We're so excited to celebrate with you!

Cody and Claire met in true 21st century style, through an app. For their first date, Cody suggested a wine and chocolate bar in Binghamton, NY where they both lived at the time. It was not difficult to convince Claire this was the best first date idea she had ever heard. While bonding over a mutual hatred of Sigmund Freud, they were given free cookies and informed it was National Chocolate Chip Cookie Day. Although we may never know if Cody planned it this way, or it was coincidence, it sealed the deal for a 2nd date.

After 2.5 years Cody and Claire had gone through 2 graduations, countless craft beer flights, and traveled to cities in 7 different states. Cody attended his first Broadway musical and Claire went to her first wine tasting. They climbed mountains, adopted a dog, and fought over bookshelf space in the apartment they shared. The proposal happened spontaneously over dinner at one of their favorite local restaurants, The Beef, when Claire unexpectedly popped the question. Luckily, Cody wasn't stunned into silence and was thrilled to begin the next stage in their journey together.
