It all started in the halls of Wayne Valley High School when Claire noticed a cute boy with a huge smile and a massive amount of curly hair. Although she never got the courage to talk to him in high school, many years later, fate came into play. In 2017, much to her surprise, she matched with James on Tinder! They went on their first date to a sushi restaurant named Umi's, where Claire, who had never had sushi before, attempted to cut it with a fork. After that moment, James knew there had to be a second date. And a third. And a forth...until they both knew that they were meant to be together. The road had not been easy for them at first, but they always knew that no matter what, they both considered each other "the one." On September 16th 2021, on the day they closed on their first home in North Carolina, James got down on one knee and proposed. It was the easiest "Yes" Claire has ever said. Now they are living their Happily-Ever-After, and can't wait for all of their friends and family to join in their happiness on October 22nd of 2022!
