Cody and I met our first semester of our freshman year of college at Coastal Carolina University. We both left our northeast small towns and gave up everything we knew to pursue bigger dreams and face the unknown. We went into our new journeys wide eyed, excited, and eager to take on these new experiences independently. We both were fresh in our new lives and having fun was our main priority. It took Cody several tries to get me interested in him. Every time that we would end up at the same party, my friends would point him & his friends out and by the time we realized they were there Cody would already be walking up to me and doing his best to flirt and woo me time and time again. Eventually, I clearly gave in, and the rest was history. We've been together almost 8 years now and the best part is that we never did stop having fun. When you're with the right person, life only gets more fun and exciting together, even 8 years later. From dorm rooms and college houses, studio apartments, and now owning a home together and caring for Paloma and Lu, it's amazing to see where life has taken us along the years. We are so excited for our wedding day and to celebrate our love with all of our favorite people.
