We’re getting married!

Our story began long before we even realized it. We were both born and raised in Tacoma, Washington, and first crossed paths in high school. Jordan was two years ahead of Claire, so while we didn’t know each other well, there was always a quiet familiarity between us—passing in the hallways, exchanging smiles, or during those random moments when Jordan’s class would walk into Claire’s cooking class at Stadium High School to grab laptops. We always noticed each other, but life had other plans back then. It wasn’t until 2018, during Claire’s freshman year at Washington State University, that things truly started to fall into place. We reconnected in Pullman, and after our first date at the 2018 Apple Cup football game (go cougs), something just clicked. It felt easy, natural—like we were exactly where we were meant to be. From that moment on, we knew this was the beginning of our forever.
