Our Wedding

It all started with a little flirting, a few shy smiles, and a shared love of movies. Nikki was managing her family’s business, Spoil Me Rotten Party and Event Rentals, and Cody was working behind the scenes as a warehouse worker. A swim-and-movie night at Nikki’s place turned into something more when, during Boondock Saints, she stole a kiss—and sparked the beginning of something beautiful.From casual lunch dates to deep conversations, their friendship blossomed into love. On July 24, 2018, Cody asked Nikki to be his girlfriend (the old-fashioned way), marking the start of their journey together. That year brought lots of milestones—new jobs, a shiny new truck, and the blending of their families. They moved into a cozy duplex with a little backyard and added a fur-baby named Jax to the mix.In 2023, they bought their first home together—another chapter in the story they were building, hand in hand.Then, in 2024, came a surprise trip to Ruidoso for a much-needed Parents Getaway. Cody suggested a hike (which was suspicious, considering they are not a hiking couple). After driving up as far as they could, they trekked to the top of Monjeau Lookout. There, Cody set up his phone, found the perfect spot, and got down on one knee. With tears in her eyes and joy in her heart, Nikki said “yes.”Now, they’re ready to celebrate the beginning of forever—surrounded by the people who’ve cheered them on every step of the way. 💍
