How did your love story begin?

We met all the way back in high school when Iris was the foreign exchange student! We both grew up a little and reconnected 4 years ago, and we haven’t stopped talking since.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Cody visited Iris in the Netherlands while we were doing long distance, and we went to a theme park there. Our favorite memory is standing there, watching a water show at night while it was raining ever-so-slightly and just enjoying each other’s presence. One of those core memory moments!

What would you do with $20,000?

Take a really nice honeymoon and get a new car! We got married in our kitchen at our housewarming party surrounded by our favorite people, and haven’t gotten a chance to go on a honeymoon just yet. This would certainly help! A new car is the next step into securing a good life for our growing family.
