Wedding Party
Jason White
Groom
Asked Emma out for their first date on Christmas Day 2021. The movie was terrible and Emma fell asleep during it. But he continued to date her. Jason reports that he is charismatic, optimistic and is reliable. Emma has a photo record of every time he was right. The count is currently at 2 if anyone needed to know. - written by Emma
Emma Lally (Blair)
Bride
Compassionate, loving, puts others first and willing to take a back seat to her own wants and needs. A person who will show kindness at any cost. Will hold you to your word and call you out when it’s needed. Unwilling to name and shame in public but will be a true friend at the end of the day. But will let go when burned because trueness is who she is. Doesn’t tolerate the toilet seat being left up!! - written by Jason
Karen White
Mother of the Groom
Mother of Jason she is an amazing person who through the years raised Jason the best way she knew how too. Of course being a single parent raising a young man has its bumps but it can be said she did an excellent job. Karen has always been there to be Jason’s rock and supporter when he needed her. She also pushed him to be better and learn hard lessons when life threw him curve balls. He couldn’t have become the man he is today without her love, support, and help.
Susan Lally
Mother of the Bride
Mother of 2, with Emma being her eldest. Born and raised in England. Went to culinary school where she then ran a public house and restaurant. It was here that she met Emma’s father Martin Lally and the two have been married for 35 years this year.
Martin Lally
Father of the Bride
Emma’s dad. She inherited her enjoyment for alcohol from him. He will most likely be found at the bar. Couldn’t do this without him. Enough said . . .
Holly Trumbull
Maid of Honor
Holly met Emma at YRTC when she was Emma’s supervisor. They developed a friendship while Holly mentored Emma giving her one important piece of advice “don’t sh*t where you eat”. The day Emma had to go into Holly’s office and apologize for doing just that by dating Jason was awkward. Since then Holly has been a rock for Emma and super supportive and that has meant the world to Jason and Emma.
Howard Warford
Best Man
Howard and Jason have known each other since 2016. They met through working at YRTC in Kearney. They became friends and their friendship continued to “blossom” (Jason’s choice of words) through sharing the common goal of wanting to help improve young men’s lives. Howard has witnessed Jason’s perusal of Emma and claims he knew it was all happening before anyone else. Is that really true though???
Karen Lally
Bridesmaid
Little sister of Emma but only of 2 years. Karen and Emma are more a like than they care to admit to. Stubbornness was something they both inherited as well as their feisty personalities. At times they hate each other. But nobody can talk crazy about them except them. They can go long periods of time without talking but when they do, the old jokes from a decade ago are still relevant and understood. Karen broke Emma’s heart by informing her many years ago that she didn’t have a normal laugh and that you can hear her a mile away. She took pride in breaking that news!!
Brian Cramer
Groomsman
Cousin of Jason, Brian has always been like an older brother to Jason. From helping him with sports, to going to the ball park and teaching him how to become a starting pitcher for baseball. You have given him different ideas and ways of becoming the man he is today. Jason couldn’t be the person he is today without you.
Nicole Mulroney
Bridesmaid
Emma met Nicole while Jason and her husband were bowling together. As the designated cheerleading team they worked out that they cheered better and louder when completely “hydrated” *wink wink*. Nicole has always been a listening ear and a shoulder to cry on for Emma. She also has been offering Emma advice on what to expect during married life eg. Don’t expect miracles. He’ll never remember to put the seat down every time!!!
Dustin Graham
Groomsman
Dustin has been friends with Jason since 2017 where they began bowling together in Kearney. Dustin is a friend that Jason can count on to put a smile on his face even in the moments of anger and frustration. Dustin was the first person who stated Emma would be the one after meeting her the first time. Dustin called it and was 100% correct!
Robbyn Kathman
Bridesmaid
Not long after moving to Kearney, Jason began socializing with Emma at a local bar called Chug-A-Lug which is where she met Robbyn. Over the years Robbyn has seen Jason and Emma’s relationship transition from friendship to the point of marriage. Emma has always enjoyed Robbyn’s sense of humor and looks forward to seeing her and checking out her new unusual phone cases!!!
Justin Cramer
Groomsman
Justin has always been like a brother to Jason. He’s naturally protective of his family and has always looked out for Jason even when times were tough. He also helped to center Jason and remind him in the importance of life lessons. Justin is also a big fan of gambling. If only he placed a bet on Jason and Emma getting married. He’d be a millionaire by now!!
BJ Cramer
Usher
BJ Cramer cousin of Jason. This young man, Jason has loved him since the day he joined his wonderful family before he could walk. Jason has watched him grow into a teenager, young adult, and a man. BJ has grown into a young man that Jason is proud of. Jason would often treat like a little brother by picking on him as well as helping to improve his bowling skills. Now that he is married, Jason has witnessed him grow considerably into the man he is now.
Braden Cramer
Usher
Braden Cramer first born to Justin Cramer. Braden who now is an adult has grown to be a responsible young man. Jason has known Braden since he was in diapers and even had to change a few of those diapers. Braden has always looked to his family members to look for guidance in creating his own path in life.
Broc Cramer
Ring Bearer
Broc Cramer third born of Justin Cramer. Broc is a young man creating his own path as he is still in school. Broc has a good head on his shoulders although needs to cut the hair he has. Jason has been there since the day Broc was brought home from the hospital and glad he will be there on the day Jason gets to say “I do” to a wonderful woman.
