What song reminds you of Emma?

Bon Iver - For Emma, forever ago

An album but we move. Kinda clear why it reminds me of her ya know, but for as long as I can remember me n Em have absolutely loved Bon Iver. Bit of a slower one but ya know, still means a hell of a lot to me.

How do you know Emma and what’s your favourite memory together?

You could say I’ve known Em my whole life! (I’m her brother) and she’s one of my best mates.

Trying to choose a favourite memory isn’t exactly easy so you’re getting a selection:

Most recently, wandering around Glasto in a ridiculously sleep deprived state after driving overnight, arriving in the healing fields and having a proper giggle at trying to figure out what to put in the wishing box. (Hopefully that whole perfect wedding idea comes true!)

OR

Giving El and Em no choice but to keep me company while we were in Devon and watching some rather bizarre Instagram Reels for hours (gotta mention one with both the bride and groom)

OR

Em’s reaction when I came back from Newcastle to surprise her on her 21st birthday (Em will really cry at most happy things, prepare for the wedding day!)

OR

The times you came and picked me up from school and we just chilled in the car for arguably too long before going home.

OR

Any time she dressed me for an own clothes day back in the early days of school, always ended up with the best fits in the year of course.

How did you land this prestigious role of man of honour?

I was born into it x

Em asked me if I wanted a cup of tea when I came back from London a couple years ago, and when I said no she became pretty damn insistent, then proceeded to stare at me while I drank it. Somehow I didn’t clock anything until I got to the bottom of the cuppa and spotted the message asking me to be her Man of Honour. A bloody wonderful way to find out! Or so she thinks, in reality she’d mentioned to me a few times I’d get the role when she was drunk, but the mug was still a lovely touch and surprise.

But after years of Em helping me out left, right and centre I hope to pay her back (slightly) by being a cracking Man of Honour (hopefully).

What’s Em’s worst outfit?

Well I could go down the route of saying she’s never had a bad outfit because her style is immaculate (it wouldn’t exactly be a lie). But, how could I forget the humbug/beetlejuice half white-half black block fringe back when we were in school, not exactly an outfit but it had to get a mention.

Which would you rather: catch the bouquet or avoid it like it’s on fire?

Imma catch that shit, why not? Would quite like some flowers for my flat x

What are you most looking forward to on the day?

Honestly it’d be hard to choose, just looking forward to seeing Em and El smiling their faces off and, of course, having a good ol’ drink and boogie to celebrate after the ceremony.

Can you name a song that reminds you of Emma?

Where's Your Head At - Basement Jaxx (because it reminds me of being at Elrow and seeing you SHINE)

How do you know Emma and what's your favourite memory together?

We met through our parents living down the road from each other and going to the same parties. I honestly have countless best memories but a thread that runs through them all is sitting together talking nonsense and setting the world to rights whether it's in the pub, on the sofa, or in your car with the holes in the footwell.

How did you land this prestigious role of man of bridesmaid? (Feel free to brag about your amazing qualifications.)

I landed this prestigious title because we've seen and loved each other through all our phases (even your two tone fringe and my aggressive bob). We have individually and together faced a million tests but I wouldn't have it any other way, because I can go the long way round if I've got you.

If you had to survive the wedding day on one snack alone, what would it be?

How do you know Emma, and what’s your favorite memory together?

We’ve been best friends since primary school! One of my favourite memories was on a year 5 PGL trip to Wales. After hours of caving in small underground tunnels, Emma shared with the group later that day that caving wasn’t her favourite sport, she explained it had brought her to tears as the space was so small that it had made her feel extremely constipated!

My favourite memory is probably when Emma showed me her wedding themed Pinterest board and we had completely identical pictures (including wedding dresses!!!!!!!) proper soul mates confirmed xxx
