To Our Dearest Family and Friends, We know that the future is uncertain regarding COVID-19, and having a large gathering with guests traveling from different areas is too much of a risk to our loved ones. We plan to be married in an intimate marriage ceremony this year on December 12th with our immediate family and our bridal party. We will provide a link that you may attend virtually. It is only out of careful thought and concern for the health and safety of our closest friends and family that we made this difficult decision. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you. With Love, Celeste and Stanford

Celeste and Stanford's first encounter was at Artesia High School in the summer of 2005. Celeste's first impression of Stanford was handsome; however, felt he was conceited and a jerk. Stanford's first impression of Celeste, on the other hand, was friendly and cute. They parted ways after the first meeting but reconnected a year later. This is when their friendship began to take shape and flourish. Their first date was at East West Ice Palace, where they both learned how to skate on ice. On February 2nd, 2007, Stanford asked Celeste to be his girlfriend at Parker's Light House in Long Beach. Throughout their relationship, they have faced many challenges but continued to grow stronger and deeper in love. Twelve years later, Stanford proposed to Celeste on February 2nd, 2019 at Point Bonita Lighthouse to resonate where their journey began and to start a new chapter in their lives.
