Meet The Bridal Party

Striking, sporty, and just the right amount of terrifying, Emma is the life of any party and the unofficial bouncer of the bride’s sanity. You’ll likely find her taste-testing the canapés or sneaking cuddles with Rolo, all while maintaining a level of authority that suggests she may, in fact, be running the entire wedding.

Best friend of the groom for over 30 years, Tom is a surgeon by day and social ringleader by night. Known for his charm, iron liver, and impeccable comic timing, he’ll likely be the one rallying the crowd for “just one more” — without ever spilling a drop or missing a beat. His speech will be unforgettable (and, thankfully, well-articulated).

A true Japan nerd who spent a year living there, Sarah can effortlessly launch into conversations about anime, ramen, or the latest cultural obsession — and she’ll talk to anyone who’ll listen. But don’t let her love of all things Japan fool you; she’s also a consummate Type A, the one making sure every detail is flawless and on schedule. Perfectionist with a passion, Sarah keeps everything running smoothly — and keeps it entertaining, too.

Italian by blood, French by fluency, and Liverpool by football allegiance, Kit is the groom’s brother-in-law and our official on-site translator slash diplomat. Equally at home discussing politics, pouring wine, or soothing a baby (shoutout to his son, River), he’s suave, sharp, and unfailingly useful — especially after a few Negronis.

Having shared a home (and probably too many secrets) for two years, Josephine knows the bride better than anyone — and isn’t afraid to remind her of it. Beautiful with a surprisingly dark sense of humour that often emerges after a couple of glasses of wine, she spends her days crafting stories in children’s publishing and her evenings offering quiet, sharp wit and steadfast support when it matters most.

Suave, sophisticated, and effortlessly charming, Jamie can strike up a conversation with absolutely anyone — and have them laughing before the wine’s even poured. You’ll probably find him at the bar with Kirsty’s dad, knocking back Baby Guinnesses and plotting the next toast. Most excited about sampling every red wine France has to offer (and expertly sneaking a few bottles home), Jamie’s equal parts wit and style — the guy who’ll make sure the party never runs out of good cheer or good jokes.

A true connoisseur of fine French fromage, he’s happiest when surrounded by cheese plates and adoring guests. Equal parts attention seeker and ladies’ man, Rolo’s mission is to charm everyone in the room - often by commandeering laps and stealing hearts. The undeniable guest of honour, he’s ready to make this elegant celebration just a little more paw-some.
