They met in a support group for people who had gone through bariatric surgery, and became friends first. "My mom knew him first and always said, 'I wish you'd meet a guy like Bill,’” Crysta told the Detroit Free Press. Two years after they started dating, Bill proposed after running the New York City Marathon.
The couple decided to get married in the exact room at the hospital where they met. The hospital was under construction at the time, and just finished work a week before the big day. Their yoga instructor officiated, and the couple sported Converse sneakers with their formal duds.

As a couple, Crysta and Bill have completely altered their lifestyle. Bill started at 459 pounds and now weighs about 250, and Crysta has lost about 180 pounds. They both have to watch what they eat extremely carefully, or else they feel sick. And they’re both committed to staying fit; Bill now has run two marathons.
"There isn't any aspect of my life that [weight loss] hasn't changed," Bill told the newspaper. "From being able to run to finding love, it's changed everything.”
