On October 1, 2018, first contact was made through the dating website, Plenty Of Fish. Conversations began, sparks quickly started flying, and their first date was set for October 16, 2018. Their first date was dinner and a movie. They still liked each other so much after their first date that they had several more until they decided to become official on October 28, 2018.. TJ proposed to Krystle during a photo shoot with TJ's family. Krystle had originally set up the photographer to only photograph them and their two fur babies, Leo and Cooper, but TJ had a different kind of plan. TJ knew his mother had been wanting to do a photo shoot with the entire family plus Krystle, since everyone knew they would get married eventually. He suggested using this photo shoot for the family photo shoot but also as a cover up for the proposal, knowing that this photo shoot was the perfect way to do it, since it was something she was setting up so she couldn't see it coming, and to get everything Krystle wanted from her perfect proposal: the family and puppies needed to be there to see it, she needed to look good "to her standards", and for the moment to be photographed or captured on video. Krystle agreed to the family photo shoot and she reached out to TJ's family to see if everyone was on board. TJ also reached out to his family to tell them his plan and now the family was on board. TJ reached out to the photographer, without Krystle knowing, to tell her his plan and now the photographer was on board. TJ met with the photographer at the location where the pictures would be taken and they talked it all out and figured out exactly how and where it would happen so the photographer would be prepared to capture the moment. Everything was set for the proposal to be exactly how Krystle wanted it to be. It turned out to be a pretty cold morning, around 34 degrees, but everything went off without a hitch and Krystle had no idea it was coming. Of course, she said YES!!
