Our Wedding

Like all great modern love stories, this one began with a swipe. Not left. Not up. The sacred swipe right. Phil was browsing Tinder looking for someone who shared his passion for adventure, sports, and possibly plant-based snacks. Crystal was hoping to find someone who wouldn’t send a message that said, “Hey ;)” and had a passport. Expectations were low. Chemistry was high. And somehow, out of the chaos of the internet, they matched. For their first date, they didn’t go for coffee or dinner. Nope. They went big. They went bold. They went... to a women’s hockey game. Nothing breaks the ice quite like, well, actual ice. Phil tried nervously to explain icing, but Uncle Shawn had explained it years ago. There was popcorn, awkward laughter, and a moment where they both realized: this might actually be something. From that day forward, Phil and Crystal-Lee were off—literally. They’ve traveled from Free Jacks games in Quincy, to the misty castles of Scotland, to the green hills and a few pubs in Ireland. They’ve strolled the flashy strip of Las Vegas, powered through the energy of New York, enjoyed typical fall New England activities, and soaked up the sun in Miami (while wearing SPF 100). Together, they’ve become experts in packing light as carry-on queens, exploring new cities, and finding restaurants where one person can order an impossible burger and the other can get chicky tendies. Of course, like any great team, they’ve had to learn to compromise. Especially in the kitchen. He’s a proud vegan who thinks nutritional yeast is magic. She’s... not. Her idea of a good meal includes cheese, bacon, and occasionally, things that moo. But somehow, it works. They’ve perfected the art of shared meals, creative substitutions, and the sacred rule: “No judgment, just separate orders.” Most importantly, they’ve built a life filled with laughter, late-night movie marathons, inside jokes, and an ever-growing list of places to explore together. Please join them in officially making it forever—not just co-pilots in travel, not just teammates in the game of life, but partners who are ready to face every overtime, every delayed flight, and every tofu vs. steak dinner with love, humor, and possibly a snack in their pocket. Because when you know, you know.

Our Story

Sam is the ultimate ride-or-die, the definition of loyalty. As the sister of a "Monica" she does an amazing job of keeping Crystal in check and keeps everyone laughing through the chaos. Sam is the ultimate dog-aunt to Ace and has been there through every high, low, and “what even is happening” moment. Just don't try to take one of her cheetos, you might lose a finger.

Sam Coonan (Crystal's sister)

Dixon is proud, loud, and always the life of the party. This Southern gent is the guy you want manning the grill and making the toasts. He’s got a heart as big as his smoker, a voice that carries (even when you wish it didn’t), and a deep love for love itself—which makes him the perfect hype man for this celebration. Whether it’s watching a Halloween movie marathon, while drinking Michelob Ultras or just showing up when it counts, he’s been a brother in spirit long before this day. There’s no one else I’d rather have standing beside me.
