For Couples
Crystal and Jeff’s wedding at Botanica Oceanside was nothing short of magical, capturing the essence of their decade-long journey together. The lush, vibrant gardens provided a breathtaking backdrop for their special day, reflecting the couple’s deep love for nature and beauty.
Their love story began during their third year at UCI, where Jeffrey joined DEM, the pre-health fraternity that Crystal was already part of. Jeffrey’s interest in Crystal was clear from the start. He frequently brought her food while she worked at the study center, always ensuring she was well-fed during those long hours. One memorable night, after an all-night study session, Jeffrey mustered the courage to ask Crystal on a date during a late-night phone call. She said yes, marking the beginning of their beautiful journey together.
After eight years of dating, adopting their beloved pup, Whiskey, and two adorable kitties, Jojo and Gillie, and navigating the challenges of grad school separately, Jeffrey finally proposed on October 1, 2022. By the time they tied the knot, they had been together for a decade, with many more years to look forward to.
The wedding was a celebration of their love, filled with joyous moments and heartfelt exchanges. The highlight of the evening was their epic bubble grand exit. As they made their way through a tunnel of shimmering bubbles, surrounded by family and friends, it felt like a scene straight out of a fairy tale. The bubbles glistened in the evening light, adding a whimsical touch to their already enchanting day.
Crystal and Jeff’s love story is a testament to patience, perseverance, and the magic of finding one’s perfect match. Their wedding at Botanica Oceanside was a beautiful reflection of their journey together, a day filled with love, laughter, and the promise of forever.
