Millie & Andrew

November 30, 2024 • Martinborough, New Zealand
Danielle Hayward
Danielle Hayward - Maid of Honour
Danielle & Millie have been best friends since high school. Inseparable & in many ways, identical, Danielle & Millie enjoy running, watching horror movies together, drinking wine & having in-depth conversations about morbid matters. They can usually be found (*heard) cackling together, & due to their identical voices you likely wouldn’t be able to tell which was which!
Kaleb Gilhooly
Kaleb Gilhooly - Co-Best Man
Kaleb is one of Andrew's best mates & (along with Holly) is also the Cupid to Andrew & Millie. He is very vocal about the fact that he is the reason the couple met back in 2015. Kaleb & Andrew have been been mates for over a decade now and lived together for nearly half of that before Millie stole Andrew away from him. Recently however, Kaleb has became a new member of the Paparangi crew, when he moved in with Millie, Andrew & Sophie. Kaleb & Andrew spend countless hours gaming together (much to the girls' dismay). On the big day you will no doubt find Kaleb requesting Drum & Bass and tearing up the dance floor.
Jordan Shaw
Jordan Shaw - Co-Best Man
Jordan is also one of Andrew's best mates & one of the founding members of the Paparangi crew (along with his wife Nina). Andrew & Jordan have been mates for over a decade & lived together for a number of years during university (along with Kaleb & Lauchie). Jordan & Andrew spend many afternoons and weekends on the golf course, & many late nights drinking more than they should. This almost always turns into a drunken wrestle with someone having to tap out (usually Andrew). Jordan likes to see himself as a sophisticated individual but once you see him on the dance floor you can be the judge of that.
Nina Becker
Nina Becker - Bridesmaid
Nina is one of the two (the other being her husband, Jordan) founding members of the Paparangi crew. Nina & Millie met through the boys but became fast friends and spend a lot of time together drinking wine, gossiping and hiking. Nina is probably the nicest person you will ever meet, and is sure to be requesting Taylor Swift anthems all night long.
Scott Green
Scott Green - Groomsman
Scotty along with being another of Andrew's best mates is also staple member of the Paparangi crew (recently married to his lovely wife Zoe). Scott is another keen golfer (or at least tries to be..) & can usually be found in the gym. When together, Scott, Andrew & Jordan can almost always be found talking shop about business, investing & what the future holds for the crew.
Sophie Thompson
Sophie Thompson - Bridesmaid
Sisters & best friends, Sophie & Millie have gone through everything together! Having spent a few years living apart while they both went through University, Sophie recently moved to Paparangi and lives with Millie, Andrew & Kaleb. Sophie & Millie spend every moment together, walking their dogs (Goku & Frankie), watching horror movies, drinking wine and, in fact, working together!
Lauchie Johns
Lauchie Johns - Groomsman
Lauchie has been a close mate of Andrew's for the last decade. Initially meeting back in university & living together during the infamous 181 flat days (alongside Kaleb & Jordan). Lauchie is by far the most skilled golfer of the lads, which is no surprise due him being a semi-pro cricketer. Lauchie moved over to the UK almost 2 years ago now & the lads are extremely excited to have him back in the country for Andrew's wedding.
Ella Sutherland
Ella Sutherland - Bridesmaid
Ella is Andrew's younger (& smarter) sister and is one of Millie's good friends. Ella will tell you it like it is & is one of the most supportive friends that you could ever have. Ella is one of Goku's favourite people and is likely to be found requesting Drum & Bass bangas all night long.
Matt Kontze
Matt Kontze - Groomsman
Andrew was lucky enough to meet Matty through Millie & her best friend Danielle (Maid of Honour). This quickly saw them become very close mates. Yep, you guessed it, Matt is also another member of the Paparangi crew, living with Jordan & Nina. Matty is another avid golfer in the crew who you can almost always find alongside Andrew sipping on Billy Mavs (god's nectar if you ask them). Builder by profession, you can always count on Matt to get his hands dirty & lend a hand.
Holly Sheddan
Holly Sheddan - Bridesmaid
Holly is Millie's oldest friend, having met each other at kindergarten when they were both crying at the front gates when their mums (the Skanks) were dropping them off. Holly & Millie grew up together, causing chaos throughout primary school, high school & university. Holly is one of the funniest people you will ever meet & will be found sipping back margaritas and dancing to ABBA all night long.
Zoe Green
Zoe Green - Master of Ceremony
Zoe is another member of the Paparangi crew, with her husband Scott. Zoe quickly became friends with Millie & Andrew after meeting, sharing many of the same strong opinions on the world. Zoe & Millie have shared countless wines and deep chats, and you can always count on Zoe to bring the good vibes and banter - making her the most perfect MC!
Goku
Goku - Ring Bearer
Goku is Millie & Andrew’s much loved dog. He was the first dog they met when they were looking at dogs to adopt, and they fell in love with him immediately. He is a huge part of their lives & has been there through all of their big moments - including their engagement - so it is only right that he will be a big part of their wedding day.
Frankie
Frankie - Flower girl
Frankie is Sophie’s dog, and lives with her lover/cousin/brother, Goku, and her other true love, Andrew. Frank fits into the household very well, and is a special part of Millie & Andrew’s lives. She is very excited about being the centre of attention as the flower girl.
