Reception

Our Wedding

Nick and Clara first met online through a dating app while Clara was visiting the island in early 2021. After plenty of healthy conversation via text, Nick pretty much blew it and never even asked Clara out on a date. Almost exactly 1 year later, they re-matched through the same service, in the same place. Without hesitation, Nick begged for Clara's forgiveness and asked to put a date on the books. She accepted, hesitantly, but he must've impressed her because she agreed to a second date the next night. For about the 1st year, Clara frequented the island for family visits and weekend dates while Nick commuted to the mainland on his weekends as often as possible. In April of 2023 they decided to move in together on the mainland, but still continued to make frequent trips back to San Juan and Shaw Island. On the morning of New Year's Day 2024, Nick proposed to Clara at their house. Below is a photo timeline of some of their favorite moments leading up to that day. After the wedding they plan to move back to the islands and start a family.

You'll notice we don't have a ceremony on our schedule! Rather then making you sit through our I Do's on a hot summer day we had an extremely intimate ceremony in Umbria, Italy on May 25th, 2025. Instead, we simply want to celebrate our love with the people we love the most: YOU ALL! Pictures of our magical day and week in Italy with our family will be all around for everyone to see and enjoy.
