The day we met—the first snow of the season. Just passing by and an invitation given to build a snowman.

Just friends learning to dance together at a spring retreat with our college ministry.

After months of pursuing by Crystian, we went on our first 1-on-1 date. Where? Cullowhee Falls of course!

Back at Western Carolina University after our first summer apart. A new chapter on campus--but as a couple.

Our first formal! Putting those dance moves to practice!

The best wedding date ever. Thanks Josh and Blaire!

Our first date together at Black Balsam. Back together after another summer apart.

The best Halloween costume-- Crystian as Peter Pan, Mary as Hook, and Malik as Tinkerbell. The year before we were Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog.

WE ARE ENGAGED! Somewhat of a surprise... we were engaged at the softball pavilion on WCU's campus.

Another beautiful formal. What a mighty fine looking couple!

More fun dates including hiking, picnicking, car rides, Sonic trips, and just time with each other.

Trip to the Asheville Fair with friends, and Crystian riding a Ferris wheel (even though he hates heights!)

Our second concert together--21 Pilots! Still big fans!

Both of our families on a beach trip to North Topsail. We found a lot of shark teeth!

And we are still chasing more adventures! Location -- Rainbow Falls
