How we met

We met the old fashioned way—on the Bumble app!

Celeste was out of town working for 6 weeks, so texts quickly turned into nightly 4 hour phone calls, which led to writing each other love songs, which led to “I love you’s” before we ever met! (You can imagine the pressure on our first date).

Luckily, we were both thrilled when the front door opened. By the end of our first dinner, there was a strong sense that this was going to be important in both of our lives.

After talking to Celeste for 6 weeks, and basically falling in love with her from afar, all I could think when she answered the door was “Thank God she’s as beautiful in person as I’d hoped she’d be”. That was the start of an amazing night, and life together.

The Proposal

Greg planned an incredible trip to St. Lucia where Celeste and Greg stayed at the stunning Jade Mountain, did Celeste’s first scuba dives, snorkeled, sailed, biked through the jungle, made chocolate from local cacao, swam in turquoise waters, and sun bathed.

One night they took a small boat and landed on a private beach. There were tiki torches set up and Celeste could see a table set with tropical flowers in the distance. They were met with champagne on the beach and guided to the table.

Greg had rented the entire beach and hired a private chef to cook them an amazing meal. Half way through the dinner he suggested they take a walk and got down on one knee and proposed! Celeste was very emotional as she said YES!

Greg sang Celeste the song he wrote for her, “Marry Me”, which is now her favorite song in the world. As the sun went down, the tiki torches and bonfire were lit, and they spent the night singing next to the fire, enjoying their beach, and talking about their future.

It was a perfect night, perfect proposal, and the perfect start to their life together.

I never thought I could be as happy as Greg makes me. He is an answer to all of my prayers, and the greatest gift I’ve ever known. He is my Prince.
