Key People
Bridesmaids
Sophie Stephens
Sophie Stephens
Maid of Honor

Sophie is Lucy's youngest sibling and only sister. She studied musical theatre at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music and currently teaches at Fame while auditioning for, and performing in, various musicals in the hope of securing her big break. Her hobbies include reading her horoscope, playing Sims and whipping up delicious vegetarian meals. She's also single ;)

Start a conversation with her by: 

- asking what her favourite musical is
- sharing some interesting facts about your starsign 
- sharing pics of your cute cats or dogs

Nicole Hardy
Nicole Hardy
Bridesmaid

Nicole and Lucy have been best friends since grade 8.

Lucy can still remember the day her normal desk buddy was away sick in pastoral care, and Nicole sat next to her for the first time. Lucy & Nicole share a love for learning, dogs, travel and the great outdoors. They first travelled together to Bali when they were 14 (with Nicole's mum Wendy), then both went on exchange to New Zealand in grade 10, to Canada in Year 11/12, and to Europe in their 30th year of birth!

Nicole lives in Brisbane, and is an anaesthetist, wife to Sam, mum to Sebastian, dog mum to Gigi the French Bulldog, and gives birth to her second baby (this time a girl) in September. 

Danielle Receveur
Danielle Receveur
Bridesmaid

You may call her Danielle or Dan.

Danielle & Lucy were neighbours from the age of 3, when Danielle first moved from New Zealand to Australia with her family. Lucy and Danielle did everything together, and their childhood was a series of sleepovers, days in the pool, dance performances, action movies, Goosebump books, and matching outfits in different colours.

Danielle moved to London 12 years ago, where she worked as a speech pathologist. After meeting her partner Rich (at the famously cheesy Infernos nightclub in Clapham London - and in costume, no less), they now have 3 boys; Charlie, Sam and Alex,  and live near the beach in beautiful Devon, UK. 

Strike up a conversation with her by asking: 

- How her oldest son Charlie is going in his first year in school
- Asking her about her fondest memories of NZ or Aus
- Asking her when she will be moving back to NZ or Aus

Victoria Gilmour
Victoria Gilmour
Bridesmaid

Victoria and Lucy first met when they both worked at Gambaro Seafood Restaurant at the age of 19. Victoria left for a 2 year trip to the UK, and they picked up their friendship on her return. Lucy's fondest memories shared with Victoria include trips on the boat out at Hamilton Island, numerous nights at the Normanby and various other Brisbane watering holes, violin/guitar/Irish dancing sessions on the back deck at Victoria's house, and too many other fun adventures to name!  They both share a love for travel, good wine, exercising and nice clothes and shoes. 

Lucy was Victoria's bridesmaid when she married her husband, Dane. Victoria has two daughters Mila & Evie, and a third girl on the way due September, and two gorgeous Golden Retrievers Coco & Lulu. 

Strike up a conversation with Victoria by: 

- asking her opinion on the latest health / fitness trend
- sharing photos from your travels to an exotic or far flung destination
- asking her about what she's got planned for her next holiday!

Lauren Stephan
Lauren Stephan
Bridesmaid

Lauren and Lucy met through Victoria. They lived together in Newmarket and Windsor for many years, before Lauren met her now husband Michael. 

Lauren has a vivacious personality, and is very caring and kind and always up for a good chat. Lucy and Lauren bonded over a love of dancing, laughing, good music, and having a good time. Lauren works in customer service and is a proud wife, and dog mum to a very new Miniature Schnauzer, Henry. 

Strike up a conversation with Loz by asking her about: 

- Her favourite song at the moment
- Her new puppy
- What's next on the list of renovations for their home in North Brisbane

In our home we have many things
That living together often brings
Wine glasses and bath towels we have bought
And because of this we have thought
A honeymoon donation would be great
For those who wish to participate
So we can travel making memories
Trekking through towns, and eating cheese
And when we kick back in Canggu,
We'll raise a glass and cheers to you
