Jason & Logan Cox
Ring Bearer
Met the couple in 2017 & 2020 With the news of Jason’s arrival, we couldn’t be happier seeing as he was going to be the first baby on the Cox side for the younger generation. When Josh and I got engaged we knew we couldn’t have anyone else, but Jason be our ringbearer! Although when we asked him, he coughed … we think that was his way of saying yes! When we found out Jason was going to be a big brother we were thrilled! We couldn't wait to find out if we were having another ring bearer or a little flower girl. When the news broke that it would be another ring bearer we were so happy and couldn't think of a cuter duo to walk/cry/or run down the aisle! Logan is the perfect addition to our wedding, and we are so happy that he said yes (or gave us a blank stare and we took that as a yes)
