Most people assume Blake and Riley met at the University of Florida due to their mutual love for the Gators and time they crossed over there. While they still share a lot of the same memories of gamedays, Rowdy's and Delt/DZ functions, they didn't meet until post-grad when they both moved to Atlanta. Blake had been living in Atlanta for a while when Riley moved there in August 2017. A mutual-friend hosted a pre-game the first weekend she lived there and invited both of them. They hit it off that night they met, spent a few more months hanging out with their ATL Gator friends until it became just the two of them spending weekends together exploring their new city.

Over the last 6 years, Blake and Riley have gone on many trips together including annual ski trips to Colorado with their friends, visiting family in Virginia, Florida, Maine and Southern California, cruising to Cuba, and plenty of Gators home & away games. No matter what they're doing, they always have fun together. They love picking up new sports and activities, making each other laugh, and spending time with their wonderful friends.

In August 2021 they made the move to Jacksonville, FL and bought their first house in February 2023 solidifying Atlantic Beach as their home together. Blake pulled off the best surprise proposal to Riley on April 25, 2023 with friends and her mom there!

They now enjoy weekends spent doing house projects, mowing the lawn, attempting to surf and playing pickleball. They are so excited to have their friends and family experience everything they love about beach-side living!
