Engaged Weddings

Aly and Cody’s romantic summer wedding day was one that we wish we could relive again and again! A little about these sweet newlyweds- Cody and Aly grew up in the same small town in North Alabama, but with Aly was a grade ahead of Cody in school they weren’t in the same friend group. They became “friends” in high school, Aly’s senior year and Cody’s junior year (Aly likes to say they dated but Cody thinks otherwise). Aly went off to college at Samford while Cody finished up his senior year. They stayed in touch occasionally, but reconnected a few years ago after a divine intervention where they “randomly” ran into each other on King Street in Charleston, South Carolina and the rest is history! They say their wedding was the most special day of their journey thus far and are so thankful to be in this new phase of life as husband and wife.

Aly says the most special moment of their wedding day was definitely the first look and private vows. “We were both just overjoyed to finally have that moment and it is one I will never forget. My biggest piece of advice as a bride is to truly enjoy your day. I had so many people comment on how “chill” and “relaxed” I was on wedding day and I truly was. I had an amazing team of vendors (shoutout to the incredible Engaged Wedding Library Team) and I knew they were going to take care of me and protect the day and vision that I had dreamt up for so long, so I wasn’t worried about how the day was going to go. I just let go and let my team do their jobs and I knew that if something went wrong, Sidney would take care of it! Even if something goes wrong or happens that you wouldn’t have expected, just take a deep breath and remember that ultimately you are now married to the love of your life and just enjoy that newlywed bliss!”

“It is a once in a lifetime day and it goes by faster than you could ever imagine, so try to soak in every moment. There will most likely never be another time in your life where every single one of your favorite people is in the same place at the same time, so live in the moment and take as much in as you can!”
