Cody and Lesley met on a night out in Miami in April 2022 — fittingly, on April Fools' Day, though what grew between them was anything but a joke. Cody said hello first, and that simple hello turned into easy conversation, the kind that makes a crowded room feel quiet. By that June, he had asked Lesley to be his girlfriend. In the time since, they've built a relationship rooted in love, support, and a shared drive to keep reaching higher. Cody earned his MBA while Lesley completes her training to become a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA). They bond over fitness, family, and a steady habit of cheering each other on, the quiet, everyday encouragement that turns two people into a team. Lesley fell for Cody's smile, the way he's her calm in the chaos, and how kind and thoughtful he is. Cody fell for Lesley's compassionate heart, her ambition, and the selflessness that comes so naturally to her. Together they bring out the best in one another, and they've grown side by side ever since. On March 9, 2026, on a trip to Maui, Cody proposed, and Lesley said yes, beginning the next adventure they'll spend a lifetime writing. Now they can't wait to celebrate their wedding day surrounded by the family and friends who've cheered them on from the start.
