We met in September 2014 after meeting on okCupid. Yep, we met online! We met at Starbucks even though I don't drink coffee but hey meeting for coffee is a typical first date, right? Apparently, Gary was so enthralled by the conversation that he didn't want the date to end and invited me to get dinner. Not finding any other options, we ended up at Red Robin next door and our love story blossomed from there. On October 25, 2014, Gary officially asked me to be his girlfriend and we have been together ever since. We found the mutual hobby of traveling and whether it is a road trip to Georgia or a flight to Europe, we are always wanting to explore the world.

In December 2018 we traveled to Italy, fulfilling my long time dream of visiting the country. After exploring the country, we ended our trip in Assisi. I had dreamed of visiting Assisi since my Confirmation (I took the name St. Clare of Assisi) and it was here that Gary asked me to marry him. We are so excited to take this next step in our lives together and be each other's permanent travel buddies. Thank you for your love and support and we can't wait to share this day with you.

After postponing our original date, and then postponing our 2nd date, 3 venue changes and a new city, we are saying I DO. Thank you for sticking with us through the craziness and supporting each decision we made. We can't wait to say I do and celebrate with those we love the most on 2 * 11 = 22
