Our Wedding

Joe and Clare met at Joe's sister Beth's 30th birthday party, which was celebrated on a party bus. Throughout the night, all of Joe’s brothers were very eager for the two of them to meet. Eventually, at the last bar, Beth's boyfriend Craig twirled Clare into Joe in the middle of the dance floor, and the rest is history. Later that week, Joe called Clare to ask her out on a date. During dinner, Clare talked the entire time, which, if you know Clare, is no surprise. With each subsequent date, Clare allowed Joe to speak a little more until she got to know him! They hit it off with each other's families, realizing they had to get married; otherwise, their siblings, nieces, and nephews would be upset if they ever broke up. On the day of the proposal, Joe left work early, feeling anxious about how to propose. He met Clare at her workplace, the church where they were going to do their Marian Consecration. Joe had initially planned to propose at the Lourdes Grotto beside Saint Remy Church, but he noticed a lot of caution tape in the area, which made him think he might have to adjust his idea. As they walked towards the grotto, it started to rain, causing another moment of panic as he worried that his whole plan would be ruined. However, he was relieved to see that the steps to the grotto were not blocked off. They stood in the rain, under an umbrella, and did their Marian Consecration. Afterwards, Joe asked Clare about the new lights they had installed. As she was pointing them out, he got down on one knee. Clare could not believe it; with a book in hand and her hands covering her face, she was shocked but excited to start her life with her future husband.
