We're Getting Married!

We grew up a mere 6 minutes away from each other-- but it took going to school at Bradley University to bring us together! Jessica first spotted Cody at a hockey game and thought he was quite the catch. Later that evening, at a fraternity party, Jessica made the first move and asked Cody to be her partner in beer pong. Flash forward almost 4 years later and he asked her to be his life partner!

Jessica headed up to Minocqua, WI for a weekend getaway at Cody's family cabin. Saturday morning Cody and Jessica were scheduled to meet his grandparents for breakfast. A change of events occurred when Cody explained that they needed to take the boat in for a quick repair. The couple headed out on the lake in ominous looking weather to take it to the launch. Jessica was concerned that they were going to get caught in a downpour so the fact that they were headed out to an area of the lake with no launch in site or the fact that Adam, Cody's cousin and best man, was there to take pictures on a separate boat to document it all completely surpassed her. Cody stopped the boat and asked Jessica to stand up on the boat's bench while he "looked into something". Moments later, he was on one knee and proposed!! After answering the easiest question of her life, the two returned to the lakehouse where they were greeted by family and friends to celebrate! We're so excited to celebrate this next chapter in our lives. See you in Stoughton!
