Growing up only short distance apart, a little bit of luck and chance brought Jessica and Cody together. The very first date was at a local landmark in downtown Fredericksburg, Carl's Ice Cream. The rest is history, regardless of the distance and time apart from each other due to the Marine Corps, countless memories would bring them even closer together.

Cody and Jessica headed over to a friends house the night before the 4th of July. What she thought would be just a night of fishing turned into her catching something that would change both of their lives forever. With a little help of their friends and some planning, Jessica reeled in a note and a photo of the two. She looked back at Cody to see him dropped on one knee as he popped the question "Will you marry me"?
