Grab Your Tissues
I’m not crying — you’re crying! Okay, okay…I’m crying! GUYS I am not much of an emotional person, but believe me when I say this wedding had me in happy tears all day long and even now looking back at their photos I can’t help but tear up. This couple was MADE for each other. Jess and Cody are soul mates, it only takes a few minutes around them to see that they are the piece that made each other’s puzzle whole.
All The Feels
During her vows (which were so deep and powerful), Jessica painted the picture of their first kiss. She talked about how before Cody, she had come to terms with the fact that fairy tales created a false perception of love and what to expect of it – and that she would never truly experience that storybook enchantment. Cue Cody’s arrival into her life. They hit it off from their very first date (in downtown frederick – we revisited for their engagement session you can see here). And when Cody landed that first kiss on her lips she went ‘weak in her knees’, he took her breath away and then literally swept her off her feet as he helped her sit down. There it was…..true love. Her own perfect fairytale was beginning, and this was just the first chapter. As you scroll through their blog feature I ask you to pay attention to: their eyes, the way they look at each other allows you to almost feel a little piece of that love they have for each other; and their smiles, not just any ordinary smile…but a smile that you can see is overflowing with happiness, peace, and pure bliss.
The Couple
Jess and Cody are arguably two of the most talented people I know. Together, they can do just about anything. They are both super smart and successful, but also creative! Jess enjoys photography and recently even started her own business with it, she also can knit just about anything, and hand made all the table decor for their wedding as well as the awesome candle favors while Cody brewed delicious beer for their guests to enjoy with custom made labels and caps. All you beer lovers – Keep an eye out for Sabol Brewhouse in the near future!! Also, check out their awesome personalized ring box – I can’t remember if Cody made it or not, but either way it is so awesome!
