Tracee & Jason

Our StoryJason and I both grew up in Pickering, Ontario and have known of each other since high school. We had mutual friends and even dragonboated together, but were never really close. It wasn't until after university that we got together. After dating for 2 1/2 years, we decided to buy a house and move in together (eeek!). So, since June of 2005 we have been living in Whitby. Last January we adopted 2 brother cats, Jack and Charlie. (I attached a picture of them too - now you've seen our "family"!). On July 1, 2006, Jay proposed while we were out for a hike in a nearby conservation area - double eeek!!

Since before we got together, Jason has been working as a police officer. Jay absolutely loves what he does and nobody can imagine him doing anything else for a living. However, with a job like he has, some days are better than others and more often than not he sees people at their worst.

On our wedding day, everyone and everything will be at it's best. The photos of the wedding will forever remind us of the best day of our lives. I would love nothing more than for Jason to be able to come home from work after one of those bad days of seeing someone at their worst and be able to see photos of us at our best, and smile.

This is a poem that my maid of honour's mother wrote for us, for your contest. She is known to write poems for special occassions, so I am honoured that she has written this for us:

What can be said
About Tracee and Jay,
They're getting married soon
And they'd rather not pay!

They shared the same high school
But couldn't care less,
Passing in the hall
Neither one was impressed

In a big dragonboat
Way out on the lake,
Lots of panting and sweating
But still love didn't take

A friend brought them together
One date - what's the harm?
The rest is history,
Third time's a charm

Their wedding photography
Will be a big hit
Jay's shiny bald head
And Tracee's smile that won't quit

Please consider their plea
From Tracee and Jay,
They're getting married soon
And would rather not pay!

Jenna, thanks for proposing this contest. It has made for some very funny discussions between Jay, myself, our parents and the entire wedding party. Regardless, I hope that you will be able to photograph our wedding next year!

Thanks again,Tracee

I vote for Jason and Tracee. I have known Jason since he and my son were in Grade 1. It has been a pleasure to see Jason grow into such a fine young man. Jason became a hero in our family when he rescued my son after he went through the ice on Frenchman's Bay, then walked him to his home where Jason's Mom stuck him in the shower to get him warmed up. (Guess who dared Jasper to venture that far out on the ice in the first place?)
All the best to both of you.

Who curles? Tracee or Jay? Or both?

It's me - I'm the curler!
Jay tried curling once with some buddies...they wore their hockey jerseys and threw the rocks as hard as they could...hmmmm, didn't really grasp the whole finesse concept of the game! :)
