The beautiful miracle of online dating apps! Eric and Clare first swiped right on each other back in 2015, but Clare ended up ghosting Eric (she blames her mid-twenties for the bad manners). But Eric did not give up! And on a fateful December day in 2018, something sparked Eric & Clare to swipe right on each other again. The two had plans to meet before the Christmas holidays, but both were too hungover to muster up any effort to put into a breakfast date. Nevertheless, Eric persisted and kept in touch with Clare while she spent her holidays in New Jersey. Once the two were back home in Baltimore, they had their first date and it was off to the races ever since! Eric and Clare had plans to see Taylor Swift in concert at the end of July in 2020 but due to the Covid-19 global pandemic, it was cancelled (as were Eric's plans to propose!). Luckily, Eric thought quick on his feet and proposed in St. Michaels, MD on July 1, 2020 to which Clare happily accepted. The two are over the moon with happiness and cannot wait to (safely) party with everyone next December!
