Dating App Success

The bride and groom both managed to swipe right on one another on Tinder. Claire responded when she wasn’t teaching or bartending and Chris responded when he wasn’t busy mowing the lawn. After a couple of weeks of chatting casually, Chris came into the bar Claire was working at late one night and she made him his very first Old Fashioned - a drink they still make together for movie nights at home. After their first date to Butcher’s Union, Chris also treated Claire to a visit to House of Wine and Sidebar- naturally she was smitten and the rest is history. After a couple months of dating and commuting back and forth to see one another, Chris suggested she move to Spring Lake and live with him. She decided to start looking for work out there which happened quickly. Within a month, Claire was established in Spring Lake with Chris and their puppy Riggs. Although everything happened quickly and grew from something neither of them took too seriously, their relationship has always felt natural and meant to be. They cannot wait to be husband and wife and to spend the rest of their lives as a team.
