Dan Power - Best Man
Dan and Seb first met at Beechen
Cliff School, while duetting over the risk of insomnia faced by shepherds, and
have been good friends ever since. Dan is extremely perceptive. He was, for
instance, the first to predict that Laura and Seb would get together years
before their sexualities even aligned. (Although, credit also goes to Laura’s
sister Polly who mooted the possibility earlier, albeit as a way of annoying
Laura rather than as a genuine prediction.) This, together with his extensive
campaign of ever less subtle hints, made him well suited to the job of best
man.
Miriam Nye - Usher
Miriam is Sebastian’s elder sister and
surprisingly has never been asked to be an usher before! Although Miriam pined
for a sister in childhood, compensating by dressing Sebastian up as a girl as
frequently as his patience would allow (which was often!), Miriam has finally
accepted that she is surrounded by brothers and is excited to take on this
role. Miriam runs a support service for asylum seekers and migrants in an HIV
charity in Bristol.
Jacob Nye - Usher
Jacob is Seb’s oldest brother. He enjoys taking photographs, cooking elaborate banquets and cultivating an ever more sophisticated taste in wine. Lately, he has taken to sleeping in a lizard petting zoo. Despite these eccentricities – OK, because of them – Seb and Jacob have enjoyed many hours in each other’s company, some of them even sober.
Samuel Nye - Honorary Usher
Samuel, Sebastian's self-proclaimed favourite sibling, used to make the groom cry when he was young, in order to enjoy the gratitude he'd later receive from the victim for cheering him up. Despite this, and on special permission from the M.E.C.C.A. (Middle East Centre for the Criminally Ambiguous), Samuel now works as Head of English at a school in Muscat, Oman.
