Our Wedding
About Us
Our story began on a chilly January day, years ago, when a mutual friend brought us together for the first time. That simple introduction led to many moments of laughter, shared stories, and conversations that seemed to stretch on forever.
Our bond deepened as we got to know each other, and what started as friendship quickly blossomed into something more meaningful. Through all the ups and downs, we learned, we grew, and we figured it out—slowly but surely. There were moments when we were unsure, but somehow, some of our friends and family seemed to know before we did, sensing what was quietly unfolding between us. And not too long ago, our journey together led us to a beautiful moment: becoming fiancés!
It was during a birthday weekend in March, a time that was meant to be a quiet dinner between just the two of us, when Craig surprised me in the most incredible way. Surrounded by our closest family and friends at one of our favorite restaurants, he got down on one knee and proposed. Stunned, with my heart racing, I said "yes!" I had no idea it was coming.
While the road to wedding planning was a bit slow at first, we’ve finally arrived at this beautiful day. And here we are, so excited to celebrate the culmination of these years filled with more laughter, tears, and love. We are incredibly grateful for the love and support you’ve all shown us throughout this journey, and we can’t wait to celebrate, make memories, and share this special day with each and every one of you. Thank you for being a part of our story.
With love, N & C

Wedding Party
Josue
Groomsman
Josue AKA “Jo” and Craig have been friends since like 9/10 years old…Craig's day 1. They met back in the day while they lived on Conn Ave and have been “brothers” since. Jo is probably the reason why Craig loves Haitian food to this day; never knew spaghetti and hot dogs could taste so good. Jo is also one of the most down to earth humblest men you could know and is apart of the “Awesome Father” club. All around solid dude and proud to call him a friend.
Dante
Best Man
Dante aka “Leem aka Donce” – Craig's right-hand man since 94 but knew of each other for some time as we both attended Roxbury Elementary School back in the day. Donce and Craig became brothers since their freshman year of high school and have been through almost everything best friends can experience. They have lived together, laughed together, cried together…together they’ve been through a lot. Donce is one of the most genuine men you could come across, accountable, levelheaded and also part of the “Awesome Father” club. Very happy and proud to call Donce my brother!!
Del
Groomsman
Del Moor aka “Big Homie” - Craig and this guy have been cool since their Pop Warner football days as far back as 88. One of the flyest and coolest guys you could ever meet on this planet. Del and Craig’s friendship continued to develop throughout their youth as they still competed against each other (see Westhill vs Stamford HS 1997 Turkey Bowl). Ask Del who won that day?? They also had the unique experience of attending the same University which was one of the best years of Craig's ife!!! If you need to get fly, good advice and the newest pair of J’s…this is the guy, proud to call him my brother.
Cameron
Groomsman
Cameron aka Cam aka Cam Diddy I run the city!! He was born on August 18th, one day and five years after his big sister Kendall. He was a very happy baby with a sweet, gentle personality. As he grew, he quickly became a bodyguard for his big sister, always at her side always making sure she was ok while also being carefree and adventurous. Physically he grew quickly! By 14, he was almost 6 feet tall and by junior year he was the sports broadcaster for his school’s morning show, conducting interviews and producing highlight reels for his classmates and friends. He is an intelligent, funny, and thoughtful young man who Craig is proud extremely proud of. He is Craig's son...his heart!
JD
Maid of Honor
I met Nellie in the fall of 2011 where we quickly became inseparable. Partly because I forced her to hang out with me all the time but it clearly paid off so I have no regrets! I look forward to celebrating her happiness and this new beginning with her and all of her and Craig's favorite people.
Myriame
The Regulator
Hi my name is Myriame, aka Mimi. I’m the bride’s older cousin but more like a sister. Our parents would always try to have matching outfits for us when we were younger, I have many pics of twinning outfits with me and baby/toddler Nellie. As we grew older, Nellie has become my one constant, my ace boom cat from a distance. She is my daughter’s godmother and the one person I speak to on a regular. Turns out Craig and I went to the same middle school and had many friends in common. Craig has become an extension of my family and is known as Uncle Fiance by my daughter who was thrilled he FINALLY popped the question. I am excited to officially welcome Craig to my family as my cousin/brother.
Smileyne
Bridesmaid
I'm Smileyne. Nellie and I went to UCONN together. I’m the friend “Let’s go do this” and “I’m down for whatever” friend. I love dancing and used to be apart of colorguard and drill team.Naturally I asked Nellie to join the drill team/dancing team at UCONN and we’ve been friends ever since! I love this girl she is so sweet and has many hidden talents.She has been my adventure buddy, an encourager, and has helped me organize my space and life.She has seen me through ups and downs through graduating, PT school and nursing school. We have seen different chapters in each others lives and I’m so happy to see this new chapter in her life. God has blessed her and I’m thankful that she is my friend.
Chenelle
Bridesmaid
Chenelle aka Nell or Nellie met Neldine in 2018 when she began working with her at AB. Our bond grew stronger after we participated in a 5K sponsored by the job (our first and last 😩). We eventually learned that we had a passion and love for decorating/planning events, which then led to the creation of Ntimate Events.
A little bit more about me, I love to travel. Vacation is self-care, so you can only imagine how excited I am for this destination wedding.
I’m extremely excited for Neldine and Craig on their nuptials!
