Our Love Story

We met in high school and had a couple of dates, but we were not ready for a relationship. We reconnected on U of A campus last fall and it was definitely God's timing!

The Proposal

After what Celeste supposed to be a "typical dinner date", Daniel suggested a walk on U of A campus. It was the 4 month anniversary of our meeting again on campus, and Daniel got down on one knee under the very tree where we had met again and asked Celeste to be his wife. He gave Celeste the engagement ring that his grandfather had given to his grandmother.
