Like many our age, we both took the leap and decided to try our hand at finding love on the dating app, Hinge. After finally matching with one another over our shared love of the Chicago White Sox, we had our first official date at Maggie Miley's in Uptown. After several hours of talking over loud college kids (Brendan even lost his voice at one point!), we immediately knew we didn't want to waste any time seeing each other again and had our second date two days later, and the rest is history!

After almost two years exactly since our first date, Brendan surprised Claire at the Bruce Springsteen concert in Kansas City when he asked her to marry him before the show started in front of family and fellow Springsteen fans! Brendan recognized very early on in dating if he was going to fit into the Keogh family he would need to start listening to "The Boss' which made the proposal that much more special!
