Marli Lemmer

We’ve been side-by-side since we were two years old, which means there isn’t a single memory in my life that doesn’t include her. She’s far more than a best friend; she is the sister I was lucky enough to choose. Having her stand by me as I say 'I do' is the most natural thing in the world.

Suné Weideman

She is the true definition of a 'forever' friend. Once we finally clicked, there was no looking back! We’ve become absolutely inseparable. She’s the person who I turn to and always knows how to make me laugh. I feel so lucky that our paths aligned exactly when they were supposed to!

Chanté Botha

If you hear laughter and Afrikaans music, you’ll probably find Chanté! She has this incredible gift for bringing the party wherever she goes, but beneath all the fun is a deep, special connection that I treasure. She’s the friend who brings out my biggest smiles and shares my happiest memories.

Lara Greyling

They say friends are the family you choose, and in this case, I got the best of both worlds. She’s my brother’s future wife and the sister I’m so lucky to gain. I’m so grateful for the bond we’ve built and can’t wait for a lifetime of more memories together.

Layla Sharkey

My future sister-in-law and Nick's younger sister. She has such a kind and loving soul, and it is a true honor to finally gain a 'little sister' in her. I’ve loved getting to know her, and I’m so happy to have her sweetness and support by my side as I officially join the family.

Oliver Sharkey

From childhood mischief to this milestone moment, Oliver has been my partner-in-crime since day one. He’s gone from the little brother I used to boss around to the family comedian who always knows how to make me laugh. I’m so proud of the man he is today and honored to have him by my side.

Chris Hogan

Chris has been my best friend since we were four years old, and we’ve stuck together through every stage of life since. We’ve grown up together, stayed close through it all, and I’m so lucky to have a lifelong friend who has become more like a brother.

Strahan Ackerman

Gaining a brother and a lifelong friend all in one! Strahan is the person I can always rely on. He is the reason I met Celeste & have him to thank for bringing us together. I’m honored to have him by my side. So happy to officially call him family.

Chris Sharkey

As my big brother, Chris has been my constant support and someone I know will always be there the moment I need him. We have the best time whenever we’re together, mostly thanks to his wicked sense of humor and ability to keep everyone laughing. I’m so lucky to have grown up with him by my side!

Steven Sharkey

As my eldest brother, Steven is someone I’ve looked up to my entire life. He’s the kind of person who would be there for me in a heartbeat, and I’ve always admired his heart (and the incredible food he cooks whenever I visit!). I am so honored to call him my brother.
