Jonathan & Celeste met early in 2016 & officially started dating March 7th. Their first date was at Celeste's first job - the movie theater - and saw the VVitch. Which Jonathan spent most of the movie teasing Celeste over jumping at everything. They would see hundreds of movies together after this one during the first few years of their relationship and became one of their most common dates. As well as aquarium & zoo dates, as Celeste loves any & all of the animals.
Jonathan & Celeste got their first pets together in 2018 on accident. Jonathan's grandmother brought home 3 baby kittens & they had fallen in love with 2 of them - now 6-year-old cats they named Bean & Luci. A few months after getting the cats, Jonathan & Celeste had their Christmas on December 13th - which is when Jonathan proposed. He knew she didn't want something big & fancy such as a public proposal, as she would have gotten anxious over everyone staring at them. And he knew she wanted something special for a ring, something as unique as her - so she received a gorgeous rainbow moonstone ring. Which she loved & said "yes".
They wanted to wait until they had their own place before getting married & bought their first house together in July of 2022. They also added to their pets; 4 adorable rats they lovingly call the "Rat Rang" (which all unfortunately passed in 2023) & a little menace of an orange cat they've named Lil Sir (who is everything but little, weighing 14 pounds before he was even a year old).
They have since added additional pets to their family.
