Gareth has been my best friend since we were 11 years old. He has been there for me through all of the ups and downs and I couldn't imagine anyone else standing next to me on our big day. Thank you Gareth for being my "chief" best man.

My maid of honour is my beautiful best friend Roslyn. Roslyn has the biggest heart and is the most kind person I have ever known. Thank you for being my maid of honor and for a lifetime of friendship!

Aimee is firstly my cousin but is also a wonderful friend. She is beautiful, kind and fiercely loyal. Thank you for all of the help and support you give us not only as my Bridesmaid but in life in general!

Brian is one of my oldest and closest friends. Don't let his grumpy exterior fool you... he has a big heart and is a great friend and we wouldn't have him any other way. Thank you for standing with me.

Ben and I have also been great friends for a long time. Ben is like a Golden Labrador in that he is so excited and enthusiastic about everything! It is impossible to be in a bad mood when spending time with Ben! Thank you so much for being one of my best men.

Sarah is also my cousin but I also consider her a friend. She is beautiful, bright and funny, and a constant source of support and encouragement. If there is money being put down on the first person to cry at the ceremony I have £10 on Sarah!! Thank you for being my bridesmaid.

Caitlin is also my cousin, and even though she is only 8 she is a force to be reckoned with! Caitlin is too smart for her own good, and is so kind hearted to go with it! Thank you for being one of my flower girls and for brightening up our world with fun and laughter.

Grace is Richards beautiful niece and has kindly agreed to be one of my flower girls. Grace is kind and funny and loves to sing and dance... I wonder if we will get her to do a turn at the reception! Grace we have been firm friends since I joined your family and I thank you for being one of my flower girls.
