Our Wedding

Two souls meant to find one another 

It all started when... 	Cody's sister, Alesha (who also happens to be Hannah's best friend), decided to play matchmaker and give Cody Hannah's number. Hannah and Cody talked for two days nonstop and decided to go on their first date on Hannah's birthday. 	At approximately 11pm (ignoring stranger danger at a late hour), Hannah was picked up by Cody and he whisked her away to Saylorville Dam to watch the water and enjoy some already melted (from talking too long) ice cream. All night long, neither of them could stop talking, giggling, and smiling. While neither would admit it right then and there, it was truly love at first sight. 	Fast forward a little over a year and a half, the two couldn't stand to do long distance any longer, while traveling two hours every weekend to see one another, and decided it was time to move in together. It wasn't long after when, on September 26th 2024, that Cody got down on one knee while recreating their first date, and asked Hannah to marry him. 	A tale as old as time, a love stronger than either of them could have ever dreamed, two people found their way to each other (through the help of a friend/sister), and their hearts couldn't be fuller. And I'd choose you, in a hundred lifetimes, in a hundred worlds, in any version of reality, I'd find you, and I'd choose you.- The Chaos of Stars
