“Family is everything to me and I am so excited to gain hundreds more,” Iwasaki captioned an Instagram post at the time.
“If you know Kiki you know he has a massive family lol.

This was such an epic night of family and I can’t wait for forever more,” she continued.
Iwasaki went on to thank Nyemchek’s brother and sister for throwing the soiree, which was held in New Jersey.
“I love you two so incredibly much. Thank you for making our night so special, it was everything we could’ve wanted and more,” she wrote.
Iwasaki and Nyemchek have already started wedding planning. Although they haven’t shared too many details, she has posted a few updates to her Instagram Stories, including a video of her asking her pals to be involved in her special day.
