We have a HUGE Announcement!!!

[@mariewiik]

Lancelot and I are very happy for you both!!!

[@lisamcbarron6047]

So glad you are back at the Chateau Marie!!! And good thing you took that time for that culinary course/immersion....you have many things coming up that people do before an actual wedding day...so you are totally prepared for whatever is on the horizon - of that we have NO doubt.!!

[@MaryEllen_of_OBX]

@mariewiik Is this the first you have heard of their engagement?

[@Liamfenton]

I assume Lancelot to be the ring doggy at the wedding

[@karinbergman1646]

[@PatKnecht]

I think you two are truly meant for each other!

[@judyrichardson8912]

I remember the day you actually met Philip. It was during a cadeaux at the chateau. I remember you invited him to come sit down with everyone who was out on the veranda. Little did you know, that would be your future husband. May God bless you both.

[@bluemoon1033]

Yes - and didn’t Stephanie ask him to lower his mask so she could see his face?

[@vsee2207]

I would love to see that one!

[@elizabethsaffioti1432]

Yes, and when Philip took off his mask, someone said he looked like one of the Musketeers. Right?

[@bluemoon1033]

@@elizabethsaffioti1432 I think so!

[@marykayosburn3446]

Wonderful news!

[@gilbert3848]

The best moment was when your mum held her champagne glass at the restaurant to express how and why Philip loves you. What a wonderful feeling. All the best to you and Philip.

[@WillowPiffle]

Agreed! 💗

[@mycheflynn1]

How appropriately lovely, a perfect engagement venue I am delighted for all of you and especially the two of you S and P or Salt and Pepper you two decide who is which! Salt Cellar and Pepper Mill shaped and decorated Grooms Cake or as petit four ….May The Lord God bless you and keep you One to the Other bound in Promise at this time and throughout all that comes the way of those who chose Love and to Marry for Love. Hallelujah! LynnAnneZwadloRehn LAZR-->

[@michalynnlong-baxter5434]

I'm so behind! Omg.....I remember the first day Phillip arrived at the chateau and you were re- upoholstering the sofa in Nati's office area and I saw him look at you.....and bam! I said to my husband. "Those two are gonna end up together!" So so incredibly happy for the two of you. Wish I was there to hug you both!!!! Big love guys!

[@shammy0007]

I’d like to watch that episode…any idea the month/year that was?

[@mirandalumley3016]

Congratulations to you both. Such happy news. My husband and I saw you both in Venice. You weren’t filming you were striding along eating and I didn’t want to bother you. I cannot believe how beautiful that city is, takes your breath away at every turn. Much love and happiness to you both.

[@jomeyer13]

must have been romantic... wonder why he didnt propose there would have been perfect place... my thoughts

[@marinaanais]

@jomeyer13 Venice is romantic, yes, but the chapel has extra-special meaning. I think Philip made the perfect choice. And he looked so nervous and shy! ❤️

[@rpierce7004]

Dear Mommy and Percy. It is so nice to see you both again. Percy your blue eyes are shining like I have never seen or noticed prior. I’m so happy to hear you are on the end of the mend. 😊

[@ichaconf]

I am also very happy and impressed with how good Percy looks. I am very glad that the treatment is working.

[@barbaralamoreaux328]

Stephanie, it’s being in your mother’s home that makes it feel so relaxing. It doesn’t matter how old you are, being in your mom’s house is love.❤️

[@johanrahan3189]

[@zeenkosis]

[@margohughes2167]

I’m so happy for you both. This is my first time commenting although I have been watching since the beginning, I felt I needed to comment and say how happy I am for you both, (MAY THE ROOF OF YOUR HOUSE NEVER FALL IN AND YOU TOO NEVER FALL OUT). An old Irish saying.🍀 sending you a four leaf clover for luck from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@kindlydude]

My father was Irish too! The symbolism of the Claddagh ring has always charmed and attracted me. And I LOVE how Gerry gave his blessing to Phillip & Stephanie by reminding them of the true symbolism of a wedding ring ...that there was no beginning ...or ending to TRUE LOVE!!! 💍❣💗💞💖 God Bless Gerry for reminding us ALL about what real commitment entails... and the promise of Eternal Love that with God's Blessing elevates human love to the Divine!!

