We met at a party during June 2021, eventually "making it official" a few months later. After several months of long distance, we ended up spending a year together in the Tri-Cities. Clayton proposed (at Woodland Park Zoo!) in July 2023, after we moved back to the Seattle area. We were married in an extremely intimate and secular civil ceremony on July 26, 2024. We are so excited to continue our lives together as the Clark-Douglasses!
