While Coby and Bailey both grew up in the Shreveport-Bossier area and shared mutual friends, they didn’t start dating until August 2023. They quickly bonded over their love for 70s rock music, superhero movies, and—most importantly—Blue Bell cotton candy ice cream.

Through every adventure, every laugh, and even the quiet moments, they’ve seen the Lord’s hand faithfully guiding their steps. They’ve traveled, created unforgettable memories, supported one another through school and the transition into post-grad life, and grown closer to each other and to the Lord. Their church and community have been a constant source of encouragement, and they’re deeply thankful for the foundation of faith that holds them together. Along the way, they even added a sweet puppy named Millie to their little family!

As they prepare for marriage, their hearts are full of gratitude for all God has done—and they’re trusting Him with all that’s ahead. Coby and Bailey are so excited to start their forever!
