My name is Crystal and I am from North Dakota! I am a mother of 2 girls, Olivia (11) and Zoe (2). They were born 1 day apart! Talk about confusing! :) I met my soul mate and soon to be husband Johnny, a year ago 6/27/18 thru a mutual friend and we have been attached at the hip ever since. He decided on putting up with me forever and got down on one knee on 8/21/19. :) We decided on the date of 8/13/21 for our wedding. I can't wait to marry my best friend! :) Congrats to all of you!

Happily married 🎉
