Our Wedding

We first met at Shellman’s Bluff several years ago and became friends quickly. From the very beginning, there was an easy connection between us — full of laughter, great conversation, and a shared love for the outdoors.Over time, that friendship naturally grew into something more. In 2020, we spent more time together and realized just how much we enjoyed each other’s company. It didn’t take long before we both knew there was something special there. One memorable fishing trip later, I found myself hooked — and not just on the fishing!Blake officially asked me to be his girlfriend on the dock at Shellman’s Bluff on September 26, 2020. Since then, our relationship has been filled with adventures — from hunting and fishing to traveling and making countless memories together. What started as friendship has turned into the greatest adventure of all.
