Erin and Cody’s June 7, 2025 wedding in Washington, DC was a heartfelt celebration of faith, community, and love—values that have guided their relationship from the very beginning. Their story started oceans apart, with Erin in Istanbul and Cody in Atlanta, meeting online in 2023 and growing closer through intentional pursuit, steadfast love, and a shared vision for a life rooted in generosity, adventure, and cultivating beauty. They exchanged vows at the Church of the Resurrection on a day that had forecast rain all week but surprised everyone with warm sunshine, a perfect reflection of the joy surrounding them. Friends and family traveled from near and far to witness their union before joining the couple for a short, joyful walk to their Eastern Market reception, where they stopped for portraits along the way. As evening fell, Eastern Market glowed with romantic string lights, lush red, pink, and cream floral arrangements, and a lively dance floor that kept guests celebrating all night long. The night ended with a whimsical pom-pom light-up wand send-off as Erin and Cody departed for their getaway, surrounded by laughter, love, and the community that means so much to them
