By Our Side
The people standing with us on our wedding day may come from different corners of our lives—and even the world—but each one holds a meaningful place in our hearts. We are so grateful to have them beside us as we begin this new chapter.
Mo
Man of Honour
A Chosen Constant.
Mo has been more than a friend—he’s been a guide, a mentor, and a steadfast presence in the bride’s life. Walking her down the aisle and sharing the first dance are more than symbolic roles; they are a reflection of the deep respect, love, and influence he has had on her journey. So much of who she is today has been shaped by his wisdom, strength, and unwavering support. Having him by her side on this day is not just an honour—it’s a testament to the chosen bonds that become family.

A Presence That Speaks Volumes
Francie, Rayno’s eldest brother, will be travelling from England to be part of this special day—a gesture that carries deep meaning for the groom. His presence is a quiet but powerful symbol of the bond they share as brothers. It’s a reminder that no matter the distance, family shows up for each other. Having Francie by Rayno’s side adds a depth of honour and pride to this celebration, and his presence will forever be part of what makes this day so unforgettable.

groomsman
A Family’s Gift Across the Miles
Wouter, Rayno’s brother, will be travelling from France with his family to share in this momentous day. Their presence is a deeply appreciated gift—one that speaks to the strength of family and the love that transcends borders. To have Wouter standing with Rayno as a brother, and to welcome his family into this celebration, is something we hold with immense gratitude. Their presence is not only special—it adds to the legacy of love this wedding represents.
hane
bridesmaid
Gentle Strength and Joyful Soul. Hane is a woman of depth, grace, and light-hearted warmth—the kind of friend whose presence brings both comfort and laughter. She has a way of reminding me what matters, grounding me with her honesty, and lifting me with her joy. Her loyalty runs deep, and her involvement in this wedding journey has meant more than I could ever express. I am endlessly grateful for the bond we share, and even more grateful that she’ll be standing beside me on this beautiful day.
reta
bridesmaid
Grace, Grit, and the Realest Kind of Friend
Reta is more than a bridesmaid—she’s one of the most grounded, inspiring women I know. She moves through life with a strength and grace that leaves me in awe, and somehow manages to keep it real while lifting everyone around her. She teaches me something new every day—about resilience, about joy, about being unapologetically yourself. I have so much respect for the woman she is and the friend she continues to be. To have her by my side on this day is both an honour and a reflection of the sisterhood we’ve built.
