Lizze went to a Scotty McCreery concert in Loveland, and Ray just happened to be working there. During a break, he went to say hi to some friends and spotted Lizze dancing. Unable to resist, he finally got the nerve to say hi and they talked the rest of the night It took a couple of months (and a lot of Ray’s persistence), but she finally said yes to a date at a local Italian restaurant. Two years of long-distance dating later, Ray decided it was time to move to Colorado Springs to be with her. They got their dog Bleu, who quickly became the star of the family. The rest is history!
