Kyle was dog sitting for a friend in Claire's apartment complex in downtown Ithaca. While out for a walk, Annie pulled Claire over to Kyle to ensure he introduced himself. After exchanging names of both humans and dogs, Kyle said "It was nice to meet you, Annie! What was your dog's name again?" To which she said "...that's actually my dog's name. I'm Claire." The rest is history. After countless date nights, trips up and down the east coast, family dinners, watching the Bills games every Sunday, and long walks with Annie, it was hard to remember what life was like before they met. Claire and Kyle realized it was time to make it official.
