Joshua & Loretta
Wedding Party
Little Josh
Best Man
He had no say in the name, and he is now forever is introduced as 'this is little Josh'. From the days of skipping uni to go to the gym, tennis and a pint, and now a home cooked meal whenever I turn up uninvited, Josh has always been by my side. He is a true and talented singer as the whole house could hear during his extended karaoke sessions in the shower. Josh will go above and beyond to look out for and care for others, I am honoured to have him as my brother. The best 'best man' anyone can ask for.
Alice
Bridesmaid
Alice, the Duracell bunny of the group, except when the battery runs out and she will find anywhere to recharge (nap). She never fails to make us laugh, a bundle of fun and the life and soul of the party. It won’t take long to get Alice onto the dance floor and her moves really are something to behold! Alice is the sort of person who believes you if you said that “gullible” was written on the ceiling, but we love her for her ability to take things at face value. She sees the best in everyone and encourages us all to be better.
Will
Groomsman
Will, the Labrador of the group, after many farewells and goodbye parties he always seems to find his way back. His filter is nonexistent, and lacks the ability to say no to a pint. If he has said goodbye at any point in the day, don’t worry he’ll be back, or you’ll find him at the bar (Maximum 3 drinks, the bar has been notified). From when we met Will to now, he has grown in maturity and style but never letting go of who he is. Thanks for always saying yes to a pint.
Sophie
Bridesmaid
You’ll probably hear her referred to most often as ‘Sophie Kelly’, no one knows why or how she started being full named, but it’s stuck, and we think she secretly likes it. It’s Sophie we must thank for introducing Josh and Loretta to each other, although it was in the context of housemates, she still likes to remind us of her matchmaking abilities! Sophie is one of the gentlest, kindest and most loving people you could hope to meet. Wise beyond her years and always up for a coffee, chat and a sweet treat, just don’t ask her to do the washing up, you’ll only end up redoing it.
Rich
Groomsman
I can guarantee at some point in the day everyone will meet Rich's second personality, Borat inspired, “THAT’S MY WIFE”. Rich will most likely be found in the middle of the dance floor pulling out the worm or forcing the band to let him on the mic…. don’t let him. Rich inspires, leads and encourages us, speaking life into everyone around him. An absolute honour to call him our friend and brother.
Katie
Bridesmaid
Katie, or should we say Dr Landles (she won’t forgive us for that). Given that she works in healthcare it may come as a surprise that Katie is made up of 99% Fanta lemon on holiday, honestly not a drop of water is consumed. We love Katie for her honesty, her inability to communicate via anything other than voice notes and for being Loretta’s personal wellbeing champion at work!
Jason
Groomsman
Jason, the man of many projects, ideas and visions we had to book him out a year early to make sure he could come! Thank you for all your support during my university days and introducing me to the game of golf. If we are late to the wedding blame Jason.... we're probably still out on the course.
Bethan
Bridesmaid
A friendship started like most modern-day love stories, online, including Bethan (almost) being stood up the first time they met. It’s safe to say she forgave Loretta, but she does still like to bring it up now and again… Bethan’s laugh is infectious, always up for a giggle – except when she’s post night shifts… don’t poke the bear. Bethan we are so glad we get to call you our friend, thank you for making sure Josh bought the right ring and for giving him a kick up the backside to propose!
James
Usher
Our gentle giant, James will come and go sometimes unknowingly but never fail to give a nice big hug. If James seems uncomfortable or lost at any point on the wedding don't worry, its because he's not allowed to wear his man-bag. He's got separation anxiety. Thanks for your wise words, big smile, and always making time for a chat
Sasha
Bridesmaid
Affectionately known to Loretta as Sash-Banash, our cool London friend. A calming presence, and effortlessly chic, everyone needs a Sasha. Don’t be surprised when she asks you incredibly deep or philosophical questions immediately after greeting you, it’s her love language. Thank you for asking the questions no one else will.
Will
Usher
One half of the sibling duo, always away on holiday somewhere, we had to give seriously advanced notice to make sure he would be here! We have told him his cowboy boots are banned for the ceremony but we wouldn't be surprised if they make an appearance later on...he loves to chat to anyone about anything but if it's chess or sailing related you're onto a winner!
