Our Love Story
Vince and Claire's love story is one that truly shows how fate and destiny work hand in hand. It all began in 2011 when they crossed paths at WMSU. Little did they know that their meeting would change their lives forever. Vince's dad and Claire's mom were the ones who unknowingly brought them together by choosing their schedules for PE class, making them classmates. It was a simple coincidence, but it turned out to be the start of something beautiful. But looking back, they both believed that it was God's plan all along.
Vince was immediately drawn to Claire's simplicity and beauty. He couldn't help but notice her in her plain white t-shirt and red jogging pants. He knew he had to get to know her more. And so, he pursued her for months until, finally, on January 13, 2013, they became an official couple.
But like any other relationship, Vince and Claire faced their fair share of challenges, but they never let it come between them. They supported each other's dreams and aspirations, knowing that their love was stronger than any obstacle.
After 11 years of being together, Vince knew that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Claire. On May 13, 2023, he finally proposed to her at L Arcada. It was a simple and intimate moment, with no cameras or grand gestures, but for Claire, it was a magical moment that she will cherish forever. With the blessings of their parents, they are now ready to start a new chapter in their lives. Sure, they don't know what lies ahead, but they know they have each other and God.
