Wedding Party

Samantha Wilson

Matron of Honor

Samantha has known the groom for 40+ years. I felt a connection with Sam as soon as I joined the group. Sam opened her heart to me and has been there for me with advice and just to hang out. When I started doing theater again, Sam was always in the audience for my show no matter the role I played, she's my cheerleader and I am thrilled that we have formed the friendship we have. Cheers to you being by my side at the alter and forever after that.

Brian Mcveigh

Best Man

Who better to stand by Jason's side than his best friend for 40+ years! These two have been through a lot together, they have lived together as well until Brian got married. Brian moved to AZ a few years ago and still manages to meet up with Jason when he comes to town.

Jessica Chandler

Bridesmaid

Jessica is my sister and a great friend. We may have not been close when we were growing up but, she has always been there when I needed her. We talk a lot now and I love the conversations we have with each other. I have loved watching my little sister grow up and have a family and I am very proud to have her play a part in my new journey!

DJ Stichter

Groomsman

Jason had the honor of standing by DJ at his wedding! DJ and Jason have been good friends since High School. DJ has recently retired from the military, he has a beautiful wife and two wonderful children. DJ was stationed in Germany for quite some time and he and his family have returned to the states! We are very honered that he will be part of our special day!

Elizabeth Mowers

Bridesmaid

Beth Mowers is Melissa's best friend! From the moment they met nearly 15 years ago, they knew they were meant to be best friends! They have been through a lot together and they know will always be there when they need oneanother! If it wasn't for Beth, Melissa would have never met the man of her dreams!

Kirk Baker

Groomsman

We are so happy to have Jason's brother Kirk stand beside us. We were very lucky to attend his wedding last February to his beautiful wife Michelle!

Melissa Tafoya

Bridesmaid

Now known to others as Tafoya and Hemme, we have worked together at CBI for the past 10 years! Through the years, Tafoya has always been there for me when I need a confidant and a friend at work. Since I began performing in theater again, she has been to all of my shows whether I am on stage or working behind the scenes. Our friendship has grown through the years and I am truly grateful that I get to share my special day with her.

Aaron Baker

Groomsman

We are honored to have Jason's brother Aaron standing with us! He's traveling all the way from Wisconsin to join us. Aaron is delightful and is always good for a laugh!

Avalon Dawn Chandler

Flower Girl

Avalon Dawn Chandler is my niece! This girl has had me wrapped around her finger since the day she was born! Avalon is very honest and sweet, she loves everyone and she has the cutest personality. I have so many memories with this little one but, my favorite was our family trip to Walt Disney World in Florida during the summer of 2018. My sister, brother in law, Avalon and I had gotten separated from Jay and our parents on the way to watch the fireworks and I was devastated, Avalon climbed into my arms and we were cheek to cheek when the firework show started on the castle and I forgot about everything. It was a very magical moment and I will always cherish it! I could never find another flower girl to set my path down the aisle!

Austin Mcveigh

Ring Bearer

Austin is the best man's son! He loves Optimus Prime and he has a great sense of humor! Thanks for joining us on our big day little man!

Melissa Kay Hemme

Bride

Dreams really do come true! Jason has been by my side for 13 years and I look forward to many more years with him by my side! We bought our forever home in November and life is good!

Mandi King Sorley

Officiant

Mandi is a huge part of the group of friends Jason spent his late 20's early 30's with. Melissa came into the picture a lot later however, this group of friends was always a tight nit group and they welcomed Melissa in with open arms. We cannot think of any one else who perfectly fits the role of our officiant and we are so honored that Mandi has graciously accepted this role!
