Cody and I first met in roughly 2002 at Northway. Throughout the years we lived our separate busy lives and had an acquaintance type friendship until 2014. I had come back to work part time at Northway. Cody had confessed one night while we were sitting at the bar at work that he used to have a thing for me. I being the type of person I am laughed to myself and thought that’s kind of weird and let it be. Then one Thursday night I got a text, from Amanda’s phone, “I need you (Cody)”. And that’s how it started. We texted a whole lot that night. And the next night. And the next night. We took some time away from texting each other to make sure this was something we wanted to do. My first text back to him after our little break was asking him his favorites movie. Night at the Roxbury. I was flabbergasted. I couldn’t believe that was actually someone’s favorite movie. So I asked for his second. Edward Scissorhands. More acceptable to me, but still an odd movie to be in someone’s top two movies ever. So we moved to music. He didn’t have a favorite song. Music plays such a big part in my life and has defined so many moments, so for him to not have a favorite song-I thought it was crazy. No favorite band either. I kind of thought he was blowing me off a little. Now I know, he really doesn’t have a favorite song. Or band. He’s just the chill, go with the flow, whatever’s on is good type of guy. Which is why I’m in charge of the playlist when we’re on road trips. We have grown in so many ways over the past 4 years. Some days we will still look at each other and talk about how it’s kind of crazy that we’re here today. Together. Best friends. Soon to be husband and wife. Adventure partners and beer tasters forever. ❤️

As you may notice, we do not have the normal registry. As a blended family of eight, we have all of the odds and ends and towels and plates that we need. We just want YOU there with us to celebrate our best day ever. We have created a very small registry for those who would like to give us a gift. Please do not feel obligated. All we want is for you to come and have a great time.
