Hey everyone, its Jovan! I’m Chris’ older brother. Growing up with Chris over the last 20-plus years has been a long journey. We are complete opposites, but you could never tell (or you might).
I’ll never forget for Christmas, we had a choice between Playstation 2, Xbox or Gamecube, I took the PS2 but Chris did his own thing and choose the Gamecube. That pretty much sums him up. He’s his own person and goes after what he likes, but that’s what I like about him, and I’m glad to be a part of this moment.
Hello, my name is Steven. I can’t believe that I have known both Chris and Nina, respectively, for 12 and 10 years. Time has flown by. I remember back at Chestnut Hill College in the fall semester of 2014, when Chris and Nina were first becoming serious. Chris was enthusiastically explaining to Nina about the nuances of Power Rangers, Kamen Rider, and Super Sentai. Nina gladly went down the rabbit hole with Chris. In that moment I realized that both Chris and Nina were on the same wavelength; they seemed to understand each other. As they say, the rest is history. I wish nothing but the best for Chris and Nina as they embark on this new chapter in their lives.
Hey everyone, I’m Steffon and I’ve known Chris for almost half my life at this point, which is saying a lot. I met Chris back in the summer of 2012 on my tour around Chestnut Hill College where my mom begged him to get me out of my room and actually be involved in activities around the school. Who would’ve guess we’d be here 12 years later with him now dragging me to his wedding with another of my lovely friends Nina, who I’ve known just as long. From Griffin Days to Extra Life to TooManyGames and till now, he has always put his best foot forward in the things he does and the promises he makes, and I couldn’t be happier for the both of them.
Hi. I’m Dominic, Nina’s 16 year old nephew . I go to Roman Catholic high school and I like to play football. Living close, I would always get to see Nina whether it’s a family event or going with my lola to visit. Our family trip to the Poconos was when we first met Chris and it was not long until he fit right into our loud rowdy family. My favorite memory is when me and my cousins were all at the pool with Chris. We were all playing in the pool and laughing cause it looked like Chris’ hair couldn’t get wet. After that day, we would always joke about them getting married and now they are. I couldn’t be happier for both of them and I’m good to be a part of it.
Welcome all, my name is Jared and I met Chris & Nina my freshman year of college. Chris was my orientation leader and over time a close friend. Nina was a classmate and soon we all met through gaming club and class. Over time we all noticed the sparks forming between the two and now here we all are at their wedding. It’s an hour and a pleasure to be here to witness this wonderful day.
I’m Giselle, Nina’s 14 year old niece. I loved all of our family gatherings with Nina growing up and I still love them to this day. I still remember the day when we met Chris in the Poconos on one of our family vacations. He taught us new games and never failed to make us laugh. He also joins in our conversations no matter how loud we are. I’m so happy for him to be officially a part of our family, and I’m so excited to be part of today. Congratulations!
Hello I’m Gianna Siasoco, one of Nina’s nieces. I am 17 years old and I have enjoyed family reunions and vacations with Nina ever since I was little. I remember the day she brought Chris to our trip to the Poconos. He was the sweetest and most friendliest guy I have ever met, and I can only imagine that the two will have a wonderful life ahead of them. I am so excited to be part of this special day. Congrats to Chris and Nina!!
Hi, I’m Gabriella, Nina’s 20-year-old niece. Growing up with my cousins, including Nina, was always an adventure—no matter how rowdy we got, we always knew how to have fun. I vividly remember the day Nina brought Chris to our family reunions, and we instantly welcomed him with open arms. We’ve been playfully pestering them about getting married since we were kids, and I’m thrilled to finally be part of their special day!
I’m Miya, Nina’s 16 year old niece. She has been a big part of our life ever since we were young, and she basically watched me and my cousins grow up.
Ever since Nina introduced us to Chris, we’ve welcomed him as a part of our family. He’s helped us a lot, and it brings me joy to see them on their special day!
Hello, I’m Guia (ɡi-a). I’m Nina’s little sister and the one who encourages them and their odd ideas. Growing up, we had a complicated relationship, a roller coaster of ups and downs. We fought over the same console, what games to play, who was using the family computer, backseat gaming, and sometimes annoyed each other—the typical sibling stuff. Surprisingly, despite all that, we still care for each other. They were my voice when I struggled to form words and when I couldn’t speak due to anxiety. In turn, I inspired them to pick up a pencil and try drawing. And now they’ve convinced me to try making stickers. They’re peculiar and odd, but they are free and happy. I hope Nina and Chris are ready for new adventures.
