Blake and I met on tinder ( yes we are a tinder success story) . I was a student in x-ray school and Blake had just come back home from successfully completing dive school. I am a strong believer in everything happens for a reason and I now know god planned for us to meet at the perfect time. The first time we met up was July 3rd in ocean city, Maryland. I had my sister Lexi and friend Cassidy with me. Blake came strolling down the beach in his crocs with a big smile on his face and was nervous I'm sure. As soon as I saw him I instantly knew he would be the one for me. I quickly got comfortable and asked him 100 questions and he never failed to answer a single one. We shared lots of laughs and I felt like I had known him forever. We continued to meet up with each other as much as we could. We quickly got to know each other and our families as well. One night at dinner with my parents and Blake , they called him my boyfriend. I said " well he hasn't officially asked me yet". The next time we hung out I went over to Blakes grandparents and he ended up taking me to golden chicken and then down by the water. He said " So I hear you're looking for a boyfriend?" and I said " depends whose asking" he follows with " ME" and said "well in that case , YES" ! And ever since that day we have been inseparable. Blake is the best friend I never knew I needed. After a year of dating we moved in together. On Thanksgiving day 2021 my family and I were down at my parents dock at sunset. We were taking pictures and Blake asked for one more picture. I suspected nothing and truly was surprised. Blake asked me to be his wife, and that is a moment I will truly never forget. Blake is my best friend and I can't image life without him. We both have grown so much both together and individually over the last 3 years. Our love is so pure and sometimes feels like a dream. Blake is my forever partner and the best best dog dad to our bud. We love you all and can't wait to share our special day with you!
