Devin and Cody’s romance, sparked on Tinder and fueled by a shared passion for horror, gaming, and music, culminated in a poignant celebration on their College of Physicians wedding day. While Devin is usually the loud one of the pair, Cody’s emotions spoke volumes throughout the day. Being avid fans of the supernatural, the Catering by Design classic was the perfect fit for their wedding.
Getting Ready for the College of Physicians Wedding Day
The College of Physicians wedding day commenced at the Kimpton Hotel Palomar, where Devin and Cody were preparing for their big day just a few floors apart. With the assistance of the talented team at Daneene Jensen, Devin’s bridal look came together flawlessly. Her ensemble complete with matching accessories from Olive & Piper and a stunning cathedral veil. The bridal party, adorned in matching green robes, shared in the anticipation as Devin slipped into her traditional lace Martina Liana gown. Opting for comfort, she donned a pair of white Nike running shoes, ready to dance the night away. With a touch of sentimentality, Devin’s mother pinned a cherished “something blue” beneath the layers of her gown before the couple’s emotional first look.
Meanwhile, in Cody’s quarters, a serendipitous reunion unfolded as Michelle was recognized by one of Cody’s cousins from their elementary school days. Before getting dressed for the College of Physicians wedding day ahead, the guys relaxed with a few rounds of their favorite video games. Cody, now donning his timeless black suit, then headed to the lobby for the long anticipated first look with his bride.
