After much convincing, Blake signed up for eHarmony at the recommendation of his best friend. One state away, Rebecca had done the same. Admittedly, Blake had to wait a full month for Rebecca to reply to his first "hello", but after countless hours-long chats, phone calls, and Zoom sessions, they finally met in person on 1/14/22. With so many similar interests - board games, chocolate, literature, and faith - it was natural and easy. It was inevitable. It was love at first *site*.

Blake got the invitation to the Miller family trip to Mammoth Lakes, California, where he met the entire Miller clan. Little did Rebecca know Blake had a surprise of his own. After a beautiful day of motorcycle riding through the mountains, they hiked to Crystal Lake where Blake asked the question. Blake's parents surprised them with a quick flight out to California. So that evening, the Reddicks and Millers met and celebrated the merging of two wonderful families.
