Krystie & Shnaider Love Story

Shnaider and I went to High-school together but we didn’t know each. Funny, I knew all of his friends except him, it’s like fate didn’t want us to meet then. Fast forward years later, he messaged me on Facebook stating he wanted to see me, I told him I was at at a fasting service at church and if he really wanted to see me that’s where I would be. He agreed but it was almost 12am so I just thought he was bluffing, I sent him the address of my church not expecting him to show up. As service was ending at 3am on my way out, I indeed spotted Shnaider sitting down and waving at me. When he saw my shocked facial expression, he told me he would follow me wherever and whenever. I was in utter awe. We exchanged numbers that night and have been inseparable since.

It was the weekend of my birthday, the night of my proposal Shnaider said we were going to wine and dine at the Versace Mansion which I have never been to. Dress code there is dress to impress so it wasn’t too suspicious when he picked out a gown for me to wear and made sure I had my hair, nails and makeup done. On our way to the proposal I wanted to show my family & friends how I looked but no one was answering, I voiced that to Shnaider and he just brushed it off. When we got to our destination he told me to close my eyes and led me inside a quiet area and as I opened my eyes I saw all my friends and family running towards me yelling “happy birthday ”. I thought it was simply a birthday party but as everyone continued to greet me I turned another corner and there Shnaider was, standing in front of a “Will you marry me” sign.

Our wedding will take place Sunday December 22, 2024. We’re going for a winter wonderland themed wedding with all white flowers and gold accents.
