Lancelot and I are very happy for you both!!!
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.!!
@mariewiik Is this the first you have heard of their engagement?
I assume Lancelot to be the ring doggy at the wedding
Looks like Lancelot will indeed get to be a ringbearer 😄
I saw if coming... Philips face when they went into the Chapel just radiated love and Stephanie looked more beautiful these past couple of episodes than ever! Be happy always you two. You are so well suited.
Yes... the way Phillip looks at Steph, can't fake that.
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.
must have been romantic... wonder why he didnt propose there would have been perfect place... my thoughts
@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! ❤️
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.
Yes - and didn’t Stephanie ask him to lower his mask so she could see his face?
I would love to see that one!
Yes, and when Philip took off his mask, someone said he looked like one of the Musketeers. Right?
@@elizabethsaffioti1432 I think so!
Wonderful news!
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.
Agreed! 💗
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-->
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 🇮🇪
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!!
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
Percy you really look great. Im so happy you are feeling better. 🦋
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.❤️
I was just thinking the same
Yesss❤
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!
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)😊
I’m so happy for you both congratulations xxxx❤❤
So lovely - Congratulations!!❤
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 🎉🎉 ❤
This is so crazy! I remember vividly the chapter when philip arrives to the chateau and say hi to stephanie for the first time!! Congratulations guys 😻😻😻😻😻
What episode is that?
I never saw his arrival. I’d like to know the episode too.
I vividly remember it too. I especially remember when Stephanie, Davy and Philip were searching for the towers and Stephanie's camera panning up and down Philip, getting a good 'ol look...I knew then , that things were going to get hot and bothered! Teeheehee!🤣 Congratulations!... Thank you as always Love from Bindi, from Oz.🥳💥👩❤️👨💋❤️🐝🐝🌻🌼☀️
@@tooem56 don’t remember ☹️
Can't believe that was 3 years ago. Congratulations dear Stephanie and Philip! ❤
Congratulations to you both! Everyone looks so healthy and radiant. A special shout out thank-you to Michael Potts, who was so helpful with my adopted stars.
When you find love, seize it and hold on to it. Tomorrow isn't certain. Congrats & much happiness to you both.
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. 😊
I always imagined Philip proposing with a brooch. 😅
It looks like the chapel will host many wedding ceremonies once it's finished. May God bless all the future happy events that will take place in the future newly renovated holy place!
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. We are blessed to have found you. You are such a breath of fresh air in the middle of a crazy world just know that barbera is smiling down on you both and sending her blessing❤
❤
I am also very happy and impressed with how good Percy looks. I am very glad that the treatment is working.
congratulations stephanie and phillip enjoy this life as much as you can
Congratulations! Your faces seem to always be happy but there was a new look on Stephanie’s face as you both talked about the engagement-the look of a young girl in love. So happy for you all. ❤
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 ❤
Yay congratulations 🥳 Our darling little love birds🥹💘 I hope they get married in the chapel 💒
Congratulations dear Stephanie and Philip 🎉This was incredibly happy news! Wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, adventure, and happiness 🥰🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️
❤congradulations ! we all have been waiting for this news ! Your so perfect together ❤much happiness to you both forr the rest of your lives !!💕
I completely agree, you both look so much In ĺove with each òther🐕🦺❤❤
😊
Forget the Chateau, your Mom has my dream house and location. LOVE IT.
And those mischievous monkeys 🤣🤣🤣 they are adorable- naughty but adorable 🥰
What a wonderful surprise. Congratulations Stephanie Philip. Now there are two weddings to look forward to.
HUGE🎉Congratulations on your ingagement Stephanie and Philip, wonderfull news❣️ So much love going around in the Chateau Diaries.
Congratulations, Stephanie and Philip!! 🎉 You two are a match made in heaven! ❤
Congratulations Ms. Stephanie and Phillip on your engagement 🎉🎉🎉 it’s wonderful you both found each other, it’s so beautiful to find a caring partner in life❤ it was obvious you two where smitten from the beginning. Looking forward to watching many more creative years of you both together.🦋🦋🦋 so happy Percy is doing g better, he looks so good, your mom looks so happy as well. Always a pleasure to see Gerry🥰
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.
