Caramel-by-the-Sea, California sitting on beach gazing at the beautiful ocean—don’t be jealous!

What was your first thought when you found about the groom and bride’s relationship?

There’s a huge height difference!

General Hospital for sure!!

Who would kill who first if the bride and groom were stranded on deserted island?

Tina would kill Chris from all the talking she’d do!

Which fictional mother do you see the bride closely resembling as a future mother?

June Cleaver because Tina will be such a good mom and housewife!

Well, since Tina idolizes me she’ll probably aim for three kids just like I would like!

YOSTINA FOR SURE!! She finds joy in yelling and disciplining kids every Sunday at church!!

Nobody, that game sucks!

Who should be more scared of their in-laws, the bride or groom?

Chris cause Misho will talk his ear off till the wee morning hours!! Good luck, Chris!

Do you have a funny story about the groom that you'd like to share?

There are sooo many to share, but the most memorable story is when Tina was about 3 and I was 12. Long story short, Tina insisted that I sleep next her and so I woke in what I thought to be a puddle of sweat, but the reality was Tina peed all over the bed and I had been sleeping (rolling around) in her pee all night—GROSS!!

Any last wishes or comments to the bride?

I wish you both the absolute best in your new lives together! You’re two incredible people and I know God has brought you together for so many wonderful reasons. Chris- I admire your grace, gentleness and wisdom at such a young age. Tina- you really are my sister and I love your laughter and I admire your joi de vivre ( joy of life in French). I love you both very much! Cheers to Chris and Tina!!
