Hannah and Blake's journey began on a late-summer night in Norman, Oklahoma, during their freshman year at OU. They crossed paths, unaware that this brief moment would spark the beginning of their relationship!

That evening, their conversation was fleeting—Hannah had approached Blake to request (in Blake’s version, demand) a change of music at the party. The conversation led on, and with his quick and flirtatious wit, Blake grabbed Hannah’s attention and exchanged information before she rejoined her friends for the night.

In the days that followed, Blake couldn’t stop thinking about his conversation with Hannah. After much discussion and receiving encouragement from friends, he finally asked her out on a date. Hannah, both surprised and flattered by this, excitedly agreed! From that moment on, their journey together began.

Six years later, on the beautiful island of Elbow Cay, Bahamas—one of Hannah's most cherished places—Blake bent down on the beach at sunset and proposed! Without hesitation, she joyfully said yes, and they celebrated their engagement with the family through the night.
