Our Wedding

Cody first met Mary in the summer of 2018 at Walgreens, where Mary was working. A few months later, they reconnected at a friend’s New Year’s Eve party (pictured), and what began as a friendship soon grew into something more. Since then, they’ve laughed together, traveled to new places, made lasting memories, and supported each other through every season of life while keeping Christ at the heart of it all.

Our Story 

06.12.24

Fairhope has always been a special place for us, filled with sunset walks, weekend getaways, and even where we celebrated our five year anniversary earlier that year. One late afternoon, Cody told Mary he was taking her to try a new restaurant. Instead, he led her to a quiet bridge near the Fairhope Pier, a spot he had planned out months before. There, Cody got down on one knee and asked Mary to marry him. It was a beautiful moment, just the two of us. Later that evening, Cody had one more surprise, a celebration at his house where our family and friends were waiting to share in the excitement. We feel so blessed to have such a loving and supportive circle of people cheering us on every step of the way.
