Leon Draisaitl and fiancee Celeste explore London ahead of couple's upcoming wedding in France

This weekend, Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl and his fiancee Celeste Desjardins flew to London ahead of their highly anticipated wedding in France. On Sunday, Celeste shared a series of stories on her Instagram featuring snaps from their outing in the British capital.

One of the stories showed the stately architecture of a historic London building with classic red-brick detailing with the Union Jack and Hong Kong flags at the entrance. The second photo featured a close-up of a menu from Scott’s restaurant along with several champagne glasses on a wooden table.

The final story in the trio was a warm selfie of the couple seated side by side. Celeste wore a neutral-toned outfit, and smiled next to Draisaitl, who was in a light knit sweater.

Earlier on Saturday, Celeste had shared a few more stories before their departure. In the first story, she shared a photo of one of their dogs sitting inside an open suitcase packed with neatly folded clothes. In the caption, she gushed in excitement about their wedding:

“Off to London tonight for a few days before leaving to the south of France for our wedding… count down is officially on. Can’t believe the day is almost here 😭🤍” “He knows we’re leaving without him, wish we could bring him 🥺,” she added, referring to their pet.

She then posted a click featuring a peaceful forest path, with their two dogs running ahead through the trees. The final story saw Leon Draisaitl seated at a restaurant which Celeste captioned as “soon to be hubby” followed by a heart-eyed emoji and tagged his profile.
