Our Wedding

Our love story 

It's crazy to think that two people who have known each other since they were basically teens, would end up together. Although life took them down two very different paths, they were destined to find themselves together. Billy who graduated Business school then went off to the Army, became an 82nd Airborne Division Paratrooper, traveled the world, and became an amazing dad. Crystal graduated Business school, ran a business, traveled, and became a dog mom. Billy and Crystal reconnected via social media. Billy took Crystal to Boston for a Bruins game on their first date. It was probably the coldest night that winter. Leaving the game, they couldn’t remember how to get back to where they needed to be. They walked around trying to find an Uber until both of their phones died due to the cold. He kissed her for the first time on the freezing cold streets of Boston. Once they finally made it back to Maine, they spent every day and most nights up all night FaceTiming and talking about where they’ve been and what they’ve done over the years. They became best friends. They traveled together, and went on adventures. They fell in love, She fell in love with his little boy, eventually they moved in together, they bought a house, and he proposed in the most romantic place in Maine with Thomas by his side. We look forward to the continued adventures and next chapter in our lives. We’re lucky to have you all to share this with us.
