Dean and Caelynn have been a couple ever since first falling in love on “Bachelor in Paradise” in 2019. Some fans thought they’d never get married, but in October 2022, Dean popped the question while the two hiked in Hawaii. The emotional proposal took place on the 16th anniversary of his mother’s death.
Three months later, the couple’s engagement party was planned by Runaway Indie. Photos shared on Instagram showed the party decor, which included a drink tap wall and a romantic dinner table adorned with white roses. Dean and Caelynn’s initials were also incorporated into the party décor, including hurricane candles with the letters C + D engraved on them.
There was also a photo booth where guests hammed it up, as well as an elegant champagne glass tower. Dean wore a tan suit for the party, while his bride-to-be was dressed in a white cropped blouse and flowing maxi skirt. During the party, the lovebirds were photographed walking by an outdoor pool area carrying an umbrella.
Caelynn told People that the casual engagement party spread included sliders, a large charcuterie selection, and “comfort food” such as tomato soup and grilled cheese.
