From their very first date at The Board Room in Arlington, VA, Claire and Andrew’s instant connection has blossomed into a beautiful relationship. The couple has spent their years together traveling around the world, hosting friends and family at their home, and enjoying live music. Andrew proposed to Claire after her grandmother's 100th birthday celebration in the Fall of 2024.


The newlyweds recently tied the knot at the historic Perry Belmont House in Washington, D.C. on May 16th, 2026. The evening’s elegant black and white color palette, complemented by romantic blush florals, was highlighted throughout the venue, table settings, and signage. A ceremony chair was reserved alongside a beautiful memorial to honor Claire's mother. In lieu of a classic Champagne tower, the couple opted to highlight Claire’s love of Diet Coke with a tower display during cocktail hour. Claire has always had a passion for creating, which led her to design and sew her reception dress. The newlyweds honored their dog and two cats by naming the signature cocktails after them, creating 3D printed dog and cat place card holders, and ordering large printouts of their faces to enhance the dance floor experience. Claire and Andrew celebrated alongside many of their friends and family, and their joyous wedding weekend concluded with the newlyweds flying off to Greece for their honeymoon.
