Crystal and David met one evening in New York City at a wine bar called Casallula. It was her birthday and he came with a few friends. A brief introduction was made and he left that night remembering "the girl in the red dress". Months later (he takes his time), he was asking his friends to get her number for him. Crystal could not recall who this person was because it was months ago. Her friend vouched for him telling her that he was, "a really nice guy", so she went on what felt like a blind date! David arrived in a white mustang to take her out. Of course, he opened the door like a gentleman, but Crystal made sure to unlock the driver side door, passing the "door test". He knew she was, "one of the great ones" and clearly they both had seen A Bronx Tale as kids. After a sushi dinner, which is still a date night staple, they went for dessert at Martha's Bakery. They were just not quite ready for their first date to end. When David dropped her off at home, the night was sealed with a kiss at the door. Four years later David and Crystal went to Cape Cod for David's birthday. It was the same spot where they had their first romantic getaway weekend at The Inn at Cape Cod. He planned the trip four years ago to show her, "how serious he was about her." On this second trip, you could say he was again trying to show her , "how serious he was about her". It was at the Old Yarmouth Inn he said, "You know what I really want for my birthday?", and got down on one knee to say "I want you to be my wife for the rest of my life."
