A cold January day in 2009, Cody met Lauren in graduate school orientation at Texas A&M. The two made great friends along the way, studied for classes, and enjoyed every minute of campus life. They were best friends through and through! Cody graduated December 2010 with a Masters in Agribusiness and Lauren completed her Masters in Human Resource Development May 2011. Both began their professional jobs in College Station. The summer of 2011 the magic happened, Cody asked Lauren out on a date and their relationship ignited. They traveled to see friends, enjoyed Texas Ranger games, and loved vacationing. During this time their love and friendship grew deeper and deeper; Lauren knew Cody had stolen her heart. On December 25, 2012 only one present was left under the Christmas tree, and Lauren’s name was on it. With her father’s blessing, Cody proposed on one knee beside a warm fire in front of her family. He asked Lauren to spend the rest of his life with him and to have his best friend along for the journey ahead. It was the best present she ever received- it gave her Cody forever! After the New Year, Lauren and Cody began planning for their big day. Being Aggies and since Lauren was born and raised in College Station, the wedding date had to be decided around Aggie football. The couple tied the knot on September 28, 2013 (the Aggies first away game) at Moore Ranch on the Brazos. It was everything they ever wanted. Cody and Lauren were so blessed to have had numerous friends and family members celebrate the best day of their lives- it was indescribable! Being able to marry your best friend is truly the greatest blessing! Cody and Lauren moved into a beautiful home in Bastrop, TX were they currently reside.
