Claire and Brad met at the University of Minnesota Duluth in 2016 through a campus ministry. Claire, for a short time, had eyes for Brad, though he would be obvious until a year later.

In the fall of 2017, Claire and Brad sought one another out and in the spring of 2018, began dating on their mission trip to Chicago.

Over the next few years, Claire and Brad experienced long distance dating between periods of Brad working as a cook at Sandy Point, Claire studying in London, and eventually going to graduate school at Bemidji State University.

In the summer of 2021, Brad took Claire to Park Point where he proposed. They celebrated with their close friends and called many that night in joy of their decision. Now, several months later, they look forward to their wedding coming this October.
