A little about Claire & Tammy.... How did you meet? Tammy : I actually crashed her birthday party! I was asked by my buddy on a random day to attend his colleague’s birthday party. There, i first met Claire, just shook her hand and wished her happy birthday. I didn’t talk much though the rest of the party. Claire : I barely remember he was there at all! Tammy: A few months later we met through our mutual friend for a jamming session, I play guitar and she’s the vocal. Claire: Since then, we met up every weekend to jam and slowly he asked me out for date! How long have you been together? 6 Years Tell us about the proposal It was next to a river down in Clarke Quay, Singapore. Yes it was a surprise proposal! We went for dinner at a nice restaurant near the quay before that.
