ÂÂ
When my relationship with Jewel started getting serious, I invited her to meet my real girlfriend … my bike, Ole Betsy. They talked a bit; she rode her around awhile. They really hit it off, so I invited Jewel to watch me ride at our skate park, X-Wave. I remember Jewel brought her friend Kelsey to come watch. I put Jewel and Kelsey on the box jump at the skate park. I was really nervous ’cause I had to make a good impression on this hot babe that came to watch me ride. So I dropped in and started really shredding; pulling all my tricks real smooth. I have been in a lot of contests and done a lot of demos in my life but I have never been so nervous before. Jewel is my good luck charm when it comes to pulling new tricks. If I ever need that extra boost to pull a trick I just ask Jewel to come out to the park and watch me ride. I guess that’s how I knew Jewel was the one. She does everything in the world to make me happy. I love you, Jewel.
The Honeymoon’s Over
ÂÂ
Well, our honeymoon is finally over. I wanted to stay on that boat and cruise the ocean for a least a few more weeks. It was definitely nice and relaxing, having nothing to do for a week, after our stressful wedding. I spent a large part of our honeymoon sleeping in a comfortable bed. I really needed it after working from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. every day for two weeks straight, trying to get our house ready, selling ice cream and landing a job as a police officer. The cruise was really great. Jewel and I went to Jamaica, Cozumel and the Cayman Islands. The Cayman Islands were definitely my favorite. The beaches were so beautiful. It was like paradise…
How We Met: From Jewel
So, Cory and I went to high school together (he was one year older than me). We knew of each other but didn’t meet until my junior year (his senior year) in art class. We sat at the same table and I had a HUGE crush on him. We flirted occasionally until one day I had the guts to tell one of his friends that I liked him. So, of course, his friend told him I had the hots for him. But to my dismay, he completely rejected me! He said I wasn’t his “type” and that he already had a girlfriend — his bike! I shrugged it off, dated other guys and the last I saw of him was at his graduation. I was taking pictures for the yearbook and asked him to pose for me.
ÂÂ
Cut to my high school graduation and me moving off to college 5 1/2 hours away…
ÂÂ
I wasn’t too happy about being that far away from my friends and family in the first place and one night I was online and remembered I had gotten Cory’s screen name from his friend; I was so bored I checked to see if he was online, and sure enough he was. Long story short, we talked online for about a week, then had all night phone conversations, which progressed to us dating. Granted, we hadn’t seen each other since he graduated two years before. So, we decided to take pics of ourselves and mail them to each other. I was so anxious waiting to get that package hoping that I still thought he was hot — and vice versa. Thankfully, he was still sooo cute!
ÂÂ
He told me he loved me for the first time in a text message and from then on I was hooked. He drove up with my dad and brother — whom he bravely met without me — to get me for the holidays, and I decided to change colleges and majors to be closer to him. My parents thought I was crazy but I just knew he was the guy I was gonna marry!
ÂÂ
Thankfully, everything went great after that! We’ve had our fights, for sure, but at the end of the day I know that there is no one else in the world I would rather fall asleep with at night. Cory is my rock and my best friend. I couldn’t imagine my life without him!

Marriage Advice for Newlyweds
ÂÂ
Being married is wonderful and fabulous, but it requires work. Here are some of my tips for a wonderful marriage:
ÂÂ
1. NEVER go to bed angry. It’s no fun waking up and trying to remember why you were mad at each other.
2. Make “love on me time” for each other. Ask your spouse what he or she needs to feel loved and make it happen — whether it be a bubble bath, a foot massage, a sweet note or trying a new thing she read about in <i>Cosmo</i> magazine (hehe).
 ÂÂ
3. Keep going on dates. Don’t become an “old married couple.”
4. Girls, don’t stop trying to look your best! (Just ’cause you got ‘em doesn’t mean you ain’t gotta keep ‘em!)
5. Guys, just because we’re your wives now doesn’t mean we became your mothers. Pick up after yourself, put the toilet seat down, don’t fart or belch in front of us, etc.
6. COMPROMISE. This relationship is not all about you!
 ÂÂ
7. Support each other. Believe in each other’s goals and help each other accomplish your dreams, because if one of you succeeds both of you will prosper.
 ÂÂ
8. Find a hobby that you both enjoy and make time to do it together.
 ÂÂ
9. Save your money and be as financially prepared as you can be. Just because you’re young does not mean you can’t be money savvy. Meet with financial advisors and map out future plans.
ÂÂ
10. Lastly, but most importantly, have TONS of sex. Good marriages need lots of it!

I have a question for Jewel - Where did you get your wedding dress?? The designer? I loved it!
July 28th, 2007 at 7:49 pm
Hi Cory,
How much did Jewel’s engagement ring cost you? It was HUGE. If that was a real diamond, it makes me want to take a look into the ice cream business!

Hi Jewel,
I was wondering what was the the artist and title of the song that was playing in the video clip when you are walking down the aisle? It sounds like they are saying “I can’t live without you” but that’s the only part of the song I could hear clearly.. it’s stuck in my head now

Congrats guys! My husband is a cop also, so I know how hard it can be to be a “police wife.” Thank you, Cory, for serving your community. I know it is a big sacrifice that many do not appreciate. I am sure that Jewel is proud of you.

Hey guys! Just wanted to say I have been with my husband since I was 15! We got married when we were 19. My 8th anniversary is coming up. Being married to my high school sweetheart is the best. All my best wishes…

hey guys.. i justed wanted to say that yall was the best!!!!!i hope yall have lots of more of the best wishes!!!!!!!!!love yall.

I guess I think differently from all your other people. I personally think Cory is such a good guy, but I think you sacrifice too much. I have to agree with your friends. If Jewels loved you so much like she said she did, she should of asked you to stop your bmx. Obviously it was something that you loved and I know if it was me, I would of supported you 100%. There was nothing bad with it. Jewels is just simply a brat. Yeah yeah Cory I know you say that you love her but she should of supported you, just like you would of supported you if she had adream or something special going on her life. I totally agree with your friends.
