Kody + Brooke

A Blush & Gold Wedding | Muskegon, MI

It’s always an honor to be part of a bride and groom’s wedding day story. But it’s an absolute joy when it’s my own family.  My cousin, Brooke, has always had a sweet and bubbly disposition, with a sassy demeanor, and always ready with a hug.

She and Kody are best friends, each other’s support system, and he always makes Brooke laugh. When Brooke first met her future groom, she thought he was the cutest boy in class, and loved that he had a hint of mischief. Brooke knew that when Kody was ready to propose, he’d be terrible at keeping it a secret…and he was. But he was a master at the proposal itself, asking for Brooke’s hand in marriage right in their elementary school parking lot making it what Brooke calls “the best night ever.” (On the other hand, he kept her surprise 25th birthday party plans under lock and key! Go figure.)

Kody loves how Brooke listens to him, even his ramblings. Her kindness inspires him every day to be a better person, and he’s completely endeared by how goofy she gets when she’s tired. They are so excited about “doing life” together and growing a family…with some fur babies to start. Brooke knows Kody will be the best dog dad and eventually, an amazing father to their own children. 
 
This bride is truly loved. Brooke was surrounded by her wedding party in the hair salon, chatting in joyful anticipation of what the day would hold. Brooke was so excited and while she was getting makeup done with her momma (my Aunt Vicki), her dad (my Uncle Tommy) thoughtfully called to check to make sure his girls had everything they needed for this amazing event.  
 
Brooke nearly floated down the aisle to her groom on Saturday, with bright eyes, full hearts, and a church bursting with adoring family and friends, they began their new adventure. They know the road will be bumpy at times, but because they were best friends first and have such a solid foundation, they know they will rock whatever life brings them. 
 
Brooke, girl, I can’t tell you how touched and blessed I am that you included me in this process. From reaching out to me about the best place to find those perfect bridal shoes and the wording for your reception invitations, to the best place to stand at the altar for photos, every moment was such a privilege.

​Hugs to you both and cheers to this exciting new chapter!
