> *"Ever since I came to this beach I honestly didn’t know what to expect and it wasn’t smooth sailing early on. I mean, to be honest, there was a moment where I wanted to give up, a few weeks ago, but it was you that came to me and I listened. Honestly Krystal, you’ve changed my life. You’ve changed me. You’ve helped me become a better version of myself, a better man, but I have to be honest with myself and I have to be honest with you. And I’m so sorry Krystal, but it would be unfair to both of us if I left here today holding your hand, because I wanna leave here holding your heart. And I wanna give you my heart today, tomorrow and forever. I love you so much and I honestly can not picture a life without you. You’re the woman I know I wanna be with. Krystal Nicole Nielson, will you marry me?"* - Chris proposing to Krystal.
