We started dating all because of a dog... naturally. Blake had known Ryan Rocheck, Brittany's older brother for almost ten years. The two met in college at the University of Alabama. Ryan, Dana and Blake had planned a trip to Kentucky for the Derby along with Brittany's Graduation from college. Brittany had started connecting with Blake to show off her new pup Kanga, and the rest was history! Thanks Kangs! After the nerves of telling the family (especially Ryan) we started dating officially in August of 2017. Brittany moved to Alabama that November. Getting close to both families and starting a life together in Tuscaloosa, we knew we were the perfect match. Blake was the calm to the crazy. We got engaged at the Biltmore January 24, 2020. It was a trip that was filled with hiccups and what could go wrong went wrong, but she said yes! We are so excited for our future marriage and even more excited to spend the day with our close family and friends.
