Mr Bradley and I grew up in the same village from the age of 11 and have been there for each other ever since. As one of my oldest friends Jon has always been ready to help me, advise me, laugh at me and be the best friend anyone could ask for. This includes flying across the world to be by my side in my wedding, a true best man move

Allison is my big sister! She is always looking out for us and making sure that we have everything we need. She is supportive and really funny. I was lucky to stand by her when she married Stephane and was there when she had her baby girl Charlotte! She has always been there for me and I couldn't imagine this day without her!

Cat is my little sister. She is an incredible amount of fun and features in most of my best memories. Some people think we are twins and most people dont get our inside jokes, but trust me, we think we are really funny! She is always there when I need her, my sister, my tenant, my dog sitter and most importantly, my friend.

After coming to Canada in 2008 I met Pat on the football pitch and from there the rest is history. From buying houses to getting married Pat has been with me ready to guide me, advise me and generally be a wonderful friend. In our short history together Pat has been and continues to be an amazing friend

Our friendship blossomed in the later years of school and always seemed to be involving alcohol. The phrase "I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying" rings a bell! Whether in school or out of it Rich has been the type of friend you can only dream of. A source of wisdom, comedy and a helping hand in making some of my fondest memories.

I've known Mary almost as long as I've known my sisters. We met when we were 5 years old and have been relatively inseparable ever since. She is definitely an honorary member of our family. She is the most interesting person that I know, she draws, she drums, she travels the world and has a house full of animals (including a 60 pound pig that she rescued) I love her like a sister and know she will always be in my life!

Lauren is one of the few who know both Rich and I before we knew each other. We met in Australia while we were both backpacking on our own. We shared the job of "entertainment manager" at the hostel and hosted parties, dress up nights and quiz nights. We were inseperable and shed a lot of tears when she left Manly Beach to travel up the coast. She hails from England but has lived in Vancouver Canada since 2009. Even though we are far apart, we have kept in touch and I absolutely adore her. I cannot wait to see her in May!

Mr Frost or Mr McRae…whatever he goes by everyone loves him. He is one of life's best people and another person who I have only known since coming to Canada but also instantly made the best of friends with. He is an inspiration as a friend, as a peer and everyday as a brother

I've known Erica for over half of my life, since she moved to Ottawa from Saskatoon. We spent many nights hitting the local bars and clubs and many weekends camping, cottaging, and chatting late into the night. I will stand beside her when she marries her Fiancée, Brett, in September and couldn't be happier. She is one of the few people who has the same sense of humour as the Collier girls and I love her very much!

Every group of friends has one and Chris is ours. The funniest, silliest, kindest and most unpredictable person the world has ever seen. Chris has been a person I have turned to many a time and has never ceased to be the person everyone needs him to be. Chris and his wife Claire recently welcomed a beautiful daughter Isabel and i m so grateful he is able to take the time to jump the water for my wedding.

Honorary Flower Girls! These dogs provide us with more happiness and laughs than anyone ever could. We come home early from places because we don't like to leave them on their own and we get outside every day, even when its minus 30 degrees, because we love these girls so much! Annie is very happy that her parents are getting married and they would join us all night if they were allowed!
