Bride

Rylee Bray

Maid of Honor

Hi! I'm Rylee, and I'm Jojo's Maid of Honor!! Jojo and I have been best friends ever since we met in 6th grade, where we bonded through our shared love of singing. We have been inseparable ever since, and she has truly had such an incredible impact on my life! Jojo is one of my favorite people in the entire world, and I'm so excited to see her and Blake grow together in such a beautiful, Godly relationship.

Bryanna Schuh

Bridesmaid

Hi my name is Bryanna and one of the bridesmaids! Jojo and I are cousins and best friends we live about 4hrs away but that never seemed to stop the connection we had. We have a special bond considering we don't get to spend much time together and laugh a lot around one another. Jojo inspires me with her walk with Jesus. The last couple years she has helped me step into my faith with God and continually encouraged and challenged me which I'm so grateful for. Jojo truly brings the light of Jesus to the world and helps you bring out yours as well! I'm and SO excited to watch her walk down the aisle and marry the love of her life!

Jessie Taber

Bridesmaid

Hi I'm Jessie! Jojo and I met through Blake! I was leading younglife with Blake at the time and got invited to join his young adults Bible study, which is where jojo and I met. Jo and I exchanged numbers and instantly started hanging out and getting coffee together regularly. How quickly our friendship developed was truly a God thing. Jojo is a person I can be real with and not shy away from any conversation. Her heart for the Lord is inspiring and her heart for Blake is beautiful. I got to watch JoJo and Blake start their dating journey and now I get to stand next to Jo, and watch her and Blake start their marriage journey together!

Kinncey Pihl

Bridesmaid

Hi! I'm Kinncey, one of Jo's bridesmaids and cousins. For as long as I can remember jojo has been one of my closest friends. We used to spend hours as kids planning our weddings to our 'future husbands' now I get to stand with her as that dream wedding comes true! I'm so excited to see the life Blake and Jo build together! They truly are perfect for each other.

Josephine Harrison

Bridesmaid

Hi, I'm also Jo one of jojos Bridesmaid's. I first met jojo multiple years ago when we worked together for less than 2 weeks. Then jojo and i got to reconnect at church, and a few months later, she asked me to be her roommate along with my dog Mable Joy, jojo likes to call her MJ! Jojo has been a massive answer to prayer for me. She has become one of my best friends and the best roommate. I'm beyond excited for this amazing new season of jojo and blakes life and can't wait to see what God has in-store for them

Jessi Vietz

Bridesmaid

I met JoJo through Blake, who was my coworker at that time, when he sent me her number. We initially met for coffee to talk about the frustrations of living with chronic illness, and that brief conversation turned into a fruitful friendship that I am so grateful for today. I was really drawn to JoJo's peace with her place in the world and confidence in the woman that God made her to be. It's rare to find such an honest and kind friend. Even though we haven't known each other for years and years it feels like we have. God has made is so evident that our paths were meant to cross. Getting to stand by JoJo's side as a bridesmaid and watch her and Blake commit their love for each other in front of friends, family, and God is a huge honor.

Blake Franklin

Groom

Evan O’Grady

Best Man

From roommate to adventure buddy and best friend Evan has been by my side through our whole relationship. He has been with us on mountain tops and in the valleys, our highs and lows, the good bad. Evan has been a source of support, laughs, and on occasion unnecessary commentary. I can think of no one that has had more firsthand witness to our relationship, or been a bigger advocate - dating to engagement, marriage, and beyond. Evan is a very special part of both of our lives and an individual we mutually feel honored to have standing by our side.

Lane Richards

Groomsman

Practically conjoined through childhood Lane and I spent our days sorting Pokémon cards and digging holes as we built our friendship. Now, 30 years later, he is still one of the most genuine, kind, and driven people I’ve ever ever met. He’s been my friend for the past 30 years, he’ll be my friend for the next 30 years, and he is someone I am proud to have standing by me for this special day!

Nick Kytle

Groomsman

Nick’s impact on my life cannot be understated. In my college years, we walked side by side in one of the most pivotal periods of self discovery in life and growth in our faith walks. To this day he is an unfailing source of encouragement, positivity, and wisdom. Though the distance between Oregon and Idaho may not always have him feeling like my “closest” friend there is no doubt in my head or heart he will forever be with my best friends.

Travis Spengler

Groomsman

From Finney Hall to a forever friendship, Travis and I have built an unbreakable bond. Through copious hours in the gym, the dorms, the dining hall, and doing life we grew to know and trust one another. I know Travis is a man that will always be there when I need a friend, always wants the best for me, and that will be by me on this special day as well as many more to come.

Drew Adams

Groomsman

Drew was the guy that got me through graduate school. He was the guy that pushed me to succeed in the stress of academics, and also introduced me to the peace of the outdoors. From moments of peak stress to standing on mountain peaks Drew was by my side pulling me through. To this day he remains a man of unwavering faith and genuine character that I am proud to have by my side.

Blake Frazier

Groomsman

From elementary school to today this guy and I have not only shared a name, but shared life. No matter what the circumstance, Blake brings the fun when it’s time to have fun and support when you need support. He has proven a friend for all seasons past, present, and forever forward. A friend worth closely celebrating our big day with!
