we're getting married!

Vince and Clara actually "met" twice, both times thanks to Megan! On July 21, 2016, Megan invited both Clara and Vince out to a Photography Gallery in the city. Good times were had, but no phone numbers were exchanged. Fast forward almost two years later, April 27, 2018, Megan planned a surprise birthday party for her brother Mike and again invited both Clara and Vince. They hit it off, but still no phone numbers were exchanged. Megan started planning fun excursions in the city, allowing Vince and Clara to get to know each other as friends. There were some missteps ... Vince got Clara's name wrong (more than once) and when he finally gave Clara his number, he switched up the digits. They finally made it to their first date on August 26, 2018 and have been together ever since!

To celebrate making it to winter break, Vince had the "spontaneous" idea to plan a surprise fancy dinner for Clara. She was suspicious that this evening might be something more, but Vince acted so completely normal that she doubted her own instincts. After an incredible Oma-kaze dinner at Sushi San (chef tasting menu), Vince took her hands across the table, told her how much he loved her, and got down on one knee! Clara happily said YES, the restaurant cheered, and Megan popped out from a nearby table! She had been there the whole time, taking photos and videos to capture the special moment. Outside, Vince revealed a second surprise. In his own way of fulfilling Clara's childhood dream of a skywriter proposal, he flew a drone with a sign asking if she would take his Fraternity letters! It was the perfect end to a perfect night.
