Our Wedding

Once upon a time in February 2022, two accountants decided to swipe right on Bumble, not knowing that numbers would soon become the least interesting thing they had in common. Kody was intrigued by Sam's love for spreadsheets, and Sam was equally curious about Kody's. So naturally, they met at Market Street Steakhouse in Redding, where Sam, true to form, ordered her favorite fish tacos. Kody, however, being new to the place, took a leap of faith with a random short rib dish. Spoiler alert: the food was good, but the company was better. The night ended with a couple of drinks, lots of laughs, and Sam making the first move with a kiss at his car. (Yes, Kody was smitten from that very moment.) Fast forward a couple months, and Kody was introduced to Sam's mini-me, Scarlet—who, at the time, was 4 going on 5. They embarked on their first family adventure to Brookings, Oregon, where Scarlet set the tone for future travels by "misplacing" the Airbnb key… before they even made it inside. But hey, what’s a trip without a little chaos? From there, their love story only grew, taking them to Chicago, the Wisconsin Dells, Minneapolis, Kauai, and the magical land of Disneyland. They bonded over their shared love for Harry Potter (Sam’s unwavering devotion, Kody’s newfound interest), champagne and cocktails (mostly champagne), and countless new restaurants. Of course, the real highlight of their evenings isn’t a fancy dinner or a night out. It’s those sweet moments before Scarlet’s bedtime, filled with laughter and the kind of love that’s better than any sitcom. Kody quickly realized he had found his perfect match in Sam. Together, they’ve built a life filled with adventure, joy, and endless love—for each other and for Scarlet. And now, they’re excited to write the next chapter of their story with you all!
