In September 2009, high school senior Conner Cordova, a fan of mixed martial arts, asked Celeste to attend his [[prom]] with him in a series of three [[YouTube]] videos. Celeste agreed, provided that he found a date for her friend. However, Celeste was unable to appear due to her schedule, so the plan changed to attending another dance.
