Both out with friends on a typical weekday evening, Claire and Brian would have never guessed that this random encounter would change both their lives forever. A pleasant conversation at their neighborhood bar led to a night of socializing, with just enough of a spark of interest to exchange numbers before parting ways. A few days pass, and after a few texts and a few calls a first date is arranged. Another neighborhood bar, another quick encounter, but now it is clear to both of them: this is different, this is special, this is meant to be. One date leads to more dates, leads to more adventures and fun. Introductions to friends and families come natural, and shared passions, interests, and goals of two individuals become one. Their journey continues as both seek further schooling for advancement in their professional lives, daunting tasks to pursue, but easier with each cheerleading the other along the way. To Northern Liberties, to Manayunk, and Cherry Hill, they move to pursue their dreams, making new friends, getting new jobs, and finding new passions and interests as they go. Both on vacation from work and school, Claire and Brian take a trip to New York to enjoy a romantic evening on a cold December night. After dinner and a broadway show they travel to Rockefeller Center, and at the Top of the Rock overlooking all of Manhattan Brian drops to one knee, and Claire says yes. They tell their parents and their families, their coworkers and the friends, and everyone congratulates their confirmation of love and commitment; an engagement that both Claire and Brian seemingly always knew would happen ever since that very first date several years ago. Now, with a date set and all events planned, on July 6th Claire and Brian will join together in front of all of those who care for them: an acknowledgement of their dedication to each other, a jubilation of their love for one another, and a celebration for the start of their lifelong journey together.