Oh I’m so so pleased for you both, you are a match made in heaven. I had a feeling it would be soon, now the chapel will have to be completed for the fairytale wedding. I love at how much thought Phillip put into your engagement ring and how you can choose together a stone to have set in it. I’m told South Africa is a great place to get fabulous stones so happy hunting for the perfect gem. Congratulations 🍾💍💐
...so is Amsterdam. My mother got a big diamond there for her wedding ring.... 15 years. after the wedding when my dad could afford it!!
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!
Regarding the oven, Google the model # and get the diagram of the front and the temperature positions. Easy peasy.
Congratulations - we are so happy for you two. We know you will love each other "to infinity and beyond!"
Congratulations to you both. I was grinning from ear to ear all through that episode. You are such a wonderful example of a loving couple and I can’t be happier for you both ❤❤
Percy looks fantastic!!! So happy he is doing very well compared to a few months ago.
I knew it! The last time you showed the chapel restoration progress it occurred to me that you two might celebrate it being completed with your wedding 😊❤ I’m so thrilled for you, congratulations!!
I’m crying with joy! You two are adorable! And Isabelle and Percy absolutely look healthy and beautiful. I love Jerry who always has sage comments! 👍🏻💕🇺🇸😊😊
Congratulations. Soo happy for you. I know a lot of people feel the same, when I say; we've never met, but I feel part of the family. So happy to share your fabulous news.
Ohhhhh MY Goodnessssss! CONGRATULATIONS !!!!! This is such GOOD NEWS!!!! I could not stop smiling and talking about your engagement, my husband and I are sooooo Happy to hear this. You two have such a beautiful relationship and are always so considerate of each other, it is a joy to watch you work and live your lives of beauty and adventure! You will have an amazing journey sharing the rest of your lives together and building a life as one! May The Lord richly bless you and keep you all the days of your life and we will be praying for you as you make plans now to celebrate this blessed union!!! Congratulations Stephanie ❤ Philip ❤🙏🏻❤ Raven
Congratulations dear Stephanie & Phillip… May you live in happiness, laughter and good health forever… you will be a beautiful bride and groom.
There is so much joy radiating from all of you - for Percy's return to health, and the love you and Phillip share. Could not be happier for all of you. Blessings to all.
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.
I don't know why but I was somewhat under the impression that Stephanie was a bit opposed to the whole engagement/wedding thing ... but she looks especially LUMINOUS throughout this video and I could not be happier for the two of them! Congratulations kids!! ❤❤❤
Because Stephanie literally said one time that after her brief marriage she decided marriage wasn't for her. But people change 🤷♀️
Stephanie was apposed to a dog too lol😊
@@chartfield6856why would you say such a thing? I guess you’re the one here seeking attention. That’s a horrible thing to say and you should be ashamed of yourself!
That is rather nasty... be kind chartfield... it'll do you good. Stephanie and Phillip don't need your permission to be happy & fulfilled. btw grinding your teeth is not healthy for you & it's annoying to others. Try happiness like our beloved Steph... it does a body & soul good!! @@chartfield6856
...more teeth-grinding from one(s) desperate for a little true love themselves... Joy is a state of mind & Stephanie has had it in s.p.a.d.e.s since the first vlog I saw her do. No doubt she has had this infectious innate joy bubbling from within since she was a child... is that what's really getting under your skin & eating away at you? Some people can not believe that real joy and a sense of purpose & drive & ambition to do good in this world are truly achievable. Well, people like Stephanie & Phillip are here to prove you wrong... AND Amaury & Nattie too...whom Stephanie was over-the-moon-happy for... NATURALLY!! ...as she should be as Amaury is family ... her first cousin whom she admires and loves and wants to see happy with darling Nattie! Those who try to drive wedges between family members... whether they be husband & wife... parent & child... or between different/extended family members are doing the work of not-the-ONE-upstairs let's just say!! God Bless The Peacemakers & those who Bear Great Tidings of Great Joy... God Bless Phillip & Stephanie & an Eternity of Happiness!!! 💗💞💖 @@ambadevine6200
Many congratulations Stephenie and Philip, I’m thrilled for you both, in fact my whole family send you love and happiness always, I new it wouldn’t be long and how romantic that Philip proposed to you in the chapel, it would be lovely to be married in the chapel, don’t you think! We as a family can’t wait for your wedding day, much love to you all and it was wonderful to see Percy looking so well, I love him and mummy so much and what would we do without Gerald’s jokes, xxxxxxxxxxxxxx😘❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh how wonferful! This entire vlog had me smiling from Steph wedging her way through the gate to Michael's reveal that he cannot distinguish amongst an assortment of cheeses, to the oven conversation and of course, the engagement. Congratulations to you both!!! ❤
I know everybody else is congratulating you in the comments and congratulations but I just wanted to say how pretty Percy's eyes are
So happy to hear these great news. Congratulations on your engagement. Enjoy the emotions and each other while planning your future. 🥳🥰
Sweet Percy; so happy that he is well. And yes, he looks great! What is the air like there? With the breeze blowing I can just imagine what it's like. I was wondering when you and Phillip would get engaged! So exciting!
