We’re getting married!

Our story began in the most hilarious way — at Callahan’s, where I showed up dressed for Mardi Gras… on the wrong night. Green tutu, beads, face jewels, a purple boa — and I was the only one in costume. That’s when Blake walked in with his uncle, and somehow he didn’t run. That’s when I knew he might be special. What made Blake “the one” wasn’t a grand moment, but the way he loved me through my walls with patience, kindness, and steady loyalty. One of our most meaningful memories is his proposal in Panama City Beach, surrounded by his family and with Donovan right by our side. Watching Blake and Donovan’s bond grow has been one of the greatest blessings — Donovan proudly calls him “my Blake,” and we’ve grown into a true family. Looking ahead, our dreams are simple: a home of our own, a happy life, and a future full of love, laughter, and the everyday moments that make a family. With the people who mean the most around us, we’re ready to begin forever.
