Rebecca Hawkins
Bridesmaid
The 25th of February will not only mark Blake and I becoming Husband and Wife, but also Bec and I becoming sisters. Although I see Bec as my sister already, I can't wait for it to be official. Our friendship blossomed once we started dating the boys and for that, I am so thankful. Bec is someone I can truly depend on but also someone I can be completely silly with. I know she will make me feel loved and special on my wedding day and that is why she is in our bridal party.
Alyce Ellard
Bridesmaid
From the moment Alyce and I met when we were 17, I knew we were meant to be best friends. In fact, I told her so the first night I met her (drinks may or may not have been involved..). Since then our friendship has grown into something truly special. Alyce is someone I can be my true authentic self around, someone who shares my nerdiest pleasures of Agatha Christie and Harry Potter, and who supports me 110% no matter what. She is an incredible friend and a great breakdancer so it was an obvious decision to have her in our bridal party.
Breanna Poynting
Bridesmaid
Breanna and I have been friends since high school totalling 13 awesome years of friendship. We have grown up and gone through every stage of life together; including playing Sims after school and wearing our Twilight Supre' t-shirts in high school, to graduating year 12 together, to travelling to Europe together and running amuck, to having our friendship grow to 4 with the addition of her two beautiful babies, and now to both of us getting engaged within two months of each other and planning our weddings together. Breanna has been there for me through everything for the last 13 years so it only makes sense that she stands by my side as I say I do.
Ryan Hawkins
Best Man
Ryan has been my best friend since birth. Going through 27 years and all of life’s milestones together, we’ve always had each other’s back, and a lot of fun along the way. When we get together we are inseparable, and you never want to verse us in a game of Pictionary! From day 1 Ryan was always going to be my Best Man, and I couldn’t imagine doing this without him by my side.
Jai Ellard
Groomsman
Jai and I met on the first day of year 7, and instantly became best friends. Over the years we’ve shared a love in gaming, music, and making each other laugh. Jai and I rarely go a day without talking, and I consider him my second brother. I’ve loved watching him build his beautiful family with Alyce, and greatly admire all he does for them. It’s Jai’s love and care for family and friends that has kept our relationship this strong over the years, and I am so excited to celebrate this special day with him up there with me.
James Bergman
Groomsman
I first met Jimmy as a keen, young accountant at EY in 2018. With a similar sense of humour and the same love for sport, music, and Chinese food after a night out, we very quickly became best mates. Over the late nights in the office during busy season, and the even later nights celebrating when the job was done, we’ve made memories that will stay with me forever. Like myself, the other Groomsmen fell in love with Jimmy the minute they met him, and I can’t wait for him to be up at the altar with me on the special day!
