If you have gotten this far into the website without knowing who these two are, you have probably come to the wrong place. You may know Nigel as Nige, Nigool, Niggle, Nudge, Nina, Nigella or Noddy. And you may know Jamie as Burto, Beetle, Bertie, Gay Dog, Gaymie or Squintin' Tarantino. But on this weekend you will know them as the grooms.

Ralph, being food motivated, was promised our guests scraps if he helps out. Miley just loves her dads and will stop at nothing to be around them at all times, even if that means she is constantly getting under their feet. They are both very excited to be part of our special day!

From the very beginning of Jamie and Nigel’s relationship, Karoline has always played a significant role and has been a steady part of their journey. Over the years, she has lived with them and laughed with them, offering advice and unwavering support. Her presence through their milestones and continued care makes her the perfect person to stand beside them as their celebrant further shaping the life they have built together.

When it came to choosing the perfect Mistress of Ceremony's Bianca Dean was the obvious choice. Her unapologetically inappropriate sense of humour and razor sharp wit made her the ideal candidate. With a CV that includes her unforgettable speech at her sister Renee’s wedding, Bianca brings both MC experience, history with the boys and a grand sense of flair to the mic. She’s been part of Jamie and Nigel’s lives for many years, sharing laughs, adventures and more than a few dance floors. Whether she’s wrangling the crowd or roasting the grooms with love, Bianca is guaranteed to keep the energy high, the smiles wide and the belly laughs loud.

Nigel and his brother Stuart have always had a close bond, strengthened by the fact they shared their father Paul's passion for all things planes and cars. This shared interest not only brought them closer to their father but also to each other. When thinking of his wedding party, Nigel knew straight away that his brother had to play a part.

Whilst this Jamie and Nigel only became mates after Nigel moved to Canberra, they are often found taking their cars for a Sunday drive, watching the footy over a pub lunch or tinkering in the shed with beers in hand. One favourite tradition is the Sunday night "family" dinners held at the Williams home. These dinners are always a highlight of the week, filled with laughter, delicious food and too many white wines watered down with ice to apparently prevent a hangover by work the next day.

Garry is one of Nigel's oldest friendships. These boys have seen a lot of outback Australia together, whether it be participating in the Finke Desert Race or driving a "snot" green car to raise funds for the Endeavor Foundation rally. You can always tell when Garry is calling by the catch cry Nigel belts out upon answering the phone. Since the invention of QR codes, even when there are states of Australia between them, the boys love to send each other a code in hopes of getting the other to "send them a beer." Garry's children, Teneal, Christie-Lee and Ashley, hold a special place in Nigel's heart and he treats them as if they were his own.

Nigel and Jason go all the way back to the early 2000s when they met on a building site in Petrie on Jason’s birthday of all days. Bonding over a shared love of beer, tech and top-tier crap talking, they’ve been inseparable ever since. Whether it’s long Saturday night phone calls that could bankrupt a small country and definitely kept Telstra in business or just catching up over a cold one, these two can talk for hours about everything and nothing. More so nothing as the night drags on. Jason’s been a constant in Nigel’s life and having him in the wedding party is a no-brainer.

Katrina and Jamie’s friendship dates back to the 90s, a time when Dawson’s Creek was popular, Merimbula didn’t have a McDonald's, and Jamie had just started his first job working for Katrina’s parents at Retrovision. These two have been lifelong companions, growing up side by side every step of the way. From nearly burning down Jamie's mum’s house while cooking chocolate soufflés to underage clubbing, they share a bond that can survive anything life throws their way. Even if they haven’t spoken in a while and distance tries to get between them, put them in a room together and it feels like no time has passed.

Carolyn was one of the first friends Jamie made after moving to Canberra. She’s been a clubbing sidekick, gig companion, foodie mate, and loyal ally throughout Jamie's twenties, thirties and now forties. You’d likely remember them cutting up the Lot 33 dance floor or chatting in the corners at after-parties while Carolyn wore her trademark white jacket “fluffy." Carolyn would never leave a night out without ensuring Jamie was safe even if it meant once reluctantly cleaning up after Jamie following a disgraceful taxi ride.

Adam is Jamie’s ride-or-die gay brother from another mother. You’ll often find them at the gym or a Parkrun in the morning so they can hit the town and get wasted that afternoon—burning calories to consume calories. Adam is a great support when Jamie needs to talk about gay men’s issues, and they can chat a night away discussing movies, music, and pop culture.

Jamie and his straight mate Gavin have shared many beers, cocktails, and hangovers. They have lived together, worked together, and survived lockdown through COVID together. Gavin, who is very protective of Jamie, has rescued him on several Canberra nights out and even one Mardi Gras in Sydney. While their time living together was reminiscent of TV’s The Odd Couple, Jamie would happily do it all over again for the antics and laughs they shared.

Jamie’s goddaughter Alia, whom Carolyn honored him with the role of godparent, completes his grooms party in the most important role of all: Flower Girl. Alia has recently said she cannot wait to perform this very special task for her “fairy godfather.”
