“ She’s such a rule follower”
— Kat
“She paddle bumps me even when I do something silly”
— Claire
Months before meeting, a mutual friend Caroline had been trying to connect Kat and Claire. She would tell Kat “You should meet Claire she’s kind of Gay,” and she would tell Claire “You should meet Kat, she’s really Gay." Kat had never met a Claire she particularly enjoyed, so she respectfully declined. After months of dodging Claire at organized happy hours and Pickleball open plays, Kat's friend Liz reached out to Claire to attend the first Queer NYC Pickleball Open Play. Kat knew the time had come that she would HAVE to meet Claire. Alas Kat had finally met a Claire that she instantly enjoyed and unbeknownst to her would be her future wife. Fastforward

We’d bet our bottom dollar that we’ve both accumulated wrinkles as a result of such happiness. We feel so much gratitude to all our friends and family that have propelled our love forward by supporting our decisions (especially the one where Kat whispers “one more dog”).
