Maid of Honour

Favourite sister, unwitting matchmaker. Doctor of medecine, believer in holisticism. Wol woman, firewalker and wonderland denizen with a passion for all things stripey - a baby Tigger's a wonderful thing!

Katy Morgan
Katy Morgan

Cats and croquet, crochet, a lover of art and artists, with a serious sideline in particle physics and medical statistics. Corpus Christi comrade, introduced Milla to the concept of adding chilli powder to most tuna dishes, a habit which has stuck.

Philosopher and pedagogue, sensitive, deep thinker with a soft spot for humanity. Fellow cabin-mate on the Good Ship Bearskin and a friend throughout university and the adventures that followed.

Rosie Andrews
Rosie Andrews
Queen of costumes and quizzes, adept at herding cats as well as people -- arguably largely responsible for Milla's social life throughout long periods of study-hibernation. Likes nothing more than to be locked up and given obscure means of escaping... 
Panda Lawrence
Panda Lawrence
Collector of my little ponies and fancier of unicorns (but secretly a mermaid). By day an award-winning animatrix, by night a real life sand fairy who spreads her wings in raves.
Emma Bayfield
Emma Bayfield

Illustrator, activist and cider-drinking biker of Hell's Llamas clan, not to be messed with. Passionate about the planet, known from a young age to prefer the company of animals to (some) humans. Specialist round in pub quizzes: obscure lemurs!

Nicky Harris
Nicky Harris

Here I shall make my case for the tricksy nature of the Nicky: for she practiseth the dark art of alchemy, hunts Hobbits in strange company and cultivates more succulents than could ever be considered entirely normal. I award the Nicky 4 stars for mischief, minus one for scuttling.

Sophie
Sophie
Flower Girl
Thomas the tank engine enthusiast, stacker of books. Likes to help mummy out by placing miscellany in the washing machine (last we checked it contained a tube of toothpaste, pack of fajitas, books and many toys).
Groomsmen
Steve Roberts
Steve Roberts
Best Man
DJ, ice enthusiast and part time Matt Berry impersonator, aka "The Beeve" and the best brother anyone could hope for.
Tim Brinded
Tim Brinded
Best Man
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is also Tim. A beacon of mirth and culinary excellence.
Nicholas Morss
Nicholas Morss

A whirlwind of enthusiasm, having Nick for a cousin has been an honour and believe it or not we used to get confused for brothers! 

Ned Mortimer
Ned Mortimer
My future brother from another mother, Ned is no Stranger to weddings having played at many with his band and it's an honour to have his talents at ours!
Charlie Hennings

Father of the bride

Keen runner, devourer of history, medieval mysteries and cryptic crosswords. Enjoys conferencing his way across the globe. Great taste in music.

Francine Mortimer

Mother of the bride

A true eccentric of franco-russian descent. Writer of witticisms with eclectic taste, will enthuse on antiques, etymology and aesthetics.

Jackii Roberts

Mother of the groom

Green-fingered, free-spirited parrot fancier. Loves a good party, and a force to be reckoned with on the tennis court.

Ted Roberts
Ted Roberts
Father of the groom

Well-ripened racconteur and epicurian. Partial to a good cigar, the no-good boyo.

Mascot
Archie Bird
Archie Bird

Agent of Chaos. Tiny dinosaur. Troublemaker and impersonator with a worrying addiction to grapes.

Dress Code: formal attire
Dress Code: formal attire
As smart as you like!

Interpretation

Keep your kigus in the closet. No tracksuits or trainers.

Those that consider themselves gentlemen: we'd love to see you in a suit. Necktie or bow tie: your call... however bonus points for waistcoats, cufflinks and lapel decoration.

To those who wear dresses: wedding smart does not mean you have to wear hats, or heels, or anything that would make you uncomfortable!

Any other variation of smart will be equally perfect!

If you do wear a hat, be warned: "It is notoriously difficult to socially kiss while wearing a wide-brimmed hat" --Debrett’s.

What's the difference between a well-dressed man on a bicycle and a poorly-dressed man on a tricycle..?
Attire!

Needless to say, the parrots are red herrings.

I met a smart parrot called Michael,
On his way to a wedding recital. 
His feathers were well-preened,
His beak shiny and cleaned
And he chose not to fly, but to cycle...

Personal Note

No kettles or runcible spoons
Are required to stock up our rooms...
This couple of new-weds
With purse full of cobwebs
Are saving for our honeymoon.

While our energy efficiency rating
Is currently sitting at "E"
Improved heat retention
And new boiler -- immersion --
Could take us to EPC "C".

Plus, a dishwasher sorely is needed
To spare us much trouble and strife...
Undertaking these projects
Will curb greenhouse effects
And a source of discord in our life!
;-)
