We're Getting Married!

Our story started sophomore year of high school when we both decided we actually liked each other more than just “best buds”. Since that day, we have been inseparable. Every milestone in our lives since we were 15 years old, we have been by each other's side. From driving lessons, to watching each other play sports, to graduating college together, we always supported each other. Our most transformative years from teenagers to young adults, we have been with each other through it all. Not many people can say they will marry their first love, and we wouldn't want to have it any other way. We are so grateful we get to start this new chapter of our lives and share it with all of you!

After seven years together, we got engaged! We traveled to Snowbird, Utah for a skiing trip in January 2022. On the second night of our trip, we had dinner in a quaint restaurant on the resort. After our delicious meals, the waitress asked us if we wanted any dessert. I respectfully declined, since I was exhausted from the seven hours of skiing we did that day. To my surprise, Cody said he would love some dessert! For those of you who know Cody, he almost never eats dessert, let alone order the sweetest option on the menu. As he was ordering for the both of us, I was connecting the dots since he was acting a little specious throughout dinner. After a few minutes the waitress brought out a bottle of champagne, and delicious bread pudding (my favorite) for him and I to share. He then stood from his chair, told me “I’ve waited forever for this,” and dropped to one knee and proceeded to take out the ring he hid in his coat pocket. Me knowing EXACTLY what he was doing I said “Waiting to do what?” since I wanted him to say those special words. He finally said “Kayla, will you marry me?” and to no ones surprise I said “Yes!”
