I remember the first time I officially met Cody I went up to him and gave him a hug. The first thing that came out of my mouth was "WOW you're tall!" I always laugh when I think about that, because hugging him is so normal now. It's funny how that happens, 3 years later the entirety of a person becomes so normal to you. From our very first conversations to now, Cody is the most caring person I know. I appreciate the simplicity of our connection, and being with him is truly my happy place. From the very start there was never a doubt in my mind that he wouldn't make me the happiest girl in the world, and that is still true to this day. I always joke that I truly believe Grandma and Grandpa Brim hand-picked him just for me from Heaven. We are constantly goofing around and laughing, we support each other in our vigorous goals and career aspirations, and we have also become the best of friends. 3 years later, and I'm as giddy as I was after the first date. I cannot wait for this new journey together. Through the good and the bad, I know we will always have each other. I can't wait until "3 years later" turns into "30 years later," and I have no doubt we could be toasting to that in what seems like the blink of an eye.
Words probably can't describe appropriately how we truly KNEW, but I'll take a shot. The first time I met Chloe was at a Bellevue West football game when I was a senior in college and Chloe was a sophomore. We stood by the fence and I remember talking the entire time and not watching a single minute of the game, which for those of you that know me know that just doesn't happen. From that point forward we spent all of the time we possibly could together. With me in Fremont and her in Lincoln that could be pretty tough. We would hangout, talk, laugh, just getting to know everything we possibly could about each other. I remember after about two weeks knowing that she was different. There was something about her. She was the most beautiful, intelligent, thoughtful, caring, loving person I had ever met in my life. I trusted her completely. She pushed me to think differently, to share emotions and talk about things that I had never been comfortable talking about. I knew at that moment that I loved her. We didn't tell each other until a month or so later, but I think we both knew then. Since those early moments our relationship has grown and changed, but we still hold on to those core values. We talk about things on our mind. We always push each other to be better every single day. I know that I have found the best person to take this life on with.
We both would like to thank you for being here, as we could not fully celebrate this special day without your love and support. June 28th cannot come quickly enough. We can't wait to catch you on the other side of the aisle! With Love, Chloe & Cody
