Where should I begin… Blake and Laurie are straight out of a magazine.  Everything from the beautiful day at Allerton Park to the variety in their outfits was simply stunning. In addition to their dreamy photo session, Blake and Laurie as a couple are a perfect match.

It all began at University of Illinois football tailgate. Blake was a student there while Laurie was visiting from the University of Missouri.  Maybe it was liquid courage, maybe it was fate but Blake mustered up the confidence to talk to Laurie.  Although they were on different paths, their love for each other surpassed all the challenges of long distance.

After crossing paths years ago at that tailgate, Blake and Laurie are finally able to continue their paths together.  I cannot wait to see how their relationship grows. It feels like just yesterday I was hearing all about this beautiful Mizzou girl, Blake couldn’t stop thinking about…now he gets to marry her! Overall, the love these two share makes me incredibly happy for both of them.
