Our Wedding

Living 15 miles apart they knew of each other but it wasn't until Blake started working for Riquella's sister and brother-in-law that they started noticing each other. Riquella would help deliver meals and parts for her sister and brother-in-law, and sometimes she would run into Blake. After a few years of delivering meals and bumping into each other they finally truly connected. Both graduated in May of 2016 and 4 days after graduation, Riquella was working cows with her family. Blake along with a few other workers decided to stop by and help. After finishing up they went back to the farm and had supper and started discussing college and scholarships. That night Blake sent Riquella a picture of his scholarship on Facebook and the two began talking more. They spent the entire summer going on dates, whether it was to the movies or riding in the tractor, chopper, or semi. Riquella started delivering meals more and more for her sister that summer and fall. All of Blake's hard work must have sparked an interest in Riquella because they finally started officially dating August 10th, 2016 (Blake attempted a few times before this but Riquella is stubborn.) After five years of dating and growing together Blake decided to take their love to another level in Nashville, Tennessee. On Sunday, December 12th, 2021, the two were getting ready to go on a horse carriage ride and Riquella got her Cinderella moment (or as her nieces would call her CinderBella.) Blake shocked Riquella by dropping to one knee and asking her to spend the rest of her life with him, beginning their love story.
