How did we meet? Depends on who you ask.... Mel distinctly remembers meeting at the Young Life Office in Jackson one afternoon, but Blake does not remember that encounter..... Blake remembers meeting Mel at Frontier Ranch and his friend Ross Barnes telling him he should ask her out on a date. That date didn't happen until two years later. Blake finally mustered up the courage and asked Mel out and they went on their first date in August of 2018. We went to Picasso's Pizza and played putt-putt at the overly romantic Casey Jones Village. Classic Jackson move. That date turned into many more and 9 months later Blake asked Mel to marry him at Come Unity Cafe and Mel said yes! We are so excited that you are visiting our wedding website and can't wait to celebrate with you at our wedding on November 23rd!
