Meet the Bridal Party

Maid of honor

Karis Black

Karis Black was my first true friend when I moved to Northern Ireland. Gav worked with Karis, and soon after they met, he dictated to me that I become her friend - which I am forever grateful for. Karis and I have talked endlessly about our outlooks on life, b****ed about work, cried together, argued like sisters - and I would not have it any other way. Karis is authentically herself (although she sometimes profusely apologizes for being so). I’m lucky to consider her my best friend (don’t tell Gav) - as I’ve never known someone so committed to seeing me succeed in everything I want in life - even as time changes what that looks like.

Jessica Denstedt

My sister is my expert opinion, my life coach and my personal confidant. When I lived in Toronto for University, we would spend some weekends together either in the city or in Hamilton chatting about our plans for the future, our crazy family and our problematic relationships. When I moved abroad, she was the first one to come visit me, and I love her to death for that. She’s bold, tenacious, kind and honest. I'm lucky to have someone so caring have my back.

Tiffany Furneaux

I met Tiffany when I was working and she was a customer - I felt an instant connection to her and the rest is really history. Tiffany and I have been long distance besties since forever, and even when we go months without talking, one of us always messages and it’s like no time has passed. The beautiful thing is we always meet each other where we are in life without conditions, and embrace growth and change in each other.

Amy Young

I met Amy working at Cosmic Design. I remember interviewing with her and knowing she was special - and I remember telling my boss “She has an award winning personality and attitude, and you can’t learn that.” Which in retrospect sounds like a confession of love more than a work recommendation, which makes sense considering she is one of my best friends today. Amy is kind, generous, loving and a beautiful soul.

Sarah McGarry

 

Sarah is one (of many) friends that I've been lucky to meet through Gav's fitness studio Hitsona. Her partner, Rory started working for Gav over a year ago and Sarah and I immediately bonded over everything from a Harry Potter obsession, to the game Animal Crossing. Beyond that, she happens to be one of the sweetest people I know, who truly wants the best for others.

Meet the groomsmen

Best man

Conor Byrne

 

Conor’s my best man and I’m lucky to be able to call him a friend. Like the other groomsmen I have known Conor for 25 years and during that time Conor has always been there whenever I needed him. Whether that’s to help eat an entire chocolate cake at 3am after a night out or to talk through life’s problems, the same holds true when we were living a few minutes away from each other or thousands of miles.

Dom O'Driscoll

Dom is one of the kindest and most loyal friends anyone could ask for, I am eternally grateful for him helping me through tough times and always being down for a laugh. Whether that’s poker, board games or taking care of you while you’re a bit too drunk Dom is always there for you.

Niall O'Dowd

Niall is our super dependable extremely handy best friend. Imagine MacGyver mixed with impeccable dancing skills. My favourite memories I have with Niall range from helping me build my first squat rack when we were teenagers to him amazingly kneesliding on a dancefloor in Prague.

Dave Paredes

DP or Dave is a genuine best mate, you’ll never meet a kinder, wittier or more honest man. Although probably the most intelligent one of our little gang, if you give him an extra shot or two he becomes just as much of a simpleton as the rest of us which is always a great experience seeing him try to order a plate of chicken on a night out or trying to count out exact change afterwards.

Brian Allen

Brian is a warm and caring guy and is always there when you need him. My fondest memory of Brian includes both of us going through a brief period “between jobs” where we bonded over delicious vino and chatting about our life futures. With Brian’s help and support (and of course Vic’s) I’ve managed a life way beyond what I envisioned with him years ago and for that I’m grateful.
