We’ve actually known each other for years—thanks to mutual friends and always being around the same circles. But it took us a while to finally give it a real shot. Funny how things work out. Once we did, everything just kind of fell into place. We’ve grown a lot together since then—learning, laughing, figuring out life one day at a time. Somewhere along the way, we adopted Chevy, our dog and built-in adventure partner, and found a cozy little house in North Torrance to call home. These days, we’re happiest when we’re out in the desert, camping, off-roading, or just hanging with good people. We keep things simple and fun. On Christmas Eve, Karina came home from work to find the living room full of rose petals (yes, Cody went full movie moment), and that’s when he popped the question. No big crowd, no over-the-top production—just us. We can’t wait to celebrate this next step with you. ⸻
