It all started by simply swiping. Claire noticed a picture of Mitch in a yellow beanie, eyes closed, with a huge cheesy smile, standing on a mountain top. She was immediately interested and decided to swipe and send the message. Mitch hearted the photo of Claire hiking in the mountains of Colorado. It was the perfect match, all thanks to Hinge!
The two then decided to meet up one super snowy night in December of 2021 at LynLake Brewery in Uptown, Minneapolis. Both were excited about the conversations and similarities they had including their love for outdoor adventures, their careers as nurses, and their lives as one of many siblings. After the date, Claire walked the two blocks home alone to her apartment... but don't worry, their first phone call was two minutes later when Mitch called apologizing he totally forgot to walk her home!
Only three weeks later, Claire called Mitch while home for Christmas at her parent's house in Colorado. The snow was amazing for the time of year, and half joking, she told Mitch he should fly out to ski with her. A couple hours later Mitch was booking a flight to CO to ski with Claire the next day and stay at the home she grew up in... Meaning he would meet the whole family of course!
Many weekends spent at the Enos family cabin and trips to Colorado to see the Noser family later... Claire moved in with Mitch (and Miles). July 2025 came around and Mitch popped the big question to Claire on a hike in the mountains of Grandby, Colorado. Claire's family was waiting afterwards behind the bushes at the trailhead for an added surprise.
Now to the wedding planning part... Claire and Mitch aren't the greatest planners and wanted to make the process more fun and focused on the celebration with all of their favorite people. They landed on planning a group vacation to Mexico! Why Mexico you may ask...? Mexico gives them the perfect opportunity of more than one night with all of their closest friends and family as those special to them come from all over the country (guests from 14 different states to be exact). These longer conversations and quality time spent with guests, is what excites the couple most about their wedding celebration!
Mitch and Claire realize attending their wedding in Mexico is a big commitment. Your presence for this celebration means so much to them. Being a part of the big day is the greatest wedding gift they could ask for!
This is an adult only event, so the couple asks you to please leave your kids at home for the celebration.
