Our Story

#BecomingtheBarbers2021

Welcome to our wedding page! We would like to thank each and every single one of you for playing such a big role In our lives. We are beyond excited to celebrate our special day with everyone who has watched us grow and helped raise us along the way. 

We are using this wedding website to help answer any questions you may all have. With Covid-19 playing a huge factor in our lives; we will give updates about our venue, travel, and any requirements we may have getting closer to the BIG DAY! 

Blake and I officially met in March of 2018, on board USS BOXER. Although we didn’t work together often it would be fate that he needed my help, and only my help to work the the sprinkler systems.(this was definitely his way of flirting) and what can I say? It worked! It was like sparks went off and I knew deep down, he was the one. After a month of hot tub dates, and meeting my parents, he finally asked me to be his girlfriend on May 30, 2018. 
Flash forward to May of 2019, we both set sail on our final deployment to the Mediterranean. We were looking forward to traveling the world together and seeing how our relationship would grow during this time. Our favorite port we got to experience together was Thailand! However; In late July I unexpectedly had to leave deployment and return to the states. Thank God Blake was a phone tech and we could talk often, because we were not ready to be apart for months! In October, I was officially out of the Navy moving to NC and anxiously waiting for Blake to come home for good in November. With Blake finally home, we started the new year off with so many firsts!
In February, Blake started working for an HAVC company and I started working at a nursing home. With the pandemic in full swing, we decided to start looking for a house and quickly went under contract. June was a HUGE month for us. Blake surprised me with a week long trip back home to Colorado and proposed to me on the lake I grew up on. June 12,2020 was the “Yes day.” We closed on our house one week later and we officially planted our own roots in North Carolina. We both have started new jobs and currently loving life more than ever. 
We look forward to a lifetime full of laughter, cheers and happiness together. But we hope to share a piece of our future with you all on July 3rd. We can’t wait to see you!
