We met the old-fashioned way, on Facebook Dating, in the summer of 2025. Our first date took us to Folsom on what turned out to be a 104-degree day, so we quickly traded our planned walk for a cool restaurant and plates of pasta. Then on November 5th, while Esther was surprising Caellan with a dome tent on Lake Combie, Caellan had a surprise of his own. It was raining hard, so pizza was on the menu. Before diving in, Caellan tapped Esther on the shoulder, got down on one knee, and asked for her hand in marriage. We got married on March 8th at Gold Country Church and are so excited to celebrate on August 30th!
