In the fall of 2015, after a few missed connections (or maybe Lynn skillfully avoiding Cody's messages), the two met with no expectations beyond a casual meet-up. Neither was looking for a relationship, so naturally, that’s exactly what happened. What began as a simple friendship quickly turned into something deeper, marked by an immediate sense of comfort and connection that felt easy and familiar from the start. Without any grand realization or defining moment, they simply became inseparable. Days turned into months, and months into years. Together, they built a life rooted in partnership, laughter, and unwavering support. Along the way, they welcomed their daughter and poured their hearts into raising her, navigating life’s challenges as a team and learning what it truly means to show up for one another. The wedding itself was never rushed, because their commitment had long been lived out in everyday moments. This celebration is not about a beginning, but about a journey—one shaped by patience, resilience, and choosing each other again and again.
