Meet the Wedding Party: Crystal Heuberger

Name: Crystal Ann Heuberger

Status: Maid of Honor, aka my "MOH"

How We Met: At Bible Study 3 years ago (my junior year and her sophomore year here at ISU). Our Bible Study had quite the mix of girls in it, and as Crystal says, she looked around the room, saw me, and thought, "I think I'll be friends with...HER! She looks like the only normal one here!" Soon after, we became roomies and thus an epic friendship was born.

Favorite Memory: There is a knock at our apartment door. Crystal, thinking it is Tyson, yells, "NO ONE IS HOME!!!" Pause. The voice on the other side of the door says, "Um...it's UPS!" Crystal becomes as red as a tomato, looks at me, and makes a mad dash to her bedroom, shutting herself inside and leaving me, the only other one home, to talk to the UPS guy. Um...thanks.

When I asked her to be my maid of honor...

A typical night at our apartment...

At the Iowa-Iowa State game...

As you can see, I love my MOH!

Roommate Assistance

To expand on the previous post, Shannon's roommate Crystal Heuberger helped me out a little bit in general, but helped out a great deal in surprising Shannon.

I am not so good at keeping secrets. I accidentally told Shannon that after I finish proposing to her, she would be able to see her mother in person instead of having to call her. This implied that I was going to propose in Minnesota, which, while not totally unforeseen, did provide her with a hint of my plans. To compensate for my slip up, Crystal went ring shopping with Shannon two days before spring break. (I had verbally purchased the ring a week ago and later proposed during spring break.)

I told Crystal (in front of Shannon) that I would not have time before spring break for her and I to return to the jewelry store with her and review what she and Shannon discussed. Shannon later told me that she was 100% confident that I did not have a ring with me during spring break. Thank you Crystal!
