Cody and Jasmin matched on Tinder on November 8, 2018. His opening line? “I've been learning about important dates in history. Care to go on one of them??” Cheesy? Absolutely. Did it work? Yes!
Jasmin and Cody met in person for the first time on their very first date: dinner at Islands, followed by Venom at the Edwards Cinema in Cerritos. Jasmin was so nervous she downed three full glasses of water at dinner—and had to sneak out of the movie halfway through to pee.
Jasmin and Cody really got to know each other during the pandemic. It was when they first said “I love you,” met each other’s families, and began truly weaving their lives together. They shared passions—like annual Grand Prix trips and Sunday Autocross events—and showed up for each other in the little things and the big things. Cody happily spent his weekends as Jasmin’s trusty pottery pop-up assistant, hauling tables and cheering her on.
Jasmin and Cody officially moved in together on June 9, 2023—and quickly discovered that living with your best friend is just about the most fun thing in the world. These days, you’ll find them at home or going on walks around the neighborhood, spoiling their three cats, or binging their favorite shows.
Just past 1 a.m., on Christmas Day of 2024, Cody knelt before their Christmas tree in their Tustin home. Jasmin was so overwhelmed with surprise that between whispers of “Shut up” and “No way,” it took Cody a full two minutes before he could finally ask the question that mattered most: “Will you marry me?”
A long hug, warm sunlight, Laughter that only love can bring. The comfort of being truly seen. It lives in friendships, In shared jokes and quiet care, In meals passed hand to hand. We’ve felt that kind of love our whole lives— Because of each of you, And the moments you've shared with us. And when we found each other, That love only grew—stronger, deeper. Now, as we begin this next chapter, We do so with full hearts, Grateful for the love that brought us here. Our wedding is a celebration of that love— Yours, ours, and all the moments that made this one possible. We can't wait to share it with you.
