Campus wedding bears
Oregon athletic theme

He proposes. She accepts.
What next?
This is the step when most couples pici
out a church, a temple or another typical lo
cation to exchange their vows.
Clay and Jan Jamieson chose a more out-of
the-ordinary wedding ceremony, however.
“We thought it would be kind of neat tc
have [our wedding] at the University be
cause of Clay’s affiliation [with the athletic
department],” Jan says. Clay, a University
graduate, is an assistant athletic trainer,
working specifically with the men’s basket
ball team and track and field athletes.
The July 3, 1999, wedding was held on
the lawn of the Collier House because the
couple liked the lawn area and desired an
outside service. The reception followed at
the Stadium Club, free of charge, thanks to
Clay’s job.
Clay received his bachelor’s degree in ex
ercise movement and is originally from Tuc
son, Ariz. He went on to complete his grad
uate work at the University of Arizona.
Jan graduated from the University of Ari
zona with a psychology degree. The couple
now resides in Springfield.
The two finally met at Clay’s family
owned business and were engaged in June
1998. By November of that year, they were
making plans for their green-and-yellow
tinged wedding theme.
“At first, when we were going to have [the
reception] at the Stadium Club, I wasn’t quite
sure how I felt because it was the football sta
dium,” Jan says. “I thought we were going a
little bit over the top with the athletic con
nection. It turned out to be really beautiful.”
As for the actual ceremony, Jan remembers
that good fortune chimed in later,-as well.
“One of the coolest things was that the
chapel bells rang right as we were saying
our vows,” Jan recalls. “I don’t know where
the chapel is on campus, but it was very
weird.”
And a nice addition to the special day.

Preparation, budgeting
lessen wedding stresses
■ Instead of hiring a wedding
coordinator, many couples find it's
cheaper to plan themselves
By Erin Marshall
for the Emerald
Planning a wedding can be like taking on
a second job.
While most wedding ceremonies take
place over just a single day, preparations can
take up to a year to finalize, says Michael
Fergason of Heritage Photography Studio.
Unfortunately, wedding coordinators are
usually more expensive than young couples
can afford, which leaves them with no other
option than to pull up their bootstraps and
do it themselves.
A big factor to consider is the wedding’s
cost. Couples can spend thousands of dol
lars on the special time if they don’t know
what their limits are from the beginning,
bride-to-be Rachel Brink says.
“The Internet has some useful tools on
organizing your budget and planning every
thing around that,” she suggests.
Brink has been planning her summer
2000 wedding since November.
