Cody and Ryan Shamet

We met in 2012 through Cru, a campus ministry at UCF. We originally met on a Cru spring break trip to Haiti and then ended up both having summer classes together. We met up at the UCF library to study for most of July. In the fall of 2012, we started dating. We dated all throughout undergrad and into Ryan’s master’s program at UCF and got engaged in 2016. He graduated with his master’s the same month we got married, then started his PhD at UCF in August because he just couldn’t get enough. I started my master’s at UCF in fall of 2018. Since we were both students, we could go to all the football games for free. Once we both graduated in 2020, we became season ticket holders. We do our best to go to every home game and one away game. We love to travel and try to represent UCF in all the states and countries we go to. We even saw fellow UCF Knights in Iceland in 2018 when we went on an anniversary trip. We love UCF, first because of the community it brought us in our marriage and in bringing us some of our closest friends. Secondly, UCF truly gave us an abundance of opportunity in academics and beyond. For that, we are so thankful. Go Knights, Charge On.
