Our Wedding

Once upon a time, a simple direct message changed everything.What began as a small online hello quickly turned into something meaningful. Our very first phone call lasted through the night into the morning — somewhere along the way, Krystal even drifted off to sleep on the line, like two teenagers discovering something new.From the beginning, we knew there was something special. Through laughter, long conversations, and truly getting to know one another, we fell in love and became each other’s person.During our relationship, Eddie deployed twice for six months at a time. Those seasons taught us how to stay connected across distance and appreciate every moment we shared. Instead of pulling us apart, it made us stronger.We didn’t meet looking to be completed — we met as two whole people who chose each other and built something steady, peaceful, and deeply meaningful.Then came the moment that changed everything.On November 30, 2024, Eddie asked Krystal to be his wife.Her answer was immediate and full of love: Yes.Now, surrounded by the people we love most, we’re stepping into forever — hand in hand, heart to heart.And our greatest adventure is just beginning. 💍✨

Forever Starts Here
