We’re so excited to celebrate with you!

Joe & Claire met Claire’s sophomore year and Joe’s junior year at Purdue University. They both joined a business fraternity and met for the first time at a social event. They remained friends for the next 3 years before their first kiss on St. Patrick’s Day. Even though Joe spent that summer in California while Claire spent the summer in Indianapolis, they quickly fell in love with each other. They spent the next semester together at Purdue, right before Joe graduated from grad school and chose to take his first job in Chicago! Following two graduations, Joe and Claire were working and living in Chicago. In February of 2020 Joe took Claire for his favorite winter activity- ice skating. However, he surprised her with a proposal on the ice and a celebration with family and friends after. Since then they’ve bought a condo together in Logan Square and are so excited to finally tie the knot!
