Cast and Crew

We are so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family supporting us through this experience. A lot of people celebrating the day with us don't know those in our wedding party. Here's a way for you to get to know a little about them and why they are so special to us.

Parents of the Bride:
Helena and Ted are incredibly kind and generous people. They have always opened their home to friends and family, and host some of the best holiday meals around. They love to travel, spend time with family and friends, and play bridge. Ted is also a music buff with an impressive record collection. We wouldn't be able to have this wedding without them.

Parents of the Groom:
Bob and Denise are wonderful people. They welcomed Nikki into their home, treating her like family from the beginning. They have great taste in books, movies, and music, and a beautiful garden they sometimes share with their two house cats Milo and Pepper. They have been a huge support and they mean so much to us.


Maid of Honour:
Annette is Nikki's younger cousin. They've been great friends since they were young, having weekly playdates and sleepovers, and summer visits to Annette's cottage. When they were young people were constantly asking if the girls were twins. As they got older their relationship only grew stronger, and although they no longer have twin status, they are still very close.

Bridesmaids:
Angie is Nikki's older cousin. As a little girl Nikki looked up to Angie, thinking she was the absolute coolest person in the entire world. She wanted to be just like her. Angie was an incredible older cousin, never minding having to hang out with the 'little kids'. She has been there with advice and support over the years, and is more a close friend than a cousin.

Adi and Nikki met in junior kindergarten. They grew apart through elementary school, but re-connected in middle school and have been close ever since. In high school they played together in a band called Seth. Adi now plays solo, and is an incredible talent, but they occassionally find the time for a good jam session. Adi is considered family and can usually be found at Nikki's Christmas dinners.

Janet and Nikki met in middle school and have been friends ever since. They have frequent baking dates, share a love of vintage Pyrex, and no matter how busy they are they always find time to catch up. Janet is one of those friends you want in your life forever.
Favourite hobby: Cooking. She blogs about it here.


Best Man:
Jason is Jer's younger brother. He is fitness man.

Groomsmen:
Justin, Shawn, Real, and Albert (aka Bundy) are Jer's bros. Jer met Justin and Shawn in his first year of college in 2004, and Justin introduced him to Real and Albert shortly thereafter.  

Flower Girls:
Elena is Nikki's oldest cousin's daughter. They don't get to see each other much since they live across the country from each other, which makes Elena being in the wedding even more special. 

 Emmy is Janet's oldest daughter. She is an energetic, bright, and fun kid. Nikki and Emmy get to spend time together each week at Sparks where Emmy attends and Nikki volunteers.
Interesting fact: Emmy is a bronze medal gymnast.


Lizzie is Janet's younger daughter, and Nikki's goddaughter. Nikki first met her just hours after she was born. She'll be the youngest person in the wedding, but we know she'll be great.
Favourite toy: Her Lala Loopsy doll she named Pickles.

Ring Bearers:
Michael is Nikki's cousin's eldest son. He was the first little guy born into the family in over 20 years, so his arrival was especially exciting (not that we weren't excited to meet the other little ones!). Michael lives across the country from Nikki so they don't get to see each other much, which makes him being in the wedding even more special.

Nathan is Nikki's cousin's youngest son. They don't get to spend much time together because they live across the country from each other, which makes Nathan being in the wedding even more special.
