Claire:

We were on a zoom call for PAID officer interviews during quarantine season 1, when Jake walked out of his room and Dalton walked in. I immediately texted Jake "Who is your roommate he's so cute??"

Dalton:

I must look better online than in person. We start running in the same friend group and occasionally hang out altogether. Graduation came and I had only seen her one time after that.

Claire:

We both end up in Houston a few years after college and Jake reconnected us. I invited Dalton out with a few friends not expecting much from it, but things took off pretty quick after that.

Dalton:

We were becoming inseparable and found any excuse to be with one another. I was falling for this girl in every way and I knew that she was going to be my wife one day.

Claire:

I'll admit I was reluctant at first but I eventually fell hard for him. We became best friends and had so much fun together; traveled, 'stros games, concerts, danced, pickleball... but I knew he was the one when he found Jesus and lead us to find our church.

Dalton:

I knew I wanted her and all she is. We were only dating a year before I proposed. I don't think I have a "I knew I loved her" moment; I think I have loved her from the beginning.