I think the scaffolding sounds very romantic.
Mummy looks so young-living there has done wonders for the both of them!! Fun to see Michael too! Oh for some Sunshine ☀️-from the Pacific Northwest 👋👋
Congratulations to you both. You are so well suited.❤I wish you a long healthy adventurous life together 🍾🥂
🎉❤what a beautiful moment. Both rings are just GORGEOUS 💕 🥂 congratulations!
I have cried with joy for you two! Congratulations and most sincere wishes for a beautiful loving future together!
Me too lol I’m still wiping tears ❤️
I also became emotional. They feel like my family.
Congratulations. When you look back at the video, just after yo told your mum and Percy, just look at them. They are both glowing! They are so happy for you both!!
I was wondering what Phillip was doing up on the scaffolding, looking for happy and confident! You bring each other to greater heights! Perfect!
Congratulations to you both !!!! how wonderful !!! ......... Also, Percy does look great, so healthy and looks so wide eyed and bushy tailed. Wonderful news that he is healing.
What a dear friend you have in Michael
Percy DOES look so much better. Congrats you two and many happy days to come! 🎉
Congratulations to you both and what a beautiful place! Their home is beautiful.
Congratulations Stephanie and Phillip....may God bless your union.
Congratulations❤ You belong together..soul mates.. soooo happy for you..❤❤❤❤
Congratulations you darling couple, I wish you so much happiness. ❤️
Congratulations to you both on your engagement, you are very well matched couple and I hope you will have many, many years of happiness together. ❤❤❤😊
It makes my day to hear and see Percy and your sweet mom. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing your wonderful family, ❤
Congratulations! It is so very apparent you two are meant for one another. Blessings to you both! ✨️💖✨️
@@vtruth2798 Nati and Amoury have clearly stated they don't want children. Stop with the hate.
@vtruth2798 so 2 witches with a B
...hopefully they will change their minds about having children... but the 'pattern' of that little green monster of envy is all too apparent in some!!! May God bless Phillip & Stephanie with an ETERNITY of happiness & Love!!! 💗💞💖 @@marinaanais
@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.
Isabelle, Percy, and Gerald, hello, you are all looking great. Percy you look very good. Continued good health. Enjoy your holiday. ❤❤
Chuffed to bits for you! You are all looking happy and healthy and that really is some view.
So happy for you and Philip. Glad you took time to enjoy it for just the 2 of you.
Congratulations, Stephanie and Philip. I am very happy for the two of you. ❤
Nice to see Jerry out of his Scottsman outfits.
Had to stop the vlog to quickly comment how thrilled I am for the two of you! All the best to a wonderful couple who could not be better matched! So happy for you thanks so much for sharing!
South African, here.. ! 🇿🇦 South Africa, as an independent country.. Is a Truly Beautiful and remarkable Country! ITS HEART Breaking that The Economic and deteriorating Infrastructure has reached Such a Dire situation! Where Soo many people have CHOSEN to leave their “BELOVED” South Africa! You are Very Blessed to be able to Go and Stay in Your Moms Home! Congratulations on Your Engagement! 🎉 Hope you will BOTH be Very Happy and content in your Forthcoming Marriage! 🎉❤
Love it when Michael can be on the videos. And of course congrats to you both. It is wonderful when soul mates find each other.
Interesting how we all are happy and congratulating someone we have never met but someone feel we know. Thank you for sharing the good news. Very happy for you both. Blessings.
