Dean explained the purpose behind it. He said,

it’s been 16 years since i lost my mom. i always thought it’d get easier as time wore on but it hasn’t. something about being an adult just makes me wish she was here even more. every year around this time i get emotional and depressed, i miss her more now than i ever have before. i’m so happy to now have this date as a happy memory as well. from now on i’ll be able to find joy in something this time of year, be excited for the future rather than sad about the past, and celebrate love with the woman who may one day be a mother to children of our own.

Their wedding theme and tribute to his mother

Changing their name to Bell is a nod to Dean’s mom who passed away when he was a teenager. She died from breast cancer. They even had their wedding theme in honor of her and also for Caelynn’s past love of summer camp. The theme was “Camp Bell.”

Plus, they wanted to make their wedding fun for an entire weekend versus one night. So, they had everyone in their own cabin at the venue. It was also important for them to be able to bring their dog Alastor. The venue allowed it and he had plenty of space to run around as well.
