Let's back-up a little bit! In August of 2019, my brother, Mickey, mentioned his friend Tanner, because I was venting about a guy I was seeing. I didn't think anything of it, but I did follow him on Instagram. In September, everyone in the state of Alabama knew who Tanner was, because he was Troy University's comeback kid on the football team! After Tanner was injured, Mickey invited him to come to our house that we shared. I can honestly say, I was excited, because hello, he's adorable! Well, Mickey and Tanner and a house-full of friends were at my house when I arrived home from work, and Tanner struck me as someone I wanted to get to know. He made a point to really talk to me and get to know me. AND my dog LOVED him, which is a big sign! So after that weekend, Tanner went back to school, and I went back to work. A month later, on November 25th, I had a notification on my phone from Tanner wishing me happy birthday. I was supposed to have a date that night, but I had been stood up, so I was kind of bummed. Tanner kept the conversation going and proceeded to ask if I had plans that night, and when I told him I had no plans, he told me we had to do something. That night, he came over to my house and surprised me with chocolates, where we had champagne and the best time, and here we are now! I met the absolute love of my life by a chance meeting. He is kind, he is loving, he is wonderful, and I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him. Here's to becoming Mrs. Blatt! #DarbyBarbieFoundHerKen
