Some love stories happen quickly. Ours took the scenic route. Codie and Lacy first met shortly after high school while working together at a restaurant called The Woodshed. Lacy as the hostess, Codie working in the kitchen. Between long shifts, shared laughs, and late nights, a friendship formed that eventually became something more. But life had other plans at the time. Not long after, Codie relocated to Florida while Lacy moved back home to Maine. As the years passed, life became busy, communication faded, and the two slowly drifted apart. More than a decade went by with separate lives, different experiences, and no way of knowing their story wasn’t actually over. Then came January 2021. By nothing short of perfect timing, they found their way back to each other and somehow, after 12 years apart, everything felt familiar. Like no time had passed at all. Since then, Lacy and Codie have spent the last five years building a life together in Florida filled with love, laughter, adventure, and the kind of comfort that only comes from finding the person you were always meant to come back to. More than anything, they’ve found their best friend in each other. Whether they’re out on the water fishing, chasing sunsets, or simply enjoying everyday life side by side, they genuinely love doing life together. The quiet moments, the adventures, and everything in between have only made them more certain that this is it the forever kind of love people hope to find. If their story proves anything, it’s that what’s meant for you will always find its way back, no matter how much time passes in between.
