Welcome to the Bruin Bachelor(ette), a dating show hosted by Podcasts contributors Fonda Hu, Alexa Miramontes and Zoe Vilchez. We wanted to investigate the dating scene at UCLA, and what better way to do that than to host our own dating show?
SHOW TRANSCRIPT
“Ultimately, love conquers all,” Claire Bokal told Newsy.
In 2019, Claire Bokal and her high school sweetheart of nearly a decade were ready to tie the knot. They set a date, May 2020.
“I just remember no one was flying. No one was leaving their house. That was when we decided we had to move, you know postpone this huge wedding that we had invited 300 people to,” said Bokal.
The couple decided to have two weddings, something small immediately and a bigger bash later. I wore a fun white dress. My mom picked flowers from her garden. And it was only our immediate family. We ate outside six feet away. We had a cake that our neighbors bought for us,” recalled Bokal.
