Rachel's longest and most loyal Best Friend has the (un)lucky role of Maid of Honour. Rachel and Chloe have been 'besties since birth' and will continue their friendship for all the years to come.
Errol Wood - Best Man
Errol, or Ez as he'd prefer, and Matthew go a long way back. Growing up on the rough streets of Reservoir formed a strong mate-ship between the two. From backyard cricket, to front yard cricket, middle of an oval cricket, to inside the house cricket the two were always together during summer. If anyone is looking for cycling tips, Ez is your man, he also has some nifty tips for when your phone has been taken into a backyard pool. Ez will always have a beer in hand as he will be cashing in on all the times he bought his poor uni student mate a beer over the years.
Dana Santon - Bridesmaid
Rachel's older, wiser? sister Dana is in the bridal party.
Fun fact!
Dana is the first Santon to finish university and is a fully qualified Psychologist.
Although Rachel has a funny way of showing it, she really does love her sister and is so excited to have her in the Bridal Party for her special day.
Beau Hands - Groomsmen
Call Hands on Electrical (0490 495 686) for a free quote. Beau is Matthew's little brother, but a much bigger smart arse. Being the youngest of the Hands' clan he has been picked on the most growing up, and now gives it back 10 times better. Matthew and Beau Man grew up bonding over Star Wars and footy. Whilst he looks the goods tonight, he'd much rather be running around in a Spider-Man suit. Having recently moved back home, if any one sees this man with a red wine glass in hand, please confiscate it from him, Rob and Kath's bathroom cannot cope with another red wine 'disaster',
Maddy Baker - Bridesmaid
As some of you may know, Rachel enjoys pole dancing as a great form of exercise. Maddy and Rachel's friendship has grown since meeting at Pole Divas Prahran. Whenever together, its always bound to be a good time!
Tim Roberts - Groomsmen
Matthew and Tim met at a lecture in university, which was the last one they'd ever attended together. They became friends quickly whilst sharing their fondness for their favourite fungi, along with tearing it up on the dance floor. The 2IC speech writer for Rachel's famous 'Mayor of Splendour' victory, Matthew and Tim will always be found in the shadows.
Shantell Katz - Bridesmaid
Shantell and Rachel met whilst both working at Grill'd Southland and their friendship has flourished in the years since. Rachel is Shantell's unofficial older sister and will be Shantell's Maid of Honour at her upcoming wedding in March 2025.
Sam De Soysa - Groomsmen
Sam and Matthew met at university and quickly bonded over their potential AFL careers being robbed from them by cruel injuries, to Sam's knees. Sam will be identifiable in the crowd by either wielding a bottle of fireball, or those big beautiful blue eyes. Ladies, please do not make direct eye contact with this man.
Bex Neilson - Bridesmaid
From Pole Instructor, to Pole Competition Coach and now one of Rachel's greatest friends. Bex is the ultimate Dance Mom in all the good ways. Bex and Rach share common interests including having a dance, belting out Celine Dion and listening to Xtina Aguilera on REPEAT.
Zayne Wight - Groomsmen
Zayne 'Mr South Morang Man O Man' Wight is one of Matthew's longest and closest mates. From running Matthew out when he was well on his way to a double ton, to floating down the Murray river in large yellow life vests. Zayne has always been bringing Matt back down to earth. By far the sharpest tool in the shed, you'll be able to find him smack bang in the middle of the dance floor, hopefully with his shirt off.
