Niashya and Christopher tied the knot in a stunning blush, gold and ivory wedding on May 23, 2015 at Chateau Briand Caterers in New York.

After a chance encounter at a party, Chris inquired about Niashya through one of her best friends. They exchanged numbers and made plans for a movie date…only it never happened. Niashya fell asleep and stood him up! Then almost a year later they crossed paths again at a family BBQ and decided to give it another try. They spoke on the phone for 6 hours straight and found out they had so much in common. They both realized they could be more than just friends.

Proposal story:

Chris popped the question during Niashya’s 30th birthday dinner surrounded by family and friends. He made a speech about how much he loved her and then got down on one knee. There wasn’t a dry eye in the place. The whole restaurant was clapping. It was like a scene out of a movie.

From the Bride:

Don’t sweat the small stuff! I can be a bit of a “control freak” and would often obsess about the smallest details. But in the end, I realized that things ALWAYS work out and whatever doesn’t, nobody notices! Lastly, enjoy every waking moment of this time! Confession: I actually MISS the planning process.  As you have probably experienced or heard by now, time will FLY by, so enjoy the ride. It’s beautiful.