[@gillyjohnston]

Wishing you both every happiness as you travel the Chateau road together . ❤🎉❤️ Come to Sligo ,West Cork and Dublin for your honeymoon and I shall happily be your guide as you have brought me great happiness and wonderful entertainment!!XxGillian

[@allisonriggen5976]

I always imagined Philip proposing with a brooch. 😅

[@rpierce7004]

Congratulations Phillip & Stephanie! Stephanie the last few videos I have thought to myself that you have looked radiant and happy, and now I know why. What a special engagement story. Good job Phillip is your choice of location to pop the question. I’m hoping that your wedding will be the first once the renovations are complete. I certainly would be fitting and very romantic. Congrats to you both ❤

[@agardenut]

I’m so happy for you both! I want to tell everyone around me, as if you are personal friends! I love you all so much!

Isn’t this just the best!? Ditto for me, too!

[@marshawargo7238]

I imagine everyone who watches this channel feels the same! Stephanie makes everyone she meets or associates with, feel like she's a friend! It's a rare thing to be able to make people feel that way, I've met very few with this ability. OMG I have tears! ❤ (I think the Chapel restorers are wondering why They weren't first to know, being how close they are now)😊

[@judithharrison7427]

I’m so happy for you both congratulations xxxx❤❤

[@laurensauppee7558]

So lovely - Congratulations!!❤

[@sandrawarmbreath2013]

I am extremely thrilled for you both & surprised too as I thought you just wouldn't ever marry. But it's become clear over the the last 2 years and ever more recently too that your interests in life are so similar & that you have come to trust Philip's judgement in everything plus his trust in you & that your lives have become more & more intertwined & interdependent such that marriage is just now logical since that's the choice you've made. Of course, love & a lifetime commitment are much more than logic and you two have it in abundance. I couldn't be more happy for you both ❤. Many will think of the age difference but Philip knows exactly how you will age as he has Mummy as your older surrogate so it's an eyes wide open thing. That he loved you deeply was written all over his face that day long ago now that he carried you in his arms to the car for the trip to the hospital when you were ill and then there was the wonderful & caring recovery vacation afterwards. That's when I knew. I'm old, married twice, once to a younger guy but he didn't care a fig about China or fine fabrics so he had to go! Of course your ring would be a family keepsake, that's Philip! Then you agreed to a pup, what an evolution! You two will be very happy, even with stuffed animals on the hearh😂. GSincere congratulations, I am thrilled! Chapel Wedding under new gold stars, I hope, or whatever you choose ❤ Hurray 🎉🎉 ❤

[@Wentworth1]

My dear friend barbara who introduced me to you and your channel Has been graduated to heaven to be with her husband I would give anything to be able to tell her about this wonderful announcement you've made she would be so excited.

Firstly, many congratulations to you and Philip. I have followed The Chateau Diaries from the very beginning and it has been an absolute privilege and joy to be part of your engagement. Also it was comforting to see both Mummy and Percy looking so incredibly happy and well. Finally, the singing during the walk to and from the beach (Granny's pool) had me in stitches, well done Gerald, don't ever change.

[@colleenhanley7671]

Over the last few years of watching the chateau diaries I feel a lot of past life connections coming back to the chateau. The visitors, the volunteers, the people who made it their home. We are all connected, we all get a second chance to be with our soul mates. We all come back to each other.

@kindlydude Since you have zero idea what any of them are thinking or feeling, your comment about the "little green monster of envy" is insulting. And then you wish them well? After you've plunged the dagger in their backs?

@kindlydude Also, many people are not wanting to have children. And bring them into this violent , hate-filled world? They are both 40 and have a happy life together, just the two of them. And Mollie. The cult of mandatory parenthood is insidious.

[@epicsong2856]

I remember so clearly the moment Philip arrived at the chateau, Stephanie. You were filming Cadeaux on the terrace of your castle and Kat brings over this dashing prince, dressed in all white linen like a hero from a romance novel. You immediately wanted to see his face so he dropped his mask and I thought "oh my, now there is a gift!" So fitting of a moment. I immediately knew you would like him because in watching your diaries from the beginning, there are only two things on which we disagree (one being whiskey!). It has been wonderful to see how you and all that surround you two have blossomed since. What a joyous time and what a relief to see Percy and mummy looking so vibrant as well! Now all I want is to hear Isobel say your celebrity couple name in her charming accent. I can hear it already, "Philanie."
