A Twist On Tradition - Get To Know Us

Instead of the usual (and let’s be honest - BORING) “Where/how We Met” section, we wanted to invite you to get to know us in way that’s more…us.

Enjoy this little adventure into the heart of our relationship. We're so excited to share these parts of our story with you and even more excited to celebrate our love with each of you!

Who’s the funniest?

Ni: Yeah, let’s go ahead and start off with the most important question. It’s me. Always has been. Always will be.

Krys: This is going to be the only time I’ll tell the truth about this but it’s Ni. I’m no slouch but she has me cracking up ALL THE TIME.

What do I think is our greatest strength as a couple?

Ni: Oh, this one is easy. WE ACTUALLY LIKE EACH OTHER! Yes, that’s very much a strength.

Krys: We gone eat. But no seriously we’re literally on the same page with so much. When it comes to beliefs, relationships, parenting styles and most of all eating.

What’s our idea of a perfect date night?

Ni: I’m gonna have to say we have two versions of a perfect date night.

Version one? We stay in, finally pick from the list of HUNDREDS of TikTok recipes we have saved and cook dinner together (halfway through this, I’m just standing behind Krys with a glass of wine letting him know he’s doing an amazing job and offering to taste everything WE made).

Then we finally binge watch that one show we’ve been meaning to watch. A few episodes in and Krys is just yelling at me to open my eyes and threatening to turn the TV off while I insist they’re open and somehow recap everything I just watched in my “sleep” to prove to him I was awake. 🙃

Version two? We’re feeling young again and my knee is acting right, so we’re getting dressed up and stepping out. Krys has already found a new restaurant for us to try and more than likely won’t tell me what it is yet. After dinner, we hang out somewhere long enough for me to hit him with, “Why am I hungry again?” His response? “Ok I thought it was just me.” So guess what we do? Yep. Eat again.

Krys: Anything that involves food tbh lol

I just gotta be prepared because at 10:38pm her stomach is gonna growl again no matter how full she was before.

What’s “our song”?

Ni: Yeah, no. I’m not picking just one. 😂 I’m gonna have to say Drake - Fire & Desire, Ro James - Everything, Ryan Trey - Rollin, Tory Lanez - S*M*N (this whole mixtape honestly)…actually, let me just make y’all a playlist.

Krys: Idk if we have a song per se. But more so list of them depending on the year and our mood. It can go from us doing a duet of “Playing Games (Extended Version)” - Summer Walker & Bryson Tiller, “Love You Too much” - Lucky Daye to “Roll In Peace” - Kodak Black

What are our favorite movies or TV shows to watch together?

Ni: AVENGERS ASSEMBLEEEEE! ANY and EVERYthing Marvel.

Krys: Anything Marvel related. And at the end of either one she’ll point out Kevin Fiege in the credits.

What trait do we value most in the other person?

Ni: Hands down how nurturing he is to those he loves the most. 🥹

Krys: How she is as a mother. On a scale of 1-10 this woman is off the charts.

If we had to perform a karaoke duet, which song would we choose and why?

Ni: This isn’t a duet by ANY means 🥴 but pick any song from Pretty Ricky’s Bluestars album and we’re gonna make it one. Every background vocal. Every lead part. We got it 😂

Krys: Did I mention “Playing Games” and “Love You Too much”? If y’all could see us singing these in the car you’d understand.

If you could travel anywhere in the world together, where would it be and why?

Ni: There’s a lot of places I could name, but let me just say Jamaica. Why? Because the last time I went, I brought back a chicken patty (this trip was my first time trying one, and omg 😋) and accidentally left it at Krys’s house and Y’ALL…HE ATE IT 😭 Run me my patty please sir.

On a more serious note (because that one was still very serious), definitely anywhere in Italy. For the food, the culture, the experience, and the food.

Krys: I’d say somewhere with a beach and drinks. My favorite trip I’ve been on included her plus those two things.

Who is more likely to get lost, and who is the navigator when you travel?

Ni: Are we flying? If so, y’all already know the answer to this. 😂 I just follow Krys through the airport without a care or concern. Now if I’m driving? Yeah I’m missing a few exits. Y’all know I can’t see good. That’s a big IF though. Because I’m not driving. Krys, you got it! I got the playlist and the snacks!

Krys: Me. She doesn’t even drive like that. Ahem, passenger princess. But I’m the navigator.

How did you know you were ready for marriage?

Ni: I knew once we did the work and were intentional about making sure we were as ready as we could be. I knew once my “me” naturally shifted to “we”. I knew once the idea of marrying HIM left a calm in my spirit. I knew because I be knowing!

Krys: When I didn’t want to keep waking up without her next to me. When the best moments of my life included her. When getting married was actually something I saw in my future. Because before her it wasn’t.

What's the most important aspect of a successful marriage in your opinion?

Ni: This one is tough. I don’t think there’s just one. Can I give three? Of course I can. I created this. I’d have to say communication, commitment, and compromise.

Krys: Communication and working together to improve what we already have.

How do we define love?

Ni: Love is an act. A choice. A choice you make every single day. It’s safe. It’s effort. It’s being seen and truly seeing someone. It’s a commitment to the best interest of someone other than yourself.

Krys: When doing something for your partner isn’t a task. When being around each other doing nothing brings happiness. And when you do whatever you can to lessen what’s on the other persons plate and make it easier for them.
