Once upon a time, there was a single guy just hanging with his dudes. Then this girl from Cali showed up on Vicki's roof. He thought she was pretty cute, so of COURSE he waited until she asked for his number. The girl was pretty clear about her intentions and "just so happened" to attend the next med school party where it all began <3. And it was on their first official date that he knew he had found someone special when she spit out her soft shell crab back onto her plate with no hesitation :) And yada yada yada a couple of months went by before they could get a picture together at Brooklyn Bridge Park and it wasn't a pretty one. But then the boy traveled the farthest he had ever flown (3,304 miles to be exact!) out to sunny San Diego to visit and stay with her family and that's when things started getting more serious (dun dun dunnn " He said "I love you!") From then on their love grew and grew for over five beautiful years! There were some bumps in the road of course, but nothing could stop them from staying together - not even months of intense studying, two summers living apart, a scandalous bout of bed bugs prompting an emergent apartment move, a shoe box studio in Manhattan, or Eric being annoyed by Clare's inability to focus on an entire TV show...........BUT they did whatever they could to make it work, loving each other and prioritizing each other every step of the way, and have even been able to escape the craziness and travel to Mexico, St Marten, Argentina, Uruguay, Italy, Denmark, and of course the west cooooasttt <3 So many more memories to make! So many more moments to share! So excited for you to celebrate with us!
