We were both Jr. High Camp Counselors up at Hume Lake the summer of 2017. In the dining hall, after a long day of fun recreation, I (Claire) was dared by my campers during a game to go up and ask Rory to ballroom dance with me around the room. I was dressed as a monk. Rory said yes. And since we were both tall, our campers decided that we were bound to get married. So here we are.
Rory and I were planning on spending Thanksgiving with our own families due to our schedules. I was in Minden, Nevada with my mother's side of the family and Rory was supposed to be in Thousand Oaks. My dad asked me if I wanted to go check out some property for his business, and I obliged. He drove me unsuspectingly to Lake Tahoe, where he stalled and stopped at the side of the lake to look around and take some pictures. Much to my complete surprise, Rory was there, on one knee, with a ring. Easiest yes of my life.
If for some reason you are in Thousand Oaks and can’t make it to Fresno on the 4th. Or if you are in Fresno and don’t have New Year’s Eve plans, then you’re in luck! We are hosting a New Year’s Eve party this December 31st at 8pm at Rory’s parents house and we would love for you to come out! Text Rory for details!
