Crystal and Brian met through mutual friends while on a beach trip with friends on 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. They bonded over their love of running and woke up early each morning to run on the beach together. During that beach trip, they quickly became great friends and bonded over several other topics like music, performing arts, cooking and our love for our family and friends. After the beach trip, Brian picked Crystal up every Tuesday morning for 2 months to go run along the Chattahoochee River together. After those 2 months of running together along the river, Brian finally asked Crystal on a date.
