Claire and Brian originally met freshman year at the University of Scranton, just twenty minutes away from their now wedding venue. After a year of admiring "Cute Brian" from afar, Claire made it her mission to bump into Brian as much as possible in their dorm building, at parties, in study halls, and during meals in the cafeteria. Brian's quiet nature made him a bit of a tough nut to crack, but Claire's outgoing (and persistent) approach eventually won him over. The pair spent all of Parade Day 2013 getting to know each other while partying with mutual friends- some of whom are now members of their bridal party! A week later, Brian asked Claire to be his girlfriend in the middle of their first "official" date; while devouring nachos at a local Mexican restaurant. The rest is history!

In December 2018, Claire and Brian flew from Orlando to Philadelphia to visit with college friends and Claire's family. However, Brian had bigger plans in mind. While partying with their "Scran-Fam" in Philadelphia, Brian managed to tell everyone of his plan to propose. Incredibly, no one let out the secret and Claire remained oblivious. On Sunday the 16th, Brian and Claire traveled to New Jersey for an early Christmas and birthday celebration with her family. Brian had originally planned to pop the question that day. However a delay in the ring's delivery left him needing to pull off a different (and ultimately more perfect) plan. Early Monday morning, Brian took Claire for a walk in the local park. It was there that he asked her to marry him with an intimate and heartfelt proposal. Of course, Claire said "yes" and was left in tears for the rest of the day (and week!)
