Stephanie and Cody’s love story began with a twist of fate. A spontaneous night out at a local bar led to a budding romance and an evening filled with laughter.

Cody planned a heartfelt proposal at Houston’s iconic Water Wall, just as the sun was setting. Surrounded by rose petals, glowing candles, and their favorite song playing softly, Cody popped the question to Stephanie as family and friends watched nearby.

On November 30, 2024, the couple exchanged vows in a traditional church ceremony in Galveston, surrounded by stained-glass windows and soaring vaulted ceilings. Before the ceremony, Stephanie and Cody shared a heartfelt first touch and private vows. As she made her way toward the altar, Cody waited with tears in his eyes. “Walking down the aisle was one of the most emotional moments of my life,” the bride says.

The couple’s reception took place in a stunning glass atrium, where an all-white design created an atmosphere of timeless romance. Family-style tables, framed by softly draped walls, were adorned with flickering candles and delicate vases filled with ivory-toned florals by Plants N’ Petals. The night was filled with energy and joy, as Colombian dancers and a lively DJ kept guests celebrating beneath the atrium’s glow.
