It all began on April 21, 2022, at Buona Forchetta in South Park. The conversation flowed effortlessly, the laughter never stopped, and by the end of the night, it felt as though they’d known each other forever - and Cavan was completely enamored. Somewhere between the pasta and the wine, Cavan confessed he wasn’t much of a sweets guy. Claudia immediately called that a huge red flag, so naturally, he ordered an array of desserts. He’s been making up for it ever since - often found in the kitchen making Croatian palacinke with Nutella for Claudia, and learning to love the sweeter things in life (especially fika). Six months later, they moved in together - not out of haste, but because it simply felt right. Since then, their life has become a collection of moments stitched together by adventure, laughter, and all the small moments in between. Whether exploring somewhere new or spending time with family, every place and experience has deepened their love and shaped the world they now share. Their families have become part of that story too - gathering in San Diego, Hawaii, Croatia, and Sweden. Together, they’ve built a life rich with curiosity, warmth, and connection. One of their favorite memories was their first country concert, held fittingly on a Saturday night. When Cole Swindell’s “Last Single Saturday Night” played, it felt serendipitous - the perfect soundtrack to what would become their last single night. Then there was Disneyland, where Cavan fell in love all over again watching Claudia’s childlike wonder light up the night. And in Puerto Vallarta, they danced deep in the jungle, mezcal in hand, moving to the rhythm of reggaeton. Before proposing, Cavan asked Claudia’s mother and brother for their blessing in Malmö. Two days later - on May 18, 2025 - anxiously awaiting a golden evening in Dubrovnik, he knew the moment had come. On top of Mount Srđ, overlooking the fortress of the old town and the glittering Adriatic Sea beyond, he got down on one knee and asked Claudia to be his forever. Claudia said “yes” - though Cavan, completely overwhelmed with excitement, had to double-check afterward that he’d heard her right. She laughed and said, “Of course I did… I’m wearing the ring.” The two were completely filled with love and soaked in every moment of that sunset. For the remaining two weeks in Croatia, they celebrated their engagement - surrounded by beauty, family, and the quiet disbelief that their forever had already begun. They can’t wait to bring together the people they love most - to celebrate the love that brought them together, the families who shaped them, and the beautiful beginning of their forever, in the most beautiful place in the world.
