Cristy and Tym first met over a shared love.... Coffee! Tym would frequent the Starbucks where Cristy worked before making his daily commute Cristy was known for being shy and hiding in the back whenever he would arrive. Eventually, she had to come out, and she had to ring him up at the register. This happened a few times, always with rosy cheeks, and warm conversations from both parties. Finally, Tym worked up the courage to ask Cristy out... She wholeheartedly said YES! They both went on their way, Tym with his coffee, and Cristy with the rest of her shift. But there was one problem; Tym never asked Cristy for her phone number, nor did they decide when and where to go! Needless to say, their next encounter was quite awkward, but they got through that just as they'll get through anything... Together.
Both Cristy and Tym enjoy photography. Tym's sister, and Best Man, Tara have used their hobby to assist her in capturing the beauty at her workplace. However, this time would be different. Cristy was asked to photograph the Enoteca room, the wine room, to showcase its beauty. She worked that morning so it was quite easy for Tara and Tym to sneak around at that time. Tym met Tara at her work where Tara already had an elaborate plan laid out. After multiple trips back and forth from the car, they loaded up all of the candles her work had to offer. Then rearranged the wine room to offer an open space with a lovely backdrop of the wine selection, and with the candles spread out just right. Tym went home to greet Cristy from work, then Tara got started. She had rose petals spread throughout the room and hand-lit every single candle! Once Tym and Cristy arrived, Tara explained that she set the room up for the photoshoot, Cristy set up her equipment and began photographing the room, getting the angle just right. Tara waited until Cristy was quite engaged in shooting, then mentioned that Cristy found the shot and that she thought it was perfect. In a fun manner, Tara suggested Tym and Cristy step into the shot for a few photos. At this point in time, Cristy made some seemingly appropriate "gangster" poses which offered Tym just the right amount of time to reach for what he hid in the room that very morning; the engagement ring, there it was hiding right behind the very same bottle Tym placed it behind earlier. This was it, the very moment they worked for, Tym got on one knee, Tara got behind the lens, and Cristy got the surprise of her life.
