On a chilly Fall evening, Claire was sitting around a fire at her house with friends, and Brandon was surrounded by his friends at a coworker's wedding. Brandon had carpooled to the wedding with his friend, Dakota (who happened to be Claire's next door neighbor). As Claire's friends were starting to leave her house, Dakota and Brandon pulled up. When they saw Claire outside, they decided to go over and sit around the fire. Claire hadn't owned her house for long, and loved to show others every little thing she did (okay, let's be real - her dad did) to improve her home. Before you knew it, she was giving Brandon a tour of her most prized possession. Brandon left that night, but soon was asking Dakota if Claire was single. Brandon began talking to Claire, and tried to convince her to go on a date. For a while, every time Brandon would suggest doing something, Claire would say, "let me see what my friends are up to that day." Finally, Brandon asked Claire to come over and watch a movie. Claire agreed, but chickened out and bailed. For some reason, Brandon still saw hope. A week later, Claire and Brandon went on their first official, only them two date, at Rotary Lights. Claire threw Brandon a birthday party that winter, and the next day, Brandon asked her to be his girlfriend. Spoiler alert - she said yes! About a week into dating, while at Brandon's apartment, Claire was hungry and opened the freezer. In the freezer, she found her favorite ice cream. She thought this was odd. She opened his pantry and found all of her favorite snacks. She decided to ask Brandon about it. All of her favorite snacks were there because Brandon had went to the store and stocked up a few weeks prior when he had asked Claire to come watch a movie and she bailed. She will never live that one down! As the story goes on, there are so many things that happen - from life successes, to life struggles, the two have been through a lot together. With that being said, there is always one thing that remains true to them - they love each other - on all the good days, and the bad ones too - and they are each others' number one fan, supporter, and cheerleader. Cheers to Brandon and Claire!
