On June 6th, 2016 we walked into a welcome event for our first job post graduation, little did we know we were stepping into the rest of our lives. Over the next year of stumbling through "adult life" we grew a friendship that quickly became a cat and mouse chase of one trying to catch the affection of the other. For our 23rd birthdays we schemed up the fantastic idea that we would throw a joint birthday party together (they are only four days apart). So as all newly minted young professionals would do, we rented a beach house, called up all our friends, and bought a keg....all the essentials were accounted for. After a night of celebration and laughter the timing finally matched up, and we never looked back. This would be the first of every birthday we would spend together forever. Over the next five years of dating we took on life's adventures and challenges together. We traveled the world, bought a house, welcomed our pup Cash, and on July 31st, 2021 Chris gave Clare the surprise of a lifetime. After a beautiful dinner at Mezza Luna, we went for a sunset walk on the beach, and Chris got on one knee, and Clare said YES! On April 8th, 2022 Chris and Clare surrounded by family made it official. We chose to have the ceremony be intimate and heartfelt - focused on the sacrament and commitment to each other. We got married at Emmanuel Catholic Church in Delray Beach, FL. This is the church Clare was baptized in and her family still attends to this day. There was not a dry eye in the church. Now, joined by all our friends and family, we look forward to restating our vows and celebrating our marriage!
