The people who made it all happen
Meet the Parents
Four wonderful people who are just as excited as we are — and who are absolutely not responsible for any of our questionable habits.
Parents of the Bride
Jon & Janice Stacey
Sally's mum and dad — and two of the warmest people you'll meet. If you find yourself next to them, you're in excellent company.
Good conversation starters
Parents of the Groom
Paul & Judy Renucci
Bruno's mum and dad — enthusiastic, welcoming, and very pleased Sally said yes. They'll put you at ease immediately.
Good conversation starters
Sally's side
Bridesmaids
Maid of Honour
Emily
Sally's best friend since they were two, which makes the wedding day around their 27th anniversary! They’ve gone from jumping on the bed singing ABBA Gold and pushing each other in ponds to Em now policing our criminal justice system. She'll make the best bouncer on the night!
Bridesmaid
Kayleigh
Sally and Kayleigh met on the first day of uni and they've been self-proclaimed soulmates ever since (sorry Bruno & Nick). She’s a ray of Scottish / Bristolian sunshine and knows all of Sally’s secrets. Love her forever (unless she spills the beans)!
Bridesmaid
Fliss
Fliss and Sally met working at the pub, and have continued to be in the pub ever since! The perfect village friend, life friend, lockdown workout partner, and the only person to have lived with both Sally and Bruno! We'll always have Below Deck.
Bridesmaid
Bex
A classic tale of work friend turned best friend. Bex is an absolute gem of a human, she bakes the best cupcakes, has seen literally every musical and can make a six hour coach trip to Plymouth the most fun evening ever. She will also happily drag you to a parkrun, or 5!
Bridesmaid
Adriana
Sally's future sister-in-law (and Bruno's current sister) and new mum to the cutest baby boy in the world! Keep your eyes peeled: rumour has it he might be at the wedding too. Ad’s an icon with a second career of holiday planner ready to go, Sally and Bruno haven’t had to choose a restaurant in years and they couldn’t be more grateful!
Bruno's side
Groomsmen
Best Man
Hugo
Bruno's brother for many years (since his birth, to be precise). Famously a troublemaker for most of them: ask any of his teachers, or their mum. The two of them have been through so much together, from rugby trips to mutually disastrous attempts to go drink for drink in Turkey to Vietnam.
Groomsman
Jamie
Friends with Bruno since uni, ever since he thought Ad was moving into the room next door instead of Bruno. From flatmates to colleagues, it's impossible not to get on with him and Franco Manca lunches + a cheeky bottle of wine are always the highlight of the working week.
Groomsman
Ben
Bruno's oldest friend. They met just before Year 7 boarding (as far as Bruno's concerned, everyone from primary school is dead to him). Known for his cheeky smile, encyclopaedic knowledge of films, TV and niche video games, and for very nearly getting arrested doing parkour around their school.
Groomsman
Josh
Bruno's parents give Josh full credit for whatever academic ability their son has managed to scrape together. The best pirate this side of the Atlantic, especially when it came to knock-off copies of Rugby 08. An enigma with a heart of gold.
Groomsman
Max
Australian diva and Bruno's soon-to-be brother-in-law. Ridiculously good at swimming and even better at quoting Peep Show. The first member of the Stacey clan which made him think he knew what he was getting into ... until the family pub crawl.
