Feeling a shared connection, they enjoyed a romantic first date over dinner, followed by an evening stroll where they “watched the stars and moon, kissing and holding hands.” After eight years of dating Curtis decided to make their love forever, and give himself the greatest gift of all, by proposing to Crystal during his 29th birthday celebration, in front of family and friends.
