Claire and Bryce's love story began back in high school when they crossed paths in their English class during their sophomore year. Although they didn't spend much time together at first, their connection blossomed after they both graduated. Claire headed off to Cal Poly Pomona for college while Bryce ventured to Baylor University in Texas.

Despite the distance, their friendship grew into something more, and they officially started dating on January 2nd, 2021. They cherished their first eight months together in California until Bryce had to return to Texas for in-person schooling. The following three years were filled with long-distance challenges, with Bryce making trips home during breaks to be with Claire.

Their relationship endured the distance, and as they continued to grow in their faith together, they found strength and perseverance in God's guidance. After Claire graduated in 2023, Bryce decided to make their love official by proposing to her during the summer before she embarked on her journey to dental school at A.T. Still University in Arizona.

Despite the miles separating them, their love only grew stronger through countless FaceTime calls and heartfelt letters exchanged by mail. Now, as they eagerly anticipate their wedding day, they're ready to leave behind the bittersweet goodbyes at the airport.

Their love story, nurtured not only by their bond but also by God's grace, proves that distance is no match for true love. Bryce is set to graduate in May and will soon join Claire in Arizona after their wedding to begin his accounting job at Haga Kommer pursuing a career in finance. They look forward to building their future together, knowing that their faith and love will continue to guide them every step of the way.
