Adam and Crystal met the night before Allison & James DeCosemo's wedding- Adam was James' best man and Crystal was Allison's bridesmaid (so cliché). Adam first spotted Crystal during a drinking game ("Waterfall") across the table and they instantly locked eyes. Later that night after the rehearsal dinner, Adam asked Crystal what she was studying at Michigan State University. When she replied "dietetics", Adam wanted to know what he was eating in his diet that was causing him to fart so much! After going through each meal, Crystal told him to stop eating so much broccoli as it is high in fiber and was contributing to his frequent flatus. Anyway, they hit it off throughout the entire wedding weekend. Jon, Crystal's father, even noticed and approached Adam and said "So, I hear you're smitten with my daughter." To which Adam replied, "Why, yes sir. I'm a big fan."
Thereafter, Adam would make many trips to see Crystal at Michigan State until he graduated from his Master's program at Northwood University and had to move back to England once his student visa expired. They became serious a few months later and endured a long-distance relationship for the next four years. They traveled together, spent many hours on Facetime, went a whole year without seeing each other during COVID travel bans, and dreamt about their future.
Adam proposed at the top of a long, strenuous hike with a bad ankle sprain in the Lake District in England. And so began a 2-year-long Green Card process. After countless applications, forms, lawyers, and interviews, Adam was finally approved to move to the US in 2023! With 90 days to legally get married, they wrangled up their local friends and got hitched at the courthouse in Oregon.
Now, they live in Oregon with their two sweet cats (Derek & Lenny), enjoying their little life together at last. Their marriage would not be complete without celebrating with all of their loved ones in the same place and cannot wait to share this moment with each and every one of you!
