Dear Family & Friends

Welcome to our website! Thank you for visiting, we hope that you'll find all the information you need about us here. Please come back often, as we will be updating regularly!
It's hard to believe that we've been married for over 2 years now. We have been so busy planning our future, the time has just flown by. But we've been having a lot of fun with it, and thought we would set up this site to let family and friends keep up to date with our lives. Near or far or where ever you are you will know what we been up to.

For those of you who haven't yet heard our engagement story (there is probably not many of you left, as we love to tell it!), please visit "Our Engagement" to hear how Cody popped the question! If you want to learn a bit about how we met and came to be the fabulous couple you know and love, please visit "Our Story".
