Our Wedding

Celestin and Jesse's journey began in childhood when they first met at the Fallingbrook Falls in the summer of 2003. Surrounded by friends, they shared their first kiss and experienced an early romance. While they went their separate ways, they remained friends, intermittently crossing paths over the years. They even rekindled their romance a few times, but the timing was never right. However, at the age of 26, after years of silence, they reconnected by chance. This time, fate insisted on taking its course, and they've been inseparable ever since. Once living in Canada's Northern Alberta for several years, they are embarking on their next adventure together in Charlotte, North Carolina. Still, Ottawa, ON holds a special place in their hearts as home, so they invite you to join them there to celebrate their love in the place where it all began.
