Emily & Jeffery
Wedding Party
Travis Lake
Best Man
Jeff and I met through his mom when my grandpa died. She was on the squad that came and got him and told me that they lived right down the road and had a son my age. A few days later she stopped by and said that if I wanted I could meet Jeff down at the field between our houses over the weekend. The weekend came and I rode my bike down to the field and met Jeff. We became close friends pretty quickly. Riding our bikes up and down our road eventually became riding fourwheelers together to driving down backroad when we got our licenses. Jeff is my A1 since day 1 he’s not my friend he’s my brother.

Em and I met in August of 2019 when she moved into the dorm room right next to mine at Heidelberg. In our time at college together we made many Walmart trips, got lots of sweet treats, and cackled at jokes together most nights. When Em moved home I feared I’d lose my next door bestie as she was now 4 hours away. Throughout many life changes we have remained close despite the distance. I was elated when I got the excited call from her that Jeffery had proposed. Through all the trials of life she’s been one call away and vice versa. I’m excited to get to witness my best friend become a wife!

My first time meeting Jeffery was our 6th grade year at Camp Hervida. He was just a little boy with a big attitude. Our buddy Travis introduced us to each other and after that we’ve became good friends. Afterwards us 3 started to hang out more and more from talking about hunting fishing and cars to going to the mall, to riding 4wheelers and wrecking cars.

I am not exactly sure at what point I met Emily, but I know it was at a very young age. We were lucky enough to grow up together. Starting out at a young age, we played t ball and basketball together and we continued to play sports with each other until graduation. As we grew up, we remained close but not only through sports. Some of my best memories with Em were our annual Cedar Point trip (thanks for putting up with us Tom). We have been by each others sides for so many events in life. I am so excited and thankful to be standing by her side on her wedding day and adding that to my list of life events that we have been lucky enough to experience together.

We met playing baseball as kids and continued playing together through high school. My favorite memories together were messing around with Jeff and Levi in class or hanging out at the swimming hole.

I got to know Emily through playing on the same AAU basketball team in 8th grade. Her outgoing, goofy personality matched with mine immediately, and we became each other’s Homeslice, with matching headbands to boot! One year of playing basketball together bonded us for life, and we continued to stay in touch and support each other not just in basketball, but also track and cross country.

I’ve known Jeff for years but when we started working together out of town we became great buddies. We share a lot of the same interests and like to go coyote hunting in our free time. Jeff is a good buddy of mine and I’m happy to stand next to him in his wedding.
Emma Clark
Bridesmaid
I first met Emily through my boyfriend, since she’s his cousin, and right away I could tell how kind and welcoming she was. I then started to do her hair so of course we began to connect on a deeper level. over time I’ve loved getting to know her better. She has such a bright, loving personality, and it’s easy to see how much she means to everyone around her. That’s why I’m so excited to be a part of her wedding day. I feel honored to stand beside her on a day her life changes forever and her new journey starts.
Eli Eddy
Groomsman
Eli is one of Jeffery’s nephews, Jeffery has always enjoyed watching his niece and nephews grow even if it’s from a far distance away because Eli’s dad is in the Air Force. Recently Emily and Jeffery took a trip to Montana to spend with his sister and her family and enjoyed spending time with his niece and nephews for the week. We can’t wait for Eli to be apart of our wedding!
Maycie Mounts
Bridesmaid
Maycie is my youngest niece and the one you find with me jamming out to Morgan Wallen. I’ve always felt like Maycie has looked up to me as a person and I’ve always loved her like she was my own kid. I’m so excited to have her stand beside me on my big day
