Our Story

The day we met 02.04.2019

Deva and Blake first met at a coding bootcamp where Deva worked and Blake attended. Their first interaction was when Blake volunteered for one of Deva's marketing campaigns and Deva poked fun at Blake for not being on social media.

Reunited at demo day 08.23.2019

Deva and Blake reunited at Innovate Birmingham's 9th Demo Day, where Blake saw Deva with her friends and approached her, playfully saying he was finally on social media. They decided to stay in touch.

Our first date 09.08.2019

Blake and Deva went on their first date at Surin in Five Points for dinner, followed by drinks at Queens Park, where they shared stories and laughs over delicious food and cocktails.

First photo together 10.04.2019

At a company event for Blake's work, the couple found a polaroid station and seized the opportunity to take their first photo together. They knew it would be the first of many.

First "I love you" 10.31.2019

On Halloween night, just as Blake was about to end a phone call with Deva, he accidentally blurted out: "Love you!" After a night of fun, Deva returned the sentiment, confessing her love for Blake. From that night on, they knew they were meant to be together.

First beach trip 11.16.2019

Deva and Blake's first trip to the beach was a weekend getaway to Pensacola, FL where they met Blake's Uncle Art and Aunt Lynda. They enjoyed the sun, sand, and nightlife - they even watched a meteor shower while cuddled under a blanket.

First Christmas 12.25.2019

They traveled, nervous and excited, to meet family for the first time, but were both warmly welcomed with open arms and lots of delicious food.

Quarantine time 2020

During quarantine, the couple spent countless hours together playing video games, watching movies and shows, and trying out new recipes in the kitchen. They found joy in each other's company, grateful for the love and laughter that filled their days as the world stood still.

Colorado winter trip 12.17.2020

Blake, Deva, and Blake's sister, Lorin, traveled to Breckenridge, Colorado for a winter trip. Blake snowboarded and Deva skied, and all were amazed by the beautiful landscape after being at home for all of 2020.

Deva's new job 3.15.2021

Deva and Blake made the decision to move to the beautiful city of Seattle, surrounded by the ocean, lakes, and mountains. Deva then started her job hunt for Seattle-based companies, ultimately landing one a month later, kicking off a new adventure to the PNW.

Prepping for Seattle Summer 2021

Preparing for their big move, they sold all of their furniture and more at a yard sale, then moved in with Blake's grandmother, Mimi, for the summer. With all the love and support from their family, they truly felt ready for Seattle.

Moved to Seattle 09.10.2021

After months of preparation, they arrived with just three large boxes and their luggage. On the first night, they celebrated by getting teriyaki from a spot right next to their new apartment and ate it on a cardboard box on the floor.

First music festival 10.30.2021

This time for Halloween, the couple went to their first music festival together. They got in costume and made their way to Boo Seattle at WaMu Theater.

First Washington hike 04.17.2022

In the spring, they tackled their first hike in Washington State, Rattlesnake Ledge. They couldn't wait to explore more trails and soak up the incredible natural beauty of their new home state.

Birthday in Hawaii 07.16.2022

Blake booked Deva a birthday trip to Waikiki Beach, Hawaii, where they enjoyed the clear blue waters and Deva's favorite tree, the palm tree. They explored the island of Oahu and had a blast with activities like hiking, snorkeling, and parasailing.

The Gorge 7.24.2022

Blake and Deva's first time at The Gorge Amphitheater was for a camping music festival called Group Therapy Weekender. They got to see Above and Beyond and a lot of other awesome artists on their Anjuna labels... in 100-degree heat.

West Coast road trip 09.02.2022

Blake and Deva embarked on a 10-day West Coast road trip that took them down Highway 101 and through Portland, the Oregon Coast, Redwoods National Forest, San Francisco, Monterey Bay, Big Sur, Sacramento, and South Lake Tahoe.

The proposal 09.24.2022

Their first time at the iconic Mt. Rainier, Blake surprised Deva with the proposal. Blake coordinated the surprise with four of Deva's closest friends, and all were there to see her reaction at the top of their hike in Paradise.
