We’re getting married!

We had been working at the same medical facility for almost a year before we actually crossed paths. It took a little twist of fate—literally—for that to happen. While hiking on a girls’ trip, Crystal managed to roll her ankle (and tear a few ligaments for good measure). When she returned to work, guess who was there to fit her for an ankle brace? Yep—Kyle. After a few group outings with coworkers, it became pretty clear that there was more to our story than casual lunches and hallway hellos. One date turned into another, laughter turned into love, and a few years later, Kyle slipped a ring on her finger. Now here we are—healing from that fateful ankle roll and stepping into forever together.

After months of teasing Crystal—going so far as to show her the box holding her engagement ring—Kyle finally set his plan into motion. He’d imagined a quiet proposal on the beach in Avila after lunch, but fate had other ideas. When they arrived, the shoreline was crowded with people enjoying the sunny day. Knowing Crystal dreamed of a private, intimate moment, Kyle quickly pivoted. He grabbed their lunch to-go, drove to a nearby hilltop overlooking the ocean, and set up a picnic just for the two of them. As they finished their meal, Kyle suggested taking a few photos together. But when Crystal turned toward him, he was already on one knee, asking her to spend forever with him. Between laughter, tears, and an overwhelming “yes,” the moment became everything they could have hoped for—beautiful, spontaneous, and perfectly theirs. Not long after, Crystal found a white dress and invited all of you to witness their commitment!
