C.J. and Remy met at The University of Nebraska of all places! C.J. is a Texas boy and Remy is a California girl, so it's funny they met in a state in which they both hadn't heard! C.J. was on a gymnastics scholarship while studying art and business. Remy was on a golf scholarship while studying fashion and textiles. They met in a communications class together during sophomore year, which was ironic because neither of them had the courage to communicate with one another during freshman year! The class was separated into small groups for the semester and C.J. and Remy were conveniently put into the same, small group. This was C.J.'s chance! C.J. thought about what to say to Remy everyday they walked into class, but couldn't come up with anything. He followed her out of class one day, decided to hold the door open for her, and hoped she would turn around to notice him. She did, of course, and replied with a simple, "thank you so much." For some reason C.J. pretty much thought she said, "I love you," and was ready to start talking. The rest is pretty much history!

C.J. and Remy started seeing one another in February of 2012 and, here they are, days away from getting married. A couple of months later, Remy decided she wanted to pursue her fashion career back home in Los Angeles. C.J. was determined to make their relationship work and asked her if she would continue to date long distance. She happily agreed and they did their best to travel back and forth to see one another almost every six weeks. It was a long two years, but it's true what they say, "absence makes the heart grow fonder." They used their communication skills they learned in their first class together (finally!) and made their relationship work in every way they could. C.J. moved to California to be with Remy right after school and well, a couple years later, proposed to the woman of his dreams.

They now live in wonderful Austin, Texas with their handsome golden retriever Stetson!

On September 7th 2016, C.J. purchased a diamond ring which he had personally designed with a jeweler. The very next day, he had planned to meet Remy's father Doug Molyneux at his favorite pub for a pint where he would ask for Remy's hand in marriage. C.J. walked into the pub ready to ask Doug for his blessing, but it wasn't going to be as easy as he thought. Doug knows everyone in this pub. So, as the first hour went by, a couple of friends walked in and sat down for 15 or 20 min and talked to Doug and C.J. Every time C.J. was ready to ask Doug his important question, someone else would walk in. C.J. was getting nervous now as he just wanted to get it over with! Doug's friends left and C.J. knew it was now or never. He straightened up in his seat and was so nervous he knocked his beer and it spilled all over the table! It goes without saying, with no hesitation at all, Doug happily gave C.J. his blessing and the two spent the rest of the evening celebrating and discussing plans for the proposal.

C.J. had planned to join Remy for her 25th birthday celebration trip to Cancun, Mexico along with her sister Jenna, and their good friends Brittany and Max. The girls arrived on November 22nd, while C.J. and Max would arrive at the resort the following morning. C.J. had arranged for the girls to have massages during the morning of his arrival, so that they would not see what he and Max were up to until the moment was right.

While Remy and the girls were being treated in the spa, C.J. went down to the beach, raked a heart in the sand, and covered it in rose petals. The clouds cleared from the sky as Remy came down to the beach to meet C.J., not anticipating the biggest surprise that lay ahead. The girls walked down the stairs onto the beach and were so excited that everyone was there to party for the next couple of days! Remy noticed the heart and obliviously asked what it was. C.J walked Remy into the heart, took her by the hands, and looked her straight in the eyes. He told her he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, and show her how much he loved her. He was ready to start a life with her and continue their adventures together. He knelt down on the pure white sand, presented her with a beautiful engagement ring, and asked her to marry him.

SHE SAID YES!
