Chrystal and Mike met when attending an Eric Church concert with mutual friends on February 22 2019. Exciting new beginnings followed with their first official date and picture less than a week after meeting. The two spent the afternoon of the 27th at Mike's getting to know one another over questionable pizza choices.

With a pandemic upon us, our next steps looked like buying a boat together. We gained a vessel to escape the craziness of the world, an amazing lake family, priceless memories and make more every weekend!

Realizing quickly we needed more space we took and even bigger next step and bought our Rinker.

While taking a random stroll down the beach in the Bahamas, Chrystal pulled a message out of a bottle that had coincidentally washed up when she wasn't looking. Confusion when reading "Will you marry me?" faded quickly when Mike dropped to one knee holding a sneaky smile and a beautiful ring.
