Celeste and Brendan met as youths, dancing at the same Irish dance school when they were 6. They were Ceili partners together at 8 years old and formed a quick friendship. Years later as Celeste moved away out of state and out of the country, they lost touch. Fast forward to Celeste moving back to Milwaukee in her early 20's and randomly bumping into Brendan at Irish Fest, much to both of their surprise. They reconnected but it took them a couple years to actually see each other again, when Brendan decided he wanted to join the same Irish Dance Company that Celeste was performing in. After quickly rekindling their friendship, Brendan wanted to date her but Celeste was a tad apprehensive. Their first date (Celeste doesn't consider it a date but Brendan does) was kayaking downtown on a nice Summer day. A cheesy pickup line and some terrible kayaking done by Brendan made Celeste very unsure of any type of dating. While Celeste didn't want to ruin the friendship, Brendan pursued her until she agreed to go on a "real" date to her favorite Korean restaurant in town. After their date, Celeste quickly realized she was very mistaken, and a couple more dates and a night out at Don's Diner made them both realize this was no simple dating relationship, but definitely something more. After that, the rest is basically history!
