Our Wedding

It was Friday the 13th in September, the kind of night that buzzes with music and possibility. Claire had gone out with friends to the Heights Music Hop, weaving through the lively streets from one stage to the next. She ducked into Parnell’s, a cozy Irish pub glowing with warmth, where a folk duo was playing. One of the musicians was Patrick, completely at home with his guitar and the rhythm of the room. Claire didn’t stay long—an errand pulled her away—but in those few minutes, something about her caught Patrick’s attention. As soon as his set ended, he turned to his father and asked, “Where did the girl with red hair go?” A little while later, fate gave him the answer. Claire returned to Parnell’s, and before she could even find her friends again, Patrick’s father spotted her. With a smile and a spark of excitement, he asked, “Were you here earlier?” When Claire nodded, he lit up. “You must be the girl my son noticed.” And just like that, introductions were made. Claire met Patrick, Patrick met Claire, and from that night on, the story was no longer about chance encounters at pubs or errands pulling them away—it was about the beginning of something real. The rest, as they say, was history.
