Blake and Marissa have known each other since 2000. They have lived down the street from each other their entire lives. In 2012, they officially became friends and became interested in each other. They started hanging out at the pool during the summer, but once the school year started they didn't see/talk to each other much. Summer of 2013, they fell back into their summertime relationship. They hung out at the pool every day. They would spend all day together just talking and joking around. Eventually, Blake asked Marissa to be his girlfriend (with the help of a friend). They've been inseparable ever since June 21st of 2013.
Blake and Marissa went to the Endless Caverns in Virginia and absolutely fell in love. They were walking around waiting for their tour to start and they came across the most beautiful stone cottage. They took some pretty pictures and then continued onto the beginning of the caverns tour. As they passed the cottage on their way out after the tour, Blake stopped and put his phone down to start recording. He walked Marissa to the entryway of this cottage and got down on one knee. They are so excited to celebrate this next chapter in their lives with you. See you in September!
