Cody and Chelsea met in college at Francis Marion University. Cody was taking a class with one of Chelsea’s hometown friends, Ben. Ben and Cody were studying in the Library and Chelsea happened to walk in, she saw Ben and came over to say hi. After she left, Cody asked Ben who she was and if she was single. He told him he would make the connection happen, and he did. They met back up as a friendly gathering, Cody said she had this cute, innocent appeal that drew him to her. They had a great time and then he asked for her number and the rest was history!
Cody and Chelsea’s first date was more of a night out. A group of their friends decided to go to a College party together as a “talking couple” to see where things would go. Cody remembers dancing and playing drinking games. They had some good laughs and enjoyed the night together.
When it came time for Cody to propose, he had the perfect plan. He asked me if I would help him out and of course, I could not say no. Cody and Chelsea are two very good friends of ours, so I was excited to be a part of the plan. My husband and I invited them to our family lake house in Santee, SC for the weekend where Cody could propose and I would take pictures of it. Cody asked me to take a photo shoot of them during the sunset on the end of the dock, looking over the water. I was so excited to help him and of course Chelsea had no idea! They got to the end of the dock to take some photos, and as I went to take the last photo, Cody asked for one more. He turned back around, took the ring out of his pocket, got on one knee and asked Chelsea if she would Marry him! She said, yes!
When asked what they love most about one another, Cody said that was a hard question because there are so many things he loves about her. If he had to pick, he said it would be her passion for art and creativity- which he says is her most attractive trait and characteristic that he loves the most. When she is painting, drawing, or creating a piece of art on her Cricut, she gets lost into her own world. Her focus and energy that flows through her while she is creating is such a strong sense of passion that he can feel it. When he looks at her while she is creating, it brings his heart joy and peace because he knows this allows her to bring out the best version of herself. The version where she is happy, growing, and learning new abilities that align with her purpose. To Cody, it is a beautiful thing to see. Chelsea says she loves Cody's constant energy. His constant motivation for bettering life, not only for himself, but also for her, and for their relationship. He is always caring and concerned for others, most always before himself. Uplifting and inspiring others is always a priority in his eyes, which is one of the things she loves most about him. It is very rare to see Cody in a bad mood. His love and support through many of her toughest moments in life has helped them to grow and see the important things. She loves his infectious smile and laugh and cannot wait to see what life's journey has in store for them. Cody and Chelsea enjoy traveling to new places together. They love going out on date nights to eat and going out for a weekend event. They love hanging out with friends and going to the beach. Some days they just like to rest at home and work on personal projects and watch TV.
Cody and Chelsea, it is such an honor to be able to capture your memories and be a part of your special day! Your Memories by Lexi Family congratulate you on your upcoming wedding!
