Sam and Crystal met while in their DPT program at Georgia State University. Like good millennials, both had stalked their new classmates on social media. Sam's lack of serious profile pictures and albums of his travels in Spain intrigued Crystal from the start. One day after school, Sam asked Crystal about her bartending job, which she clarified was more waitress/beer girl versus bottle slinging bartender. To this day, Sam jokes Crystal lured him in with the exaggerated job title. Shortly after that conversation, the pair slowly became friends and often spent their weekends together with mutual friends. During a camping trip, the two began flirting back and forth, and their relationship slowly progressed from there. For a long time (too long), Sam referred to Crystal his "roommate," which really confused people because who holds hands with their roommate? However, "roommate" finally transitioned into "girlfriend" and the pair moved to Macon for work after graduating from PT school. Then on May 12, 2018, Sam, aided by Crystal's friends, flew out to Austin, TX to surprise Crystal while she was there celebrating her friend's graduation. In front of a group of her best friends, he got down on one knee and ask her to marry him and of course she said "yes!" and ugly cried. A lot.
