Cody and Mallory’s story began at the University of Central Florida, where they crossed paths many times during their undergraduate years. Cody was involved in his fraternity, Theta Chi, while Mallory was an active member of Alpha Xi Delta. Although they shared the same campus, it took the help of close friends to finally bring them together. After being set up, they began dating on May 3rd, 2021. Their early relationship was filled with karaoke nights, bonfires, Mario Party competitions, pool days, trips, and... studying! One of Mallory’s favorite memories from that time is watching Cody sing Frank Sinatra at the local college bar—always while wearing a Party City cowboy hat. After Mallory graduated, the couple took on adulthood together, moving into a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment. Wanting more space, Cody and Mallory purchased a two-story townhome in Carrollwood in August 2024, complete with the perfect backyard for their dog, Bo. They continue to create a home they love and a welcoming place for family and friends. On weekends, Cody and Mallory enjoy visiting their local farmers market, watching football with friends, and exploring the Tampa/St. Pete area. They’ve also grown to love attending Tampa Bay Lightning hockey games and the occasional Tampa Bay Rays game; Despite this, Mallory is still a diehard Brewers fan. Family and friends are incredibly important to Cody and Mallory, and they are so excited to celebrate their special day with everyone they love. They hope to see you there!
