July Elopement
Marissa and Kodi – July 2, 2024
Kodi and I first met at my work place in 2022, where I was just “Kaisen’s teacher”. Our daily conversation for months was a short and quick Goodmorning/afternoon and have a good day” — or jazzing it up with a “hey he needs diapers.”
One day while doing our “hey” “bye,” a coworker who grew up with Kodi made a comment about him being a good guy after he left. Little did we know, Kodi was in the hallway listening. Later that same day, I asked my coworker to send Kodi my snapchat and then it began.
As two single parents, we weren’t sure in the beginning just where our conversations would actually take us. We first met together outside of work on a random weekday where we became inseparable; spending everyday after that together. From shared stories to undying laughter, we quickly fell in love with each other, and each other’s kids.
After a year of laughs, cries, memories, and lots of love, Kodi got on one knee on November 9th, 2023. This was without a doubt the easiest yes of my life and the BIGGEST surprise of all. What I thought was a normal photo session for us, turned into a day I will cherish forever.
I thank God everyday for bringing Kodi into my life. i know He has the greatest plans for us and our family. We are so excited to begin our forever and always together!!
Our first day was definitely one to remember. We went to his favorite restaurant at Texas Long Horns and had a nice dinner and a jam session on the way back. Halfway home, we got pulled over for speeding and what went from 3 tickets turned into a warning.
Kodi proposed on our one year of dating anniversary. He had a friend who wanted to “test out a new camera on us” and he knows i am a sucker for some photos. Little did i know, he had a huge “Marry Me” set up at the end of our photo session. We celebrated after by going to a local seafood restaurant and then of course Walmart.
I’m most looking forward to officially becoming Kodi’s wife.
We love the arcade so ideally we eat out, go to the local arcade store, and enjoy jam sessions in the car.
