan with a special love for Welsh Rugby, Andrew’s strong family values are deeply rooted in Jackson, creating a foundation of family that’s admired by all. And if he goes missing, you’ll probably find him at the casino!

Introducing Groomsman Toby, one of Jackson's closest mates from school days! Toby has known Jackson long enough to be familiar with all his mischievous quirks, making him the perfect groomsman to keep things in check. Whether it was dominating on the sports field or standing side by side as house leaders at TSS, Toby has always been a steady presence in Jackson’s life. Known affectionately as “the doctor in the house,” Toby is not only admired for his intelligence but also for his Ironman endurance. Jackson used to joke that Hayley couldn’t meet Toby because he was the “better-looking, more brilliant friend”—but lucky for Jackson, Hayley only has eyes for him!

Introducing Groomsman Blake, Hayley's older brother and Jackson’s soon-to-be brother-in-law! Born exactly 1 year, 1 week, and 1 day before Hayley, Blake has always been her fierce protector and best friend, forming an unbreakable bond and even developing their own language as kids. 

Blake was quick to give Jackson a hard time on meeting for Jackson and Hayley's first date, putting him to the test with some fun banter —but five years later, Jackson’s still here and Blake happy to hand the batton over! The two quickly built mutual respect, sharing laughs and banter from day one, with a quiet understanding and camaraderie that’s developed over time.
