Wedding Party

Nolan Rutter
Nolan Rutter - Man of Honour
No, this is not a mug shot - but let's not tempt him with a good time. You may find Nolan at any of the resort bars, or loaded with sun screen at the pool bar. If you're unsure it's him know you can't miss his large head. Nolan can help with any of your questions with that big brain of his.
Rachela Locane
Rachela Locane - Best Women
Rachela is Raffaele’s little sister and his Best Woman. You may find her lounging by the pool or, if you listen carefully, follow the sound of a woman singing karaoke songs. Approach with caution: one question may lead to an impromptu duet, or a full conga line.... questions may be left unanswered
