For those of you who may not know the story of how we met, here is a little background... Kieran was training to run the NYC Marathon in 2017 as was Claire's dad, Danny. They discovered their overlapping plan while talking at a firehouse party. Kieran got on the job and into the same firehouse shortly after Danny retired. While they spoke, they decided to join forces and have both of their cheering squads meet at the same bar after their finishes to celebrate. Fast forward to November 5, 2017... Claire held a big party at her apartment along the route to watch the runners go up 1st Avenue. Claire had actually put Kieran's name into the app to track the runners but forgot to watch him as he passed. The men finished the marathon and everyone met up at a bar called Genesis on 2nd Avenue, on the corner of Claire's Upper East Side apartment at the time. After a night of talking fairly briefly, Claire's best friend, Christie, not so subtly convinced Kieran to take her phone number. He didn't have his phone on him but declared he was good at numbers and that he would remember it... lucky for Claire, he was right. His friends on the car ride home were pretty vocal about thinking it wasn't such a good idea being that Claire was the Captain's daughter... However, also lucky for Claire... he didn't heed their advice. After about a year and a half of dating in NYC and then another year of dating in Long Beach, Kieran proposed on July 3, 2020 at Glacier National Park in Montana. It was a beautiful place with perfect memories.
