Our Story

Marilyn Christine and John Blake’s story began as a classic forbidden love, a spirited romance that many thought wouldn't last. However, they quickly proved people wrong by building a relationship rooted in being perfectly compatible partners. Their bond is defined by an easy-going nature that makes every day feel effortless. Whether they are exploring a new city as great travel companions or discovering a hidden local gem, their spontaneous spirit keeps life fun and unpredictable. While they share many of the same interests, they thrive because they constantly learn from each other, growing stronger with every new adventure. In the years since they first met, they have built a full life together, first welcoming their beautiful baby girl into the world. Their journey continued with the purchase of their first home; on the day they closed, surrounded by the promise of their future, John proposed to Marilyn to solidify their commitment to each other. Now, they are ready to celebrate the love that started it all, by saying "I do" to complete their beautiful backward journey!
