Mary Elizabeth and Cody met in high school. They were friends who starred in a music video together for chemistry class but never dated. They went their separate ways and reconnected when they ran into each other in 2019. Their hearts were still not ready at that time but after over a year of maturing, texting, and a few hang outs their similar personalities and comfort around one another kept bringing them back together until they went on their first official date February 13, 2021. They met for drinks and ended up getting caught up in conversation, not realizing 4 hours had passed until the waitress let them know she was leaving. At that point they knew there was something special there, even though they weren't entirely sure if it was a date or not until a few days later when Mary Elizabeth asked "was that a date?" To which Cody replied "I'd like to think so. And I'd like to do it again." So they did, and continue to do for the rest of their lives❤️
