Celia & Justin met on the SUNY Geneseo Crew team. 5am rows on the lake were not the best time to get acquainted, and they formally met a year later at a party when Justin's wooed Celia with his clever card tricks. Soon they began looking for each other when the team met for those early morning practices. They began dating a short time later. Such an iconic couple they were that the team elected them President and Vice-President of the club later that year. After Justin graduated in 2017 they adapted to a long-distance relationship. However, that didn't stop them from memorable trips to Lake Placid, Niagara Falls, Miami, and more. In 2020 they moved into their first apartment together in Canandaigua, NY, where they love kayaking on the lake, cross-country skiing, and visiting local breweries. They started 2021 by welcoming a rowdy Borador puppy named Soba to their family.

Justin proposed to Celia at the lake where they rowed together in college. After all, were it not for these sunrise workouts they may never have met. Somehow Celia did not think anything amiss when Justin broke out in nervous hives on the way to the lake. Justin planned to ask someone at the lake's park take a picture of the proposal, but the park was empty. So, he improvised by propping his phone up against his shoe to take the picture, which worked out better than anyone could've hoped. Thankfully, Celia said yes!
