Blake and Brianna’s story began unexpectedly in 2020. During COVID, Brianna’s cousin Madison practically lived at her house and was often FaceTiming her boy best friend, Blake — who went to Mount Vernon High School alongside Madison. Brianna, meanwhile, attended Greenfield-Central High School, making them rivals at the time. Brianna was usually just in the background of the FaceTimes, until one day, while eating Doritos, Blake noticed her on the screen and asked Madison to send him Brianna’s number because he thought she was pretty. They began FaceTiming in March 2020 and officially met in person for the first time on September 5, 2020. Just days later, on September 11, 2020, they started dating as high school freshmen — a relationship that may have moved quickly at the time, but one that would stand the test of time. Their journey continued through long distance while Brianna attended college in Evansville and Blake attended college in Kokomo. Despite the miles, their relationship only grew stronger through constant support, faith, and commitment. On March 19, 2025, during their annual vacation with friends in Anna Maria Island, Florida, Blake asked Brianna to spend forever with him. What started as a FaceTime turned into a lifelong love story, and they are so excited to celebrate this next chapter surrounded by the people they love most.
