Blake and JoJo met right after she graduated from college at her cousin's wedding to her childhood best friend. At the time, Blake was in the Navy with her cousin and stepped in as a last minute groomsman. Due to extenuating circumstances, the bridal party was a groomsman short even with Blake stepping in at the last minute and so Blake had the honor or walking two girls down the isle. Blake had pulled some strings with the Navy boys so that he got to have the first dance with JoJo while a buddy danced with the other bridesmaid. During the reception, they laughed and danced the night away. He was the consummate gentleman, even flirting with JoJo's grandma and great aunt. The next morning, he met her after breakfast and took her to tour the waterfront battleship museum, showing a little of his nerdy side. He was still just as cute as the night before with his twinkling baby blue eyes and mischievous grin.... 5 years later, he still has those gorgeous baby blue eyes and they still keep each other laughing!
