Our Wedding

Jarrett and Emily met when they were finishing their first year of college. Jarrett had told Emily that he thought he was going to drop out of college and become a fireman, and Emily, not knowing just how often Jarrett had new career path ideas, thought that she would never see him again. Fast forward to the move-in weekend for sophomore year. While Emily was unloading everything into her new dorm room, Jarrett passed by and said he was living on the same floor! Emily was excited to have another friend close by, even more so because he had an illegal air conditioner. Jarrett and Emily spent a lot of time together that semester, from watching sopranos way too late in the evening before early classes to taking trips to Graeters for dinner. It was not long before they decided they were the perfect fit for one another! Jarrett proposed to Emily on 5/10/24. This also happens to be his birthday. Jarrett told Emily that his fraternity was hosting a formal that day. Emily was surprised that it had been planned at the last minute but not shocked to learn about the group of guys planning it. She was worried if Jarrett wanted to go since it was his birthday or if he would celebrate by doing something else. He quickly insisted that he wanted nothing more than to go. That evening, Emily was having a meltdown and trying to get ready. Her dress had a stain, and she did not have enough time to curl her hair after her mom, and she spent most of the time trying to get the stain out. Emilys parents acted like nothing was happening and dealt with her shenanigans out the door while she was running behind. After realizing Emily was not there on time, Jarrett called her, resulting in her getting extremely flustered while trying to drive around construction and missing her turns. When she arrived, Jarrett quickly got her from his car and started walking towards where the formal was set to be. She started arguing, asking where they were going and if he was taking the quickest route there. She was describing all the disasters that took place to get ready as he stopped her in front of the building where they first met and proposed.

Our Story

Alyssa is Emily's older sister and biggest role model. Ever since Emily was little all she wanted to do was be just like her big sister. Most of the time when siblings talk about what their childhoods were like they talk about all the fights they used to have but Emily and Alyssa could never relate, they have always been best friends. Alyssa is a big reason that Emily is the person that she is today and she can not wait to have her standing by her side on her big  day!

Anna and Emily met back in preschool. They started their friendship off with picnics in the park and trips to get ice cream with their friends and moms. Play dates and sleepovers continued all the way into elementary school! Anna and Emily did not go to the same school after preschool so their friendship grew apart as they got older but a mutual friend brought them together during high school graduations parties. They were both nervous to see what each other was like after so many years but it was like not a minute had passed! Emily roped Anna into helping at her family's teen center and they got super close during winter break and throughout last summer again!

Jilli is Jarretts little sister and the whole reason (outside of the air conditioner) that Emily got close to Jarrett. Jilli visited Capital on a little sib's weekend and Emily was so excited to meet her and show her all around! Emily went with Jilli Jarrett and Mandy to go see the volley ball game and Emily fell in love with the way that their family so clearly loved each other. Jilli is like the little sister Emily never had and loves every minute she gets to spoil and spend time with her!

Jarrett has known Max since day one of college, when they both suffered through Comparative Politics together. However, they didn't get close to each other until junior year when they became fraternity brothers. Max is someone that Jarrett can always count on.

Max Pratt

Nico is also one of Jarrett's fraternity brothers. Nico never fails to make Jarrett laugh. Nico is also from the same area where Jarrett's mom is from and thankfully they are not related to each other after much discussion. Nico is also someone that Jarrett can always count on.

Barrett is Emily's brother in law. Through lots of family vacations and adventures Jarrett and Barrett have spent a lot of time together! Emily likes to joke that she kept things simple by dating Jarrett because the family just had to remember one different letter!
