Kristina and Billy met in 2009 while Kristina was bartending to put herself through college, and Billy used to come into the bar where she worked. At the time, Kristina had little focus on meeting someone, and by no means had intentions of dating, but Billy was persistent. Billy saw the dedication Kristina had, in helping to support her family during a very difficult time, as well as persue her education. Kristina was taken by surprise how persistent Billy was, by his daily visits to see Kristina, his sweet messages left on the bar to grab her attention, and his charm and funny personality made an everlasting impression. Since then, the summer of 09, they fell in love and their love has only continued to grow.
