In 2022, during a season when life was throwing a few curveballs, Cody and Jacqueline matched on Hinge. Cody was recovering from a knee injury, while Jacqueline was navigating the tough but rewarding world of being a single mom, working hard to give her daughter the best life possible without ever losing herself along the way. After a few canceled plans thanks to illness, Jacqueline finally decided to take a leap of faith and drive out to Cody’s home in Liberty Hill, Texas — a quiet country spot where the roads are dark and the coyotes sing at night. Looking back, it might have sounded a little questionable… but sometimes the best love stories start with a little Texas-sized bravery. From that first meeting, the connection was instant. Not long after, Jacqueline’s daughter met Cody and quickly fell in love with him too, seeing in him the kind of dad and role model every little girl hopes for. After building a home and a beautiful life together, Cody asked Jacqueline to marry him on April 23, 2023, in the comfort of their own home. And of course, she said yes. 💍
