We're getting married!

Cody & Hailey knew each other from their time attending Green Bay, Wisconsin's Preble Highschool. A few short years passed and Hailey moved to Miami to chase her dreams of becoming a college student and Division One cheerleader. Cody pursued his dreams of joining the United States Navy and was stationed in California. Our two love birds reconnected through social media in August of 2015, neither of them thought anything of it, but continued to talk throughout the months. Around came December when Hailey would travel to Minneapolis to see her family for Christmas and Cody would go to Green Bay to see his. Hailey brought up the idea of visiting Cody in Green Bay, although he agreed, he never believed she would make the long journey just for him. Sure enough on Christmas night Hailey showed up on Cody's front door and they've been going steady ever since.

The back story to this tale of love begins in National Harbor where Cody and Hailey, continuing their long distance relationship, would sight see whenever Hailey visited. They picked the special time of year for the annual tree lighting ceremony and dinner, of course this was during the holiday filled month of December. On December 14th 2019, Cody found no better time than this to pop the question. Haileys parents had just arrived in time for Haileys police academy graduation, which would make this moment even more special. Cody urged Hailey to get her nails done the night before (this was a prerequisite) so he could get down on one knee, in front of the massive National Harbor Christmas tree, with her parents standing by with cameras, to ask for her hand in marriage.