OMG! What wonderful news!! I'm over the moon-happy for Steph & Phillip... couldn't happen to nicer people. They took their time... but that's how we know it's the real deal. Love & Marriage go together like a horse & carriage... 🎶🎵⚜💓💗💞💖
Congratulations Stephanie and Phillip... How absolutely exciting. What a year of adventures and new beginnings. May you both be blessed with many many years of happiness, love, and laughter. xxx
❤ Congratulations 🍾🥂🎉 I am so happy for both of you. How wonderful to be home in S.A. 🇿🇦 to celebrate. We are having wonderful weather here at the moment, enjoy your holiday 💖 It's good to see Percy looking so well 💚 Your Mum is radiant, and Gerry is always so bubbly.
💡 OH OH I can tell you how to fix the ignition switch on the grill‼️ if you pull or twist the switch itself it will come out and there’s a battery in there if you can believe it. I actually learned this on TikTok ours hadn’t worked from day one and that’s all it was it had a AA battery I believe in there could’ve been a AAA battery I had no idea, not only did I think I was a genius so did my husband he was quite impressed.
Congratulations on your upcoming wedding. You 2 are made for each other. So happy how well Percy is.
Percy is looking marvelous! I'm so happy to hear his lovely voice after not seeing him in your vids for a while. I'm glad you're feeling better Percy! I am soooooo thrilled for you and Phillip, you're the cutest couple on the internet
Great news, we have followed you from the beginning, commented positively occasionally about the chapel, it is all wonderful! Congratulations, you are a lovely couple!!!
You were meant for each other. Congratulations! 💕💕
Congratulations Stephanie and Phillip !!! What an amazing news!! You are radiant Steph ❤ I’m so so happy for both of you, and can’t wait for your wedding , hopefully in La lands chapel ❤❤
Congratulations and may you both have many happy and joyful years together. Live, laugh & love! ❤❤❤
Many best wishes on your engagement. You are a beautiful couple.
I still have hope for you and Michael Potts
I thought the same but Philip has got more common with Stephanie than him. Also let’s not forget he had the chance in the past but broke her heart .They use to be partners for 10 years. But he choose to stay friends with her instead of being lovers. Stephanie is like a butterfly around him. But he wasn’t interested. 😢Stephanie wasn’t gonging to wait for him forever.
How inappropriate. Some people have no shame.
@@13FallenAngela The fallen angel 13 😈( satan) is saying that…If we achieved making Satan appalled with our point of view we must really not have any shame..Ha ha ha ha ha 🤣🤣🤣🤣God bless you. ❤️🤣
Congratulations- I’m so happy for you-Stephanie and Phillip!! I screamed and then cried with joy and happiness for you! 💖💖
How delightful! Lovely location for your special news. My best to you and your loved ones.
So very happy for you both!!! May yoube blessed by many amazing years together, especially at the Chateau !😊
Please make sure Percy is taking PROBIOTICS to keep his intestines healthy while taking antibiotics for so long. My poor dear mother had to have her colon removed as the antibiotics took a toll on her. Congratulations on your engagement 💍 the two of you inspire me to perhaps love again.
The angel skin, coral is gorgeous! And it’s very valuable.
Wonderful news, very happy for you both! ❤🎉xx
Fantastic news !! It really is a château filled with love life and laughter... look forward to weddings to come!! Xx
I am shedding a few tears of happiness for you both. Every episode I am amazed at how attuned you both are, and how much Phillip shares your interests Stephanie and is knowledgeable, curious and funny in all the most delightful of ways. You may be of differing ages however Philip is an old soul and you Steph, are young at heart. I am so grateful for you and your family and circle of friends that you hold so dear, as we, your audience are privileged, via your hard work, to witness and cherish too.
Oh, what a lovely announcement! Congratulations! You two are so wonderful together. I'm so happy for you both! Hurrah! 🥰💕🥂🫶
Congratulations Stephanie and Phillip.The excitement of your announcement was so perfect .Being with your mum and family made it very special.Hoping the wedding will be this year and everyone will have such a happy year of preparations.🏰🎉😀
Im so so happy and excited for you and Phillip! You guys are such a great couple! Cheers to many years!
I saw that coming ! As soon as Amaury proposed I thought mmmmmm there will be another one soon . Two weddings for the newly repaired chapel ? Congratulations to you both
Me too. I knew it
I can’t imagine you two with anyone else! You compliment each other beautifully ❤
Southbroom is a beautiful place! Good to see you back and celebrating your engagement on the lovely South Coast ! Love and best wishes from a South African fan! 🇿🇦
Congrats Stephanie and Phillip 🎉❤😊!!!
