Our story began over twenty years ago before either of us was born. Our fathers (Shane Knight and Jason Parchman) worked together at Vulcan in Clarksville and became good friends. They spent lots of time hunting and they went to other jobs after a few years but kept in touch. Our chapter started in 2020. I had just had my senior pictures done, and my dad (Shane) sent one to Jason. Cody saw the picture and then proceeded to ask who that was. He asked Shane for his permission to get my Instagram handle and talk to me. We began talking and talked for a few months before I got cold feet and broke Cody's heart before he could ask me to be his girlfriend. Cody was the gentleman he always is and told me he knew one day I would change my mind and he would be waiting for me when I did. Almost a year went by before I dared to apologize for breaking Cody's heart. A late-night apology was sent through Snapchat and just as he said, he dropped the one girl he was talking to just so that he could have me back. Thankfully he is not one to hold a grudge and I finally had the courage to date him. So on New Year's Day 2022 Cody asked me to be his girlfriend and I told him that if he was going to date me then he was going to be in it for keeps because I wasn't having my heart broken. So thanks to our dads, some time, and a late-night Snapchat we are here and I get to marry Cody.
