Emily & Jon
Emily & Jon
As you all know, soccer is a huge part of our lives. Much of our time has been spent on the pitch playing, coaching or supporting. It's soccer that brought us together and it's soccer that taught us both what it means to be a part of a team. To be a member of a team is to be a member of a family. That's what these people are to us - our family. Some are blood and all are chosen. We have won, lost, fought, grown, bled, cried, laughed, celebrated and loved with them. And now we have the best team behind us on our most special day yet.
Meet our team!
