| Jason and I are so grateful that we have such amazing people that will be standing next to us on the biggest day of our lives. Our siblings, best friends for over ten years, and close friends we've made while growing up. We are also so excited that our niece Oaklee and nephew Wyatt are able to be in our wedding as well! Even though this day is about us, we wouldn't be who we are today without these important people. You know us, you know our story, and now we want you to meet our wonderful wedding party!  |  |  | Wyatt is our nephew, Travis and Kaylee Foote's son, and just days after the wedding he will be turning three!

 |  |  | Hey everybody! I'm Kaylee, the Bride's older sister, and also mother to her handsome nephew/ring bearer! I'm assistant manager at a medical linen company and love to spend my free time with family or traveling to Disneyland! :)
I was excited to hear that Jason proposed to Emily because he is the best brother in law I could have asked for and I know he will be an incredible partner to her! So far he has proven his ability to put up with her Disney addiction, her hanger, and is completely aware he might come home to 6 puppies one day. Plus I know I'm going to get cute nieces and nephews! I'm excited for the happy couple and looking forward to their big day! |

Hello there! I'm Katarina, although many have known me better as Kat. I'm a recent college grad from WOU who enjoys painting, watching tv, and getting coffee with friends. Currently, I'm back at Rogue River High School as a Special Education Assistant and am working on transitioning into a career in education. Although I have known the awesome groom since at least the 4th grade, the bride has been an important part of my life for much of the last 10 years. We actually met because of a boy we both had a crush on in 7th grade. And no it wasn't Jason, despite his several attempts to get Emily's attention in middle school.
The first thing I said when I heard about Emily and Jason's engagement was "About damn time!" However, my Facebook post congratulating the couple is a bit more elegant, "Over a decade in the making--congratulations!! It's about time and I'm so happy for you two."

 |  |  | Hi. My name is Sean. I'm a 4 wheel lovin, gun shootin, proud parent of a beautiful 3 year old daughter who is also going to be the flower girl in the wedding. I'm a journeyman HVAC technician so for your heating and cooling needs call me! ;) I've known Jason since April 30th, 1994, at 2:22a.m. when my mother Teresa (no pun intended!) had the unfortunate burden of pushing Jason's big head out into the glorious world. We've been like brothers ever since!
The day he proposed he sent me a text saying "Well your little brother did the big deed. I'm engaged!". I was definitely super excited that he had someone that he meshed so well with and I congratulated him, and then I asked when she was due! We both laughed and I couldn't be happier to be gaining such a cool sister! |

 |  |  | My name is Ben McBee and I am a freelance photojournalist and proud graduate of the University of Oregon. Jason and I have been friends ever since I made the move from Christian Life School over to Mrs. Munsell's 5th grade class at Rogue River Elementary. Back then, it was all about kickball, foursquare, and surviving the Oregon Trail. While Jason's hands are still stuck in the 5th grade (sorry dude), we have both grown up into men and it's been a wild ride. There are countless stories I could share, and most of them involve Mat Blanco doing something stupid while we laugh (like being a pansy on the mountain). Through all the sleepovers, taco nights, and midnight premieres, Jason's been one of my best friends.
I'm pretty sure Jason was at my house the night before he proposed to Emily. We were all talking about how my other best friend Mat and his fiancee Evy were getting married, and sure enough, Jason says, "actually I was going to tell you guys about something..." He told us how he planned on taking her up to Crater Lake to pop the question. I congratulated him and had a huge smile on my face when I realized it was going to be a two wedding summer. Helllllll yeah. I've known Emily pretty much the same amount of time and I'm stoked Jason found someone that makes him so happy. Congrats to the both of you!

 |  |  | My name is Dawson Jacobs, I'm currently working a plumbing job. I'm in the process of getting my license to sell life and health insurance for Aflac. I'm 23 years old and I met Jason in the second grade. We became best friends soon after. We were pretty much inseparable as kids. If I wasn't at Jason's house, he was at mine. His mom and dad took me in like one of their own and I still look at Jason's mom Teresa as my other mother. Me and Jason grew up playing sports together, and Jason always had my back. He's more than a friend to me, he is my brother.
When Jason first asked me if he should start dating Emily, I remember telling him to do what makes him happy, and if Emily makes him happy he definitley should give it a shot. A little over a year went by and Jason texted me and asked if I heard the news. That's when he told me about the engagement. I was stoked my best friend had finally found the right girl, and she's been right in front of his face since middle school. Couldn't be more excited for the both of you! Congrats you two!

I had met Jason when Emily started dating him and instantly knew they were made for each other. I was very happy and excited to here the news. Jason, you are going to be an amazing husband for Emily, and a great father one day. I look forward to many memories that will be made between your family and mine. :) |

 |  |  | Hi, my name is Brian Stinchcomb and I am currently in my senior year at Oregon Tech, studying Radiologic Sciences. I met Jason in kindergarten at Rogue River Elementary school and we became good friends. I have a ton of good memories that range anywhere from elementary school through rooming together at Oregon Tech! When Jason and I hangout there is never a dull moment, as we are usually doing something active. Whether it is playing soccer, basketball, or even playing a round of disc golf!
I am happy to say that I have known both Jason and Emily while growing up, and can say without hesitation, that these two were meant for each other and are totally compatible! Both of these individuals are kind, caring, and awesome people! Congratulations guys, can’t wait to be a part of your big day! |
