Crystal moved to Charleston, SC, in mid-2013 from her hometown of Geneva, NY, a year after graduating from college. She started working as a waitress at Ruby Tuesday, where she met SaQuavis, who was employed as a chef. The two quickly discovered their shared sense of humor and often joked around at work. One day, SaQuavis experienced car trouble, and Crystal offered to give him a ride home. That night, they listened to music and talked until the sun came up. During their conversation, they realized they had many common interests and enjoyed engaging in intellectual discussions. After work, the team would often socialize at a local restaurant, which further strengthened their friendship. This is where their love story began.
