Our Love Story

We first met at our friend John's high school graduation party. Claire knew John and his family for many years and Blaine went to high school with John. While she was talking to her family, Blaine walked into the Edens house, and as the story goes, "His mouth dropped wide open" when he saw her. We were introduced and came to find that we would be next-door neighbors at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. As the summer of 2017 progressed, we hung out a few times with our mutual friends, but nothing progressed. After a month or two of getting to know each other in college, she agreed to go with Blaine back to Nashville to get on his family boat on the lake. As the sun was setting and country music was playing, Blaine looked into Claire's eyes and smiled. He then went on to say how he has had the best few months and asked her to be his girlfriend. She excitedly said yes, and then they decided to head to dinner. At that moment, Blaine realized that the boat wouldn't start and they were stranded on the lake. Brad, Blaine's dad, came to the rescue and helped them get the boat back to the dock. Since then, we have been dating for almost three years, and have loved every second of it. He proposed to her on Racoon Mountain in Chattanooga, on October 4, 2019. We cannot wait to start our journey together and are so thankful for everyone who has been a part of it.
