How it all began
“We hit it off right away. I thought she was really beautiful, funny, and cool. So I decided to ask her out and the rest is history.”
— Blake
“At first I thought he was too American but turns out he was really thoughtful, caring and handsome. I was impressed by his accomplishments and character. Once the booze hit, I knew we were aligned.”
— Roberta
Blake & Roberta
Blake and Roberta’s story began in 2019, thanks to a mutual friend named Dima. At the time, Roberta was preparing to make the big move from New York to Colorado to attend Physician Assistant (PA) school. Knowing she would be new to the area, Dima reached out to Blake, his former military roommate, who was living in Colorado, and asked him to show her around.
What started as a friendly introduction quickly turned into countless meals, hikes, and adventures. Before long, the two realized there might be a little more to the story than friendship.
They began dating in 2019, building a life together in Colorado filled with adventures, laughter, and plenty of memories along the way. In 2022, Blake and Roberta took the next step and got engaged.
And now, after eight years together and five years of engagement, the wait is almost over…
On February 6, 2027, Blake and Roberta are FINALLY getting married!
